mewtwo Posted February 9, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awexome Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I hope not, but seems likely to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel Posted February 9, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Lanchka Posted February 9, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phd4hire Posted February 9, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achapiro Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm really surprised that you got accepted to UCB and rejected to UW. Do you know why? UCB = Berkeley?

pandy Posted February 10, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006 Posted February 10, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
