Jan 28th: EECS graduate round up meeting Feb 1st: EECS graduate round up back up hold on everyone!! No, I am not. I have several friends in the program and I also met my POI in person. That's how I found out about this stuff.
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 @phdee2019 I see. I do really hope the results will come out on Fri next week, so I can go on with my life!
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 nice, that you met your POI before. Did you have interview too?

Before the application deadline. I am also doing Applied Physics/Microelectronics like yourself. Have you heard back from any other schools?
MAshKam Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 I can see acceptance in the results page. Do you think it is official acceptance? Also my major is robotics and I haven't recieved a call for interview should I expect rejection by now?

They haven't made any decisions as you can see from the calendar link I posted. Wait until the end of February at most. MAshKam 1
peanutjellyfish Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Oh this is really awkward. My interview seems to occur after their meeting. UhhhhHHHHHHH.... Edited January 27, 2019 by peanutjellyfish
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 @phdee2019 woww that awesome! hi V in the air! yess, I have been accepted to two safe schools outside US. One is actually my dream lab already. May I know the initial of ur POI at EECS who talked with u?
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 @peanutjellyfish good luck! I think there is another meeting on Fri next week too. I think it is not possible to have round up meeting in one day (as EECS is the biggest department in MIT)

Plenty of other schools do it.
i_am_freaking_out Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Yo do y'all see the stuff on the results page? Notifications coming out soon.

zjh Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I had my interview on 24th (robotics), and was told that results should be finalized and even posted on 28th. Which is somewhat consistent with one of the posts. shrek12 1

SGD18 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) My POI stated on his website that prospective grad applicants should not contact him and instead, should just mention him in their applications. So I didn't ? Was this a bad move? Edited January 28, 2019 by SGD18 Make message more concise

I have applied for robotics too but no interview. Good luck The Professor who interviewed me is in a pretty different field than my interest. Also I didn't indicate him in my application. As a result, I don't think I did well at all. His research is very cool tho and I really hope he could consider me for his lab. GPA: 3.75, GRE: V160 Q168 AW5.5 Two 3-month internships at two top robotics companies. One 7-month internship at a robotics cloud computing startup. Two years of undergrad research experience, but no pub. Three very strong letters (two from PIs, one from CEO). Was project lead for a UAV project team for three years. Got $10000 award from IARPA challenge (in biometrics) b4. MAshKam 1
