I know you mentioned she wants Cal Tech and was awarded a fellowship at MIT. Was she already assigned an advisor at MIT? Just wondered this as i was awarded a research assistantship with funding for a specific lab for a Master's since they don't direct admit for a Ph.D unless you have a Master's. BuL 1

I am not sure, will have to ask. I know that they invited her for a visit, but it is the week before finals, and she hates flying, so she might decline.

Asked, she said that she was assigned three advisors. but no specific lab. Correction though, she was admitted to MIT for the Master's program, not PhD.

But I wasn't hedging my bets too much on them, so I'll still wait and see what happens.

Starie Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 @Phoenix88 What did you think about CU Boulder?? I thought this was their visit weekend just past.
askker Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 It seems Caltech didn't admit a signle international student this year. That sucks.

Like everyone is talking about no international student has attended visit day, plus if you look at the gradcafe results all of the admits are "A", not a single one is "U" or "I"

The major reason being not be able to arrange campus visits for the international students. If have not selected any international students they might have at least send a rejection email which probably no one has got yet. So probably we can expect a decision through mail this week or a week after this.

My point being, not all international students are unable to attend the visit day. Like myself, I am an international student with a US degree. I’m currently in US and definitely could attend the visit day ( “U student by gradcafe”) I believe there are many “U” international students like me and apparently none of them has reported an admit.

CU Boulder is a beautiful campus, and the mountains just enhance it! It's solidly still on the top of my list.
Starie Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Awesome!!! I cannot wait to visit but really wish I could have attended the organized visit. Phoenix88 1

Phoenix88 Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Rejections from Caltech and MIT here. Not terribly surprised, they were reach schools. Still waiting on UT Austin's decision, but at this point, I'm between ERAU and CU Boulder for decision making.

I'm still waiting on the offer, as professors are waiting on their current students to get fellowships. But even without the offer, the visit day helped show me that it would be a great place to go, and the professors and students were very accommodating and welcoming. I hope you enjoy your visit there! It should be a wonderful time for you.
