PlsAdmitMePls Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 20 minutes ago, minuto said: Ah then the small time slot would make more sense. No it is not an estimate, I remember it being on a rejection letter posted on the results page last year. Here they mention 2778 applications for the 2014-2015 cycle, apparently obtained by the department so it should be an official number- https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-admission-statistics-for-top-schools-in-computer-science-information-science-and-computer-engineering I think the number increases every year. Yeah I remember reading a 3000+ number on a thread on this forum last year; someone had posted their acceptance letter verbatim. Man my heart is racing!! Even though I’m not applying for the circuits group, I think this indicates that the results might have a Feb first week release, similar to last year. I’m so excited! 2 more weeks! minuto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVorPhD Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Maaaaaaaaan, MIT EECS is such a troll, sending out this email: "Thank you for applying to our graduate program in EECS at MIT. Our graduate admissions committee is working diligently in the evaluation of all applications. We wish to share two pieces of information with you. 1. Admission notifications will be issued over a period of time and completed by the end of February.2. For applicants who are admitted into our graduate program, our visit days begin the evening of Tuesday, March 6th and end late afternoon on Thursday, March 8.Thank you again for your submission." Got me excited for no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuto Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I didn't receive the email... don't know if they're sending it in batches (wouldn't make much sense) or if I should be worried. EDIT: just got it Edited January 23, 2018 by minuto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlsAdmitMePls Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I got it as well. I think it’s just a standard email, but when I read the email my heart was racing. I started with scanning for key words, like “congratulations,” because I couldn’t bear to read the full email first. Man, this just caught me unaware — I thought it was a decision email. I really can’t wait till February! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minuto Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I want to be positive so let's think about the best case scenario: would international students get a (partial maybe) reimbursement if they want to visit MIT during the visit days in March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlsAdmitMePls Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Many universities reimburse all travel expenses for interviews, though I’m not certain if MIT does. I think the best thing to do would be to reach out to the graduate office with this question. Any answers from this forum might be too generic and might not be the actual situation for your group. minuto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuto Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So I was told by a professor that official notifications are out in the next weeks as every year. Every acceptance in the result survey is most likely unofficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlsAdmitMePls Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Oh wow, that's an incredible insight, thanks for sharing! By any chance, Do you know if they will release the bulk of the results next week, or will they release it in the next weeks (i.e. next week and onwards)? Looking at the results page as well as the graphs posted on the other thread, I'm inclined to estimate a next Thursday/Friday release for the majority of the results, but it would be great if we could get insider confirmation!

minuto Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I don't know that, but I would say it's going to be like every year where the first Thursday/Friday of February is when the majority of decisions go out! And then there's still a little chance to get admitted afterwards until end of Feb (as their email also states).

PlsAdmitMePls Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yes, that makes sense; though, it would be awesome if we get our acceptances sooner rather than later! Man, I'm really looking forward to the end of next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuto Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It's either going to be today or next week. I'm really hoping for the former as I don't want to spend another weekend stressing out. However it's only the 2nd of February. It's such a shame that the first days of February when results usually come out are a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlsAdmitMePls Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yeah, I really hope today is the day. Last year, the majority of results were released on Feb 3, which was also a Friday. Today is just a day behind, so I’m hoping that they still do release it today. minuto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingpoint10924 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I really hope they release them today as well. Any of you also waiting on Berkeley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
