You are luckier than me. Stanford is one of the best in the world, well I could not even apply there. My bad luck from the starting. I hope to do best in Purdue and again apply to mit phd. I failed many times in my life but never quit. BEST OF LUCK DUDE....HAVE A GREAT FUTURE.
There is another rejection in the gradcafe. Why the MIT likes to make me suffer for a longtime.I did everything I could do but atlast, it is the fate which decides whether I will make it or not. Bt won't give up. I hv got PURDUE UNIVERSITY #5 in the US and #10 in the world in Aerospace Engineering. So, will apply for PhD to the MIT. So, BOTTOMLINE is NO GIVING UP!!!!
