No news. No portfolio visits until now.

I applied to synth neuro for fall 2019 and PI emailed me in early Jan. no word on interview yet though. 

[-dom-]

Anyone applying to the Personal Robots Group? Any updates?

Cool! I applied for Biomech and Synth Neuro, too. Haven't heard anything yet, though. Did you receive an email expressing interest in your app/more information?

[rayito]

Applied for Lifelong Kindergarten, Personal Robots and Fluid Interfaces.

Just waiting for any kind of response.

[crazycheese8]

Hey everyone! I applied too, to Fluid Interfaces and Responsive Environments.

Hi there, have you had any contact yet? For me nothing, but a couple of visits to my portfolio. (applied for the exact same groups)

Is our sample size large enough to determine if we're in trouble yet? 

[Srikanan]

Our sample size is too small. The acceptance rate is less than 6%. I'm guessing we all fall under the remaining 94%. Hopefully not. But haven't heard anything from them since two months and they will announce the results by March first week.?

[aliceinbinary]

Hate to say this but my friend and I both applied (unsure which groups she applied to soz m8), and she’s heard back for an interview. Had her interview this past Sat! I haven’t heard a word yet on my end. Btw she’s got a hefty Wikipedia page

good luck to all xx

I was v interested in applying to  Lifelong Kindergarten but looking through past acceptances on their website I couldn't find anyone who hadn't either gone to MIT as an undergrad or otherwise been previously connected to the program. It really seems like more of a job application than a grad school application ?

It will be better for me as a job application. However, I don't have any connection to them, so it would be better if I place them on 2nd or 3rd choice. 

If what you said is true, it would be unfair to other applicants, and they had better announce it in their pages. However, let's see what happens next.

The professor that gave me an interview at Northwestern has a strong connection with Mitch, so I think I will be doing similar things there.

No portfolio visits yet & no interview yet.

Maybe we can connect via PM

Sure you can message me!

I went there undergrad & have a publication with Mike. I applied to Tech & Social Behavior PhD.

Did you get your interview? Also applying to Lifelong Kindergarten. 

No, I haven't gotten interviews nor page visits so far. I set up Analytics late, on mid Jan, so I'm not sure if there were any MIT visits before that. What about you?

Last month of waiting. Best of luck to everyone!

Nothing happened..

[bounty]

Me too, I have had a couple of visit to my portfolio in January from MIT , but no interview request yet, any thoughts?

[Tigran1368]

Hi everyone! I also had couple of visits on 31st. Anyone applying to Opera of the Future?

[zjh]

I got a brief visit on 5th Feb. But since I applied for both eecs and media lab I don't know which one did the visit. I applied for Responsive Environment, City Science, and Biomechatronics. Anyone got anything?

[Caroler]

Applied to Lifelong Kindergarten, Personal Robots and Fluid Interfaces.

All the best, everyone!
