I got a hit yesterday, Feb 15th.

 

 

Hi, everyone. I haven't seen a post regarding the MIT Media Lab application this year, so this topic is for all candidates to share.

On 6th Jan, my online portfolio had 7 visitors from MIT (Google analytics), averagely staying on 10 minutes (from 1st Dec to present, 16 visitors totally). But I haven't received an interview invitation email yet. Based on the previous years' results, it seems that interview is essential, and I just saw a single post on the Results Panel "Accepted via phone after two rounds of interviews. Very excited!", then it means that someone already got an offer, right?

I was in the Open House 2nd Oct, and the following information is what I have picked up:

Conformable Decoders: Canan's group is a science-core one, and it would be more competitive with a materials background (I remember that David mentioned some transplant project with the BGH), so I didn't choose it since it is not a match for me.

Responsive Environment: For now, all students are at PhD level and no Master students there, still, 0-2 places.

Any additional information would be appreciated (but please do mention your fields of interest, it might be beneficial for others or further applicants). Best wishes for you all.

Are we on a different timeline this year, or is it that the ones who got interviewed are not actively posting on gradcafe?

I am under the impression that many interview requests haven't gone out yet. The main reason I think this is just comparing the frequency of posts and dates from previous years to now. I expect to see interview requests and acceptances rolling out these next 2 weeks. The March 1st deadline is not a hard one judging by years past.

My thoughts different then yours.  Based on the previous years, interviews should have been done already or about to.

I reached out to the Tangible Media group last week,

May I quote "

Please be assured that we are still in the process of reviewing applicants. If you have any further questions or concerns about admissions, you may contact mas@media.mit.edu for more information.

 

We appreciate your patience.

 

Regards, "

 

I am not sure if it is the same for other groups, but I choose to stay positive, even it is already late Feb.

 

And plz add anything aware.

No, it is the 1st March. Btw, I've reached out for Resenv, and Joe said the admission for his group was already done.

Sorry, I have no information regarding this group. And based on previous years' results, if you have not received interview invitation yet, then I am afraid it means rejection.

Acceptance letters are beginning to go out. Got mine this morning. 

[Smile Politely]

Just received a rejection email, though I'm not all that surprised. Oh well, still waiting on decisions from five other schools. Best of luck to everyone!!

Got acceptance email. No exact info on when the program starts in September.

[flyhighhappy1]

What group did you get accepted to? You may private msg me as well if you don't want to share here.

Anyone still on the waitlist? Is this it? Or do we still have a chance?
