  1. Thanks a lot for the detailed post! My country has a tax treaty with the US and I will see if this brings any benefits. It's a shame that the $4k deduction has been eliminated, I think international students will struggle more from now on.
  2. My campus visit invitation specifically says you can bring a spouse or partner if you'd like so (obviously you're responsible for paying their expenses), maybe yours also mention some information about this? You can visit around during the day and then celebrate in the evening for example!
  3. Hi, I know little to nothing about the tax situation in the US and I'm trying to calculate how much I would pay in tax when I'll move there to do my PhD. It will be in Boston, MA. From what I understand tuition is not taxed (thankfully), but monthly stipend is. Is yearly medical insurance taxed? Are there any form of deductions for students, apart from the personal allowance? Thanks to anyone that can help me shed some light on this!
  4. Thank you! Don't despair, there are other rounds of acceptances!
  5. https//calendars.mit.edu/eecs and then click on "All Rooms".
  6. Thank you, it was my dream group! I got it at 10.35 Boston time!
  7. Computer Systems!
  8. MIT results are out! And I've been admitted! Still shaking, it was my only application!
  9. I'm in! I'm still shaking! This was my only application, such a long shot!
  10. I found out my mobile plan doesn't allow me to make international calls outside of Europe, only receive them. So unfortunately I couldn't. EDIT: I sent them an email. I don't expect an answer, but at least I made them aware that internationals that want to attend the visit days would benefit from knowing early.
  11. They're just having a meeting about it. Not the visit days themselves.
  12. They're having a "Visit Days meeting" today https://calendars.mit.edu/Pages/CalendarViews/MonthView.aspx?OrganizationId=9&RoomId=64
  13. That's kind of disappointing. The year I apply they take longer than usual to respond... I might actually call tomorrow. The issue for me is that in the case I am admitted (!) I would like to attend the visit days and since I'm international, the sooner I know, the better it is to organize the trip.
  14. It really looks like they're running late this year :/
  15. It's 5pm there, probably going to be next week :\
  16. It's either going to be today or next week. I'm really hoping for the former as I don't want to spend another weekend stressing out. However it's only the 2nd of February. It's such a shame that the first days of February when results usually come out are a weekend.
  17. What are the schools?
  18. I don't know that, but I would say it's going to be like every year where the first Thursday/Friday of February is when the majority of decisions go out! And then there's still a little chance to get admitted afterwards until end of Feb (as their email also states).
  19. So I was told by a professor that official notifications are out in the next weeks as every year. Every acceptance in the result survey is most likely unofficial.
  20. I want to be positive so let's think about the best case scenario: would international students get a (partial maybe) reimbursement if they want to visit MIT during the visit days in March?
  21. Another acceptance, getting quite nervous now
  22. I'm pretty sure they're referring to the email we got yesterday. It looks like they're really staggering the batches.
  23. I can see an EECS admission in the result page...
  24. My guess is they received a lot of emails of people asking their status, so they just sent a mass email telling everyone to wait. I hope they're not taking longer than the previous years because that would mean there are even more applicants...
  25. I didn't receive the email... don't know if they're sending it in batches (wouldn't make much sense) or if I should be worried. EDIT: just got it
