IEOR

In my opinion, Northwestern sent most of the acceptance letters and is holding some students on waitlist. Did you apply to Northwestern and have not heard?

Are you basing your guess/theory on the fact that tomorrow is Friday 13th and they will freak us out on this day

I called Berkeley IEOR today, because someone posted acceptance letter on gradcafe on February 4. They said that they are reviewing the applications one by one and sending decisions in parts not all at a time...

Yes both are hard to get. In MIT, is it ORC or directly Sloan? If it is Sloan, then it is hard squared

That is sad. It did not apply USC Business School. I am sure that the business schools are more competive thanIEOR programs that are located in engineering schools. The only B-school that I applied is UCLA Anderson DOTM program. The rest are IEOR programs in engineering. What about you how many B-school vs engineering?

I applied for PhD for all universities. I am sure it is hard to get to MIT's ORC program. But somehow the number of PhD applicants to that program is not large. In year 2006, 120 students applied for MIT's PhD program, and they admitted 22, which makes its acceptance rate 18%. http://web.mit.edu/orc/www/academics/ad ... stats.html The number of applicants for other schools are at least 200, or 300+ for some of them.

fakeworm, Congratulations on your Cornell acceptance. Did you apply to other universities(MIT, Columbia) for masters, too?

Probably your decision is still under review. Because Northwestern sent rejections to some people on February 6. I also applied to IEOR programs in Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, MIT etc. No news so far, but thegradcafe archives show that Berkeley and Columbia announces some of the decisions in mid-February...

Orange, which universities did you apply? Any results so far? I applied to IEOR PhD programs. I got rejections from Northwestern IEMS last week. Waiting for others...
