drunk Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It seems that a couple of applicants have received the admit letter from EE MIT as seen in the results section and many more are very concerned about when the results will be out. Let's discuss and report results here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daliu87 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Got an interview invite email from JHU BME yesterday, the interview dates are Feb 24-25 or March 11-12. Scheduling is getting interesting since the dates conflict with other potential schools... lovely and was1984 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andandand Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Almost all of the admits from MIT EECS seem to be CS though. I'd guess that they didn't send out EEs yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunk Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) i agree with andandand. From Last year's results page, i can guess that it is going to come soon (today or tomo). Edited February 9, 2011 by drunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerds88 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 i agree with andandand. From Last year's results page, i can guess that it is going to come soon (today or tomo). I can confirm that at least for MIT, a lot of the EE decisions were sent out around 11pm EST last night. Looking at last year's decision notification time, there doesn't seem to be too many rounds of notifications (or at all?). Still hopeful that there will be another round though...

pingpong Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I think, I can assume a reject if I dont hear back before this weekend. What happened to Stanford, Yale, Princeton's results ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemud Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 MIT Electrical Engineering acceptances went out yesterday and/or today (some might trickle out tomorrow, but they tend to be quick about it). (I'm a grad students in the department, and just got a few Acceptancees to email with Congratulations.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks for that information. So the last possible date would be 11th Feb ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemud Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thanks for that information. So the last possible date would be 11th Feb ? It's not definite as to when the last possible date is. All I'm saying is that decisions are made and acceptances are going out. I would expect it to take them only about 1-2 days to inform everyone.

Nepo999 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Results here only seem to be internationals. I am international, but currently living in US. Do they send out these mails depending on the permanent address that you give them? Edited February 10, 2011 by Nepo999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that a US citizen living in MA (and attending MIT) got in the PhD program last night, so I'm guessing it's not location dependent.

pingpong Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Didnot hear back yet. Guess it is a reject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andandand Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) No one from my area (3) has reported anything yet on gradcafe, so there still might be a chance...in any case, I am going to assume I didn't get in until I hear otherwise.

lovely Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Has MIT finished sending out acceptances for EECS? So far there were less than 10 acceptances seen on "thegradcafe". Edited February 11, 2011 by lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Seems to be the case. Not everyone admitted will have knowledge of thegradcafe. But, we might be waitlisted as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you got into Berkeley? Congrats! Did you get an unofficial admit from a Prof or the official email? Also could you please share your stats? Thanks.

tfc Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I know for a fact that a US citizen living in MA (and attending MIT) got in the PhD program last night, so I'm guessing it's not location dependent. I am a U.S. citizen studying in the U.S. (not at MIT). I got a congratulations e-mail ~10:30 pm (Eastern time) from MIT on Wednesday, 02/09. I received a letter+booklet in the mail the next day (the letter was dated February 07). The envelope was marked IV, so I'm assuming this was the area that my interests were determined to fall under. In short, to confirm, yes, the timing of this wave of admissions seems to not be location-dependent. Some more info that you all might find useful and/or interesting: - The letter said that information about financial support (including fellowships) will come in March - Visiting days are March 4-5. The RSVP deadline is Wednesday, February 16, so I assume that they plan to send out all (or almost all) admissions by this date. - My application website hasn't been updated (it still says check back in March for a decision...), so as far as I know, if you're anxious, there's no point in obsessively refreshing that website.

lovely Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Did anyone hear back from MIT (EECS) this week (starting Feb. 14)? If Feb. 16 is the deadline to RSVP for the open day, then chances of getting accepted are pretty slim for the rest of us who have not yet heard back !! Also, it makes sense that most of the rejects will be handed out on Feb.18/19 if Feb. 16 is the RSVP deadline. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudulche Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I haven't heard from Berkeley or MIT EECS so I am preparing myself for a reject, I guess this year the competition was tough.... I am hoping at least I will get into Stanford EE without funding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahmin Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 eh? Is this true for Mechanical Engineers as well? The meet and greet in early March and the RSVP date is same for all majors? From college confidential, I heard they give sure rejects and admits first. Yes, they have given some acceptance letters out, but I thought there are still a lot more spaces and they are hanging back with the rest of them to have an eye on the class size before making further decisions. I thought it's a good thing I didn't get a letter from them and that they are still debating cuz I noe a friend who got a rejection letter form them and I haven't received one yet. Plus, their website says people will get to know at the latest like March, so there's hope till then! Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think that each department decides its visiting day separately (at least friends in other departments say that their MIT visiting dates are not March 4-5...and some haven't even heard back yet either), so the dates that I gave are only confirmed for EECS.

lovely Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Anymore good / bad ... news / updates from MIT EECS applicants? Edited February 17, 2011 by lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andandand Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Got a letter today: "You are officially on the wait list with 50 other students. Final decisions will be made in May. Traditionally only one or two students from the wait list are admitted. You should continue to develop alternative plans for continuing your graduate education." Slightly better than being outright rejected, at least...but effectively means the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
