manifestinggoodvibes Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 applied to mit eecs phd this cycle! Figured I'd make a thread so people can post interviews, notifications, etc.
SigmaAdmitter Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 I have applied as well, anyone got a notif yet ?
calc3ng Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Same. Based on previous years, it seems like not many will get interviews, and the acceptance emails tend to be sent the last Friday of January at 4:30pm eastern time.
vir432 Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 Applied too. Haven't heard back anything except that common "Happy new year" mail sent to everyone.
vir432 Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 This year's admits are gonna be released early I guess. I can see EECS Admissions Round-up meetings on 24th January itself.
rio_3287 Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Anyone got interview call or any update regarding application? Also does anyone have any idea about what can be done in this waiting period for increasing chances of getting in? Edited January 20, 2023 by rio_3287
cdlos Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I just got an interview today @rio_3287 Edited January 24, 2023 by cdlos
rio_3287 Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Congrats! Who excatly is taking the interview? The professor you have mentioned in your application or someone else? Edited January 24, 2023 by rio_3287
pudgy Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 any other news? saw on reddit that today might be the day
darksteam Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 @pudgySaw one acceptance posted on the GradCafe survey
pudgy Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 lol just one so far yeah? they're really killing us with anxiety this year haha
loonymoony Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Any news? They have that EECS Admissions Round Up meeting till 6pm EST, when do you think the decisions might come? (for admits)
MachinePotato Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Let's face it, most of us will get a reject, but at least we were brave enough to give it a try and suffer here around GradCafe! That takes guts. I'm so proud of us. Anyways, given that the RoundUp this year is irregular in how early it was, I thought I would do some more snooping around and it seems like not all hope is lost (also apparently there are lost of BS GradCafe submission. I mean I could right now pretend I got an admit even though I didn't):
MachinePotato Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 If anyone gets an admit, please be a kind soul and provide more details to prove that an official and legit acceptance has been issued!
MachinePotato Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Final thing (I could be totally wrong btw): this guy himself from MIT estimates from MIT's data that the yearly graduate admit to EECS at MIT is likely larger than 100 (according to MIT's own website, there are currently 700 PhD students in EECS - HUGE!): https://www.quora.com/How-many-PhD-students-do-Stanford-EE-MIT-EECS-and-Berkeley-EECS-admit-each-year-respectively As it currently stands, I only see 2 "alleged" admissions to MIT EECS and one defo BS MIT EECS rejection. Given that EECS is super popular, there should be much more response than that by now. If we look just a few days ago, there are much more admissions for Material Science, which I assume is a less popular program than EECS. The current numbers just look weird to me ^^ Edited January 25, 2023 by MachinePotato pudgy 1
MachinePotato Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Final, final thing: check out this guy's thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/gradadmissions/comments/10a41fv/eebioebiosciences_phd_programs/ Seems legit since he actually got an interview from the super prestigious Caltech, UCLA, and UT Austin (he was accepted). If anyone is going to be accepted by MIT, it's defo this guy. He also has updates for MIT and he too as of right now has heard nothing from MIT. Just another thing for you to track if you're anxious! Hopefully all of this helps ^^ Edited January 25, 2023 by MachinePotato pudgy 1

waitstar Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Though 100% reject, I have no regret I have the courage to apply to the top school in my life.
