I'm going to treat my wife and me to a nice dinner at a great restaurant and thank her for putting up with me and my stress!

I will be quitting my job and going on a vacation. I don't get to see my family very often.

nanoE got a reaction from yoconman in MIT EECS 2015
Actually I kinda feel relieved after my rejection.
Now I am secretly starting to support my friend according to whom PhD from MIT is just a waste of time since you pretty much
get the same education as you get from other top-20 uni but might end up spending 2-3 years more to get it.
However, I sort of still feel the pain of not being able to say "Hey, I got into MIT".
Who knows may be that's all there is to MIT!
And also grapes are probably very sour.

Yes, you are right. So, I have already assumed I am rejected by MIT... -

@thissiteispoison - I'm hoping so too, but for now assuming it is a reject. Very unlikely beyond this point.

Looks like someone has been interviewed, and accepted into MIT CS PhD (in results search). Thought MIT did not interview, and roundup meeting was yet to be held?

nanoE reacted to bsharpe269 in Value of undergrad research work in PhD applications
For some perspective, I only had around a 3.3 uGPA and then a 4.0 MS GPA. I do have good GRE scores. I have tons of research and great LORs from that and have invited to interview at multiple top 20 schools in my field and even a top 10 school. From my experience, some schools seem completely uninterested in my app and at others that value research strongly, I seem to be one of the school's top choice candidates. I am realizing that the research vs GPA issue seems to be dependent on that specific school in question. Your GPA is great though so I wouldn't worry either way.
