LET_ME_IN_PLEASE

Not fully counting myself out until the end of next week, but it does look kinda grim.

I count 7, variously categorized under CS, EE, EECS.

A third one just posted. According to the calendar the round up meetings are finishing in the next hour. I think this is actually it. Start refreshing your email if you aren't already.

Looks like there's 2 acceptances posted today (see image). Do we think these are real, or just trolling?

I was really hoping today would be the day, since Jan 26 was the decision day last year. My gut says they're more likely to announce in the beginning of the week, so my hopes for a decision this week are fading fast... Do I seem anxious about it? ?

I noticed this yesterday as well (makes me wonder if someone from admissions is looking at these posts, or reading reddit). Last year, the first batch of decisions came out on Jan 26th, which was a Tuesday. Looking at last year's calendar, there were admissions meetings scheduled after the 26th and into the 1st week of Feb. On Wednesday, they also announced the dates for the admitted students days (which will be virtual again this year). IMO decisions will be sent next week.

Interviews are not a standard part of MIT EECS's admissions process. Most admits will not be interviewed.

In the webinar they held in November, they said interviews are not an official part of the admissions process but that individual PIs might reach out informally to get more information on an ad-hoc basis. Regarding the calendar: some events are labeled "Grad Admission Round Up" and that's very clear, but do we also think the "EECS Round Up" is about admissions? Seems kind of weird to have two different names, but also these two kinds of meetings are only held within these two weeks...
