mewtwo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Does anyone know if the MIT results are legitimate or not? They seem to be coming in at around the correct date, but none of the comments are remotely insightful and they seem to be coming in far too quickly (I know my first action after getting the email isn't to go on thegradcafe to put a contentless result). mewtwo 1
Azazel Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) They are legitimate. It was a generic acceptance letter, emailed in mass, which is why the results appeared so quickly. Somewhat to my surprise, I received one. Edited February 9, 2011 by Azazel
closetgeek Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 there it is..there went my sanity. its officially gone..first UMass, now this! there is only so much I can take in a day! ugh, i just want to know :/

Somewhat to my surprise, I received one. Congratulations Azazel, that's a huge achievement. I do hope they are still sending out a few more. P.S.: Just for the sake of my curiosity, could you post your "stats"? What do you think gave you the edge to get into this program over the competition? Edited February 9, 2011 by achapiro

I'm really surprised that you got accepted to UCB and rejected to UW. Do you know why?

closetgeek Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 my sanity is temporarily revived (likely caused by a spike of energy generated from my energy drink) .. Congrats to everyone who got in!
Ujjawal Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 my sanity is temporarily revived (likely caused by a spike of energy generated from my energy drink) .. Congrats to everyone who got in! Ya that's the spirit closetgeek. It's just the start. Not an end by any means. just be optimistic. sooner or later we will also hear some good news. But its better if its sooner. hope for the best.
Lanchka Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I was told by a suitably placed source that they would be admitting a sum total of one person from my country in my area of specialization. Turns out it's not me
beanbagchairs Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ... sooner or later we will also hear some good news. But its better if its sooner. hope for the best. Amen to that! congrats azazel! That's no ordinary achievement.

phd4hire Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) to those who received acceptance email, is it only for CS applicant or does it include EE also (for all EECS)? Edited February 9, 2011 by phd4hire
newms Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 They are legitimate. It was a generic acceptance letter, emailed in mass, which is why the results appeared so quickly. Somewhat to my surprise, I received one. Congrats, Azazel!
achapiro Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I'm really surprised that you got accepted to UCB and rejected to UW. Do you know why? UCB = Berkeley? I got into UBC = University of British Columbia, in Canada. Does that explain it? =)
hn531 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 UCB = Berkeley? I got into UBC = University of British Columbia, in Canada. Does that explain it? =) Yes.
psychopath@100 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Did your eecs mit application status change?
Azazel Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Did your eecs mit application status change? No, it hasn't changed.
pandy Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Seems like the MIT chapter is closed. The admission committee meeting happened on 4th according to the calendar, and there are no more rounds: http://eecscal.mit.edu/Pages/CalendarViews/MonthView.aspx?RoomId=3&Date=2/10/2011+12:00:00+AM

2006 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Well darn. :\ Looks like both UCB and MIT are no-gos for me. I have heard there is a (small) waitlist, so if you do not get a rejection (whenever those get sent out), there still might be hope.
