itheproofofstupidity Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Nothing from Columbia or Princeton yet for me. My gut is telling me MIT is coming out pretty soon, if not today. While I have my fingers crossed for MIT, I'm not holding my breath. However, I expect MIT will clear out positions at other universities so those of us on waitlists (officially or silent waitlist) can have a shot! Good luck everyone. I hope to work with some of you soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itheproofofstupidity Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Anyone get any good news yet or made any decisions on schools? I've been waitlisted from Georgia Tech, Chicago booth and Yale and currently waiting on Berkeley ieor after they sent me an email last week that my application is good and decisions being finalized soon. The wait is killing me! Getting into any of these schools would be a dream.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonionring Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Same here. I've been waitlisted from Cornell and Columbia. I've also been waiting to hear back from Berkeley after I received a similar email last week. I was going to send them an email this afternoon but was also afraid that they might respond with a rejection lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itheproofofstupidity Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I do wonder if the Berkeley email we got last week was their way of telling us we were waitlisted without using the word "waitlist".. hmm.. Seems like rejections went out yesterday theonionring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey! Yeah I’ve been keeping in touch with a faculty there who has been advocating for me with the adcom. She reached out to me because my research interests align with her work and I wrote about her in my SoP. Seems like Georgia Tech often take many people off the waitlist so we can keep hope! It’s also a huge program (30-35 people per class). Check out the ISyE PhD twitter page. It is very very informative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducky500 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi guys, has anyone who was waitlisted by Georgia Tech heard from Professor Erera about the informational webinar, that he mentioned in his initial waitlist email, to learn more about the program? Also, does anyone have any suggestions on what to do after being waitlisted. Should we just wait it out or should we reach out to anyone? Thank you very much.

That’s funny you ask because I actually emailed him earlier this afternoon asking about the webinar. I will update y’all if I get a response. Also, it might be a good idea to reach out to a faculty member you’d like to work with and express interest and see if they will lobby on your behalf. Otherwise, I think it’s just wait and see at this point ? fortunately is a really big program where 30-35 people are admitted so we waitlisted folk can keep hope! If you check out the ISyE PhD Twitter from like 2015/2016, they will sometimes tweet “as of today we have ten people accept their offers!” And then a few days later “we have twenty offers!” It gave me a good idea of timelines and how quickly people accept their offers and when we can expect to hear them. When all of us get in, we gotta get together and celebrate as students! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itheproofofstupidity Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) @theonionring Hey! I gave the Berkeley department a call and they told me i am on the waitlist and told me my exact position. I suspect most of us who received that email are also on the waiting list. You should give them a ring and see what they say! They also told me the program has 10 spots so take that how you will. They also mentioned decisions should be finalized by end of next week.
