What is happening @ Caltech regarding EE ?

Any updates regarding Harvard EE ?

Any updates from anyone regarding Harvard SEAS (specifically EE (electrical))? Did anyone receive a letter or package via surface mail?

Yes, do not call the admissions office ... they will not give specific answers ... they are usually vague ... How about calling the EE office and asking them specifically about the Open House Day? They definitely must be planning for this Open Day, and so must have a tentative date in mind. Here are some administrative Folks @ EE department @ Caltech that might know the answer. Department Administrator Carol Sosnowski Option Secretary Tanya Owen

Oh, I forgot to mention that my hypothesis has a chance of working for PhD candidates ... It might fail for Master's students ... usually master's students do not get invited for open day visits (i think) ( i think some people apply for PhD, but get an offer for Master's ... and usually such decisions are sent out after the open day is over) i do not mean to discourage you ... maybe a miracle happens here ... let us see ...

Anyone know about the open house date of Caltech EE? Anyone dare to phone them?

So, the next time an applicant calls any admissions office, it might be better to do the following : 1) Do not ask about your admissions decision directly ... cause you will probably not get the right answer ... maybe a vague answer ... such as decisions are still being made ... etc... 2) Instead, ask them about the Open Day and when it has been scheduled ... they will tell you the date (hopefully) ... and from this information you can indirectly infer whether or not you will receive an admit or reject (if the open house date is very close to the date you called ... and you have not received any notification from the office till then ... then you will probably get rejected) (if the open house date is a few weeks from the date you called .. you might have chance) Just a thought ...

Sure, hope is all we got. However, the website also mentions "More to come" ... they might add the other SEAS branches ... in the next few days ... before the 4th of March. Also, Harvard SEAS does include EE (electrical eng.), they will have to include it. Need to monitor that website. Area Specific Activities Applied Mathematics Applied Physics Bioengineering Computer Science Environmental Sciences and EngineeringMore to come ...

Unless Harvard SEAS has a second open day (date later than March 4th), i do not have much hope for the decisions that will be sent out after March 4th.

HArvard SEAS open house is on March 4th according to the following site. http://www.seas.harvard.edu/news-events/calendars/community/grad-student-open-house/view Something looks fishy ... cause it is already March 1st today :-(

Did anyone receive the snail mail from Harvard SEAS? Anyone close to Boston area? Just curious :-)

Thanks for the info. Does a letter from the grad. office usually mean a rejection? ..... I am new to this system. :-( I thought that acceptances usually come in the form of phone calls / interviews or via e-mail.

Anymore news from the EE department? Saw quite a few acceptances on the 22nd and 23rd. Is that all, or are they sending out a 2nd wave of acceptance? Anyone with any info. on this?

Is the open day for Harvard on Friday, April 1st? The following website seems to say so. http://gsas.harvard.edu/images/stories/pdfs/orientation_for_newly_admitted.pdf
