Anyone on MIT CS waitlist?

[angusBF]

Is there anyone here who is on the MIT EECS waitlist for CS? I got placed there "along with about 50 others" when all the admissions decisions came out in early Feb.

If anyone is also on the CS waitlist, have you heard anything since then? Any e-mails? Any status changes on the web-page? Have you been admitted/rejected? Please let me know, it really sucks waiting in the dark.....

Come ooooon people. If there are 50 people on this wait-list, or so they claimed to me, perhaps at least one of you has read this message?!?!?? If so PLEASE post.

Even if you read this *after* April 15th, please please respond anyway. My deadline for my 2nd choice school is not until April 30th. Thanks.

From what I've heard, they have never gone to the waitlist before so it is unlikely that they will this year

Well yes, that's what they tell you officially on the wait-list letter. "In the past several years we have not been able to offer admission to any students placed on the wait-list." But I know this to be untrue directly from one of the MIT faculty who told me that they have known of several students who were admitted from the wait-list. I also know this professor to be serious when discussing things like this. So I am under the impression that they tell you this on the letter so you can't blame them for stringing you along so to speak.
