Usually, the first wave involves acceptances to students that the university definitely wants. Edited January 29, 2019 by SGD18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek12 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 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!

susan2.0 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 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 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is that they will be sending out acceptances this Friday or early next week (Tuesday/Wednesday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myaooo Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howard_schultz Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 They could notify on the weekend. For undergrad admissions they release on Pi day, which sometimes coincides with weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
