Yeah, do you think they send all emails at once? 

Acceptances are sent out in multiple waves.
Usually, the first wave involves acceptances to students that the university definitely wants.

I think for MIT they would send most of the acceptances in one batch. I think 2 or 3 years ago there was a glitch where they did not hide the list of all the students they sent acceptances to (someone posted the list of the students and then deleted it for privacy purpose)

I think the poster of MIT EECS result yesterday got his acceptance unofficially from POI. There will be another round up meeting this Fri (Feb 1st) based on the calendar. If not by the end of this week, I think we will hear it early next week!

how do you know that? 

[susan2.0]

So what is the consensus? The notifications are sent out in waves? And the people who have already posted their acceptances are most likely the first wave? Or is it more probable that all notifications have already been sent?

[susan2.0]

Just heard admissions have NOT been sent out. This means that the acceptances posted on gradcafe are unofficial to date. Please in the future if you get an unofficial acceptance - MENTION THAT.

Not sure when the sending date will be.

My prediction is that they will be sending out acceptances this Friday or early next week (Tuesday/Wednesday).

Is there circuit applicants of MIT or Stanford who had interviews with there POIs?

I haven't seen Integrated Circuit applicants who had their interview yet...

I don’t live in the US and met with my POI accidentally in my university canteen today. He doesn’t know that I’m applying.

 

Should I be worried? 

[shrek12]

lets hope the results to come out today or we must wait for another week of uncertainty

Are you applying to EE or CS? as far as I know, mostly for EE, your admissions are decided by the admissions committees. And later, once u accepted in MIT, in ur first year, u will choose one prof to be ur PhD supervisor. However, in some cases (some in CS) or in other uni, u must be picked by one prof who agree to be ur supervisor to get admitted. 

That is being said, u still have chance to get accepted if admissions committees decide so. fingers crossed.

Oh, MIT, too, does not have PhD advisor in the first year? Wow... it's really tough

next week i guess

[shrek12]

Yes, next week. My homepage got unique visit from MIT IP address. They are considering my application until this state. Fingers crossed

[howard_schultz]

Accidentally applied to MIT PHD program, thought it was a terminal Masters program. I go to Ivy League top engineering school with 3.9 GPA, 4 years research, 4 internships at good companies, and 4 LORs. No interview yet, so prolly getting rejected

[howard_schultz]

They could notify on the weekend. For undergrad admissions they release on Pi day, which sometimes coincides with weekend.

Was the visit recent?
That would mean they are nowhere near finalizing the applicants. ?

Edit: I got one on 20th January.
