I have noticed 3 people of these supposedly MIT admissions have used the term "thrilled". I have not seen this particular word being used in any other results page... But maybe I am just going crazy interpreting, as a result of extreme anxiety. Glad to have this group to share these moments. Good luck to all!

People on this forum are fairly forthcoming with acceptances and everyone has been quick to congratulate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acimova Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 8 hours ago, iamlia said: Hi! I am in exactly the same situation, following this post to see what people's thoughts are. I've been living in NY doing my Master's the last two years with a very modest stipend and am looking forward to something even just a bit higher, if admitted. Also I'm in IR too! Did they tell you how many they expect to admit? I didn't ask and now I'm regretting it because it's probably my only option by now. Good luck! Hi and thanks for sharing your perspective. I have not asked anything about the number of admitted, but I got a sense that they will more or less accept those interviewed. They said thought that it might take weeks rather than days to hearing back from them again. Nevertheless, my major concern is funding offer, as I've seen some numbers from previous years and am a bit concerned if that would be enough. What are your thoughts on this? I guess you can judge even better in terms of what is realistic for a decent life in the city. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's an advantage and expand opportunities significantly. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxlux Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Congrats to all admitted today!!!

Oboeist Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Congrats to the MIT admits! One thing that I found out when I was researching the school is that there's a position called Graduate Resident Advisor (GRA). It's a program where you can serve as a live-in advisor for an undergraduate dorm on campus and you get free housing. You can apply for it after your first year as a graduate student. Just something to think about if you want to save some money! https://studentlife.mit.edu/beagra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
