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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it felt more like an interview for the first 30 min. I guess that was my interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutjellyfish Posted January 27, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek12 Posted January 27, 2019 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of other schools do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zjh Posted January 28, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGD18 Posted January 28, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

I think if the guy indeed received official emails (not early congrat email from POI), then probably all acceptances should be sent out today.
