I heard that the funding and admissions decisions are not made at the same time at MIT. I dont know if that is completely true, but if thats the case, then those points may not necessarily be disadvantages

Yeah, I'm skeptical of that. Remember the RSVP date for open house? We are past that deadline now.

I dont think EECS sends rejections through email usually. I called them up and was told that everybody was being sent official notifications by tomorrow through post. So, the decisions have already been made, and if it was positive, there is no reason we wouldn't have gotten an email by now. Which leads me to believe that we probably are going to end up with a few more no-activity days and then see a postal letter in the mailbox one fine day. I'm sad. :evil:

lol... I called, they said next week. But I guess thats just a tongue in cheek reply.

I have almost given up hope. ok, maybe thats a lie 8)

Did anyone call/is planning to call MIT EECS today to get an update???

nope. but i noticed they have their RSVP deadline for the EECS visit day as this friday! http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Gradadm/VisitDay/CSVD/index.html

yeah, I noticed. I just called up berkeley. They said my app is still under review.

Yes, and btw, I was thinking about Berkeley, and if we notice carefully, all the rejects were sent out by this time last year(around Feb 18th and 17th). Does this mean its a good thing to have not explicitly heard a rejection from Berkeley EECS? How many of you are waiting on that too?

Good luck for tomorrow everyone

No wait another day for MIT. Today is a holiday there.

Congratulations, lifegoeson!

I heard the EE admissions comitee meeting was on Friday the 9th this year. Hopefully, we'll hear something in a couple of days at least because of the Wed(21st) EE visit RSVP requirement they set themselves.

If you dont mind, can i ask you how you get this statistic?

I'm just wondering if its all over now.
