michigantrumpet Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 hmmmm, someone posted they got into MIT via Phone....hmmm, at this time? i am pretty sure he/she is messing with us :evil: I wouldn't be too sure. A lot of people have gotten personal acceptances from potential advisors (even those with whom they had no prior contact) before official notifications go out. I found out about Stanford and UW from professors, rather than the department. I predict a lot of acceptances will come out between now and the 17th. Of course, I could be way off. Everyone should really stop bugging the admissions office...
tedjj Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Did anyone here get rejected from WUSTL? I saw some people got accepted through website but my status did not change. I am worried now:\ Wonder if they just sent acceptances and are preparing rejections now:P Also, how are students notified about status for Boston University - is it by postal mail or email or phone?
bernard Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Anybody here got accepted to MIT EECS area II?
leogk Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Oooops. I'm now in New York, so I have no idea of what happened in MIT today... But it looks like I am rejected because I don't have any email from MIT admission office today. Congrats on guys who've got admission, and Now I need to prepare myself for being back to Pittsburgh.
michigantrumpet Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 But it looks like I am rejected because I don't have any email from MIT admission office today. Man I hope not! I didn't get acceptances to Stanford or Berkeley until 2-3 days after people started posting admissions to my area. So... keep up the hope until about Friday afternoon I'd say. I guess I'm due for a rejection, though... Looks like I was right about admissions coming out earlier... despite those 10 or so obnoxious survey postings insisting that all the acceptances must have been BS.
bernard Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 So... keep up the hope until about Friday afternoon I'd say. This Friday is 13th, an extremely unlucky day. I think it is unlikely to hear acceptance on this day.
michigantrumpet Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 This Friday is 13th, an extremely unlucky day. I think it is unlikely to hear acceptance on this day. Guess it's tomorrow or bust then
tedjj Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Well, aren't schools closed tomorrow (Thursday)? I know my school is.
michigantrumpet Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 UMich is open... MLK is the only holiday second semester. No snow days either... no matter what! There's nothing on the MIT academic calendar about a day off.
rokxal Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 gonna be hitting that refresh button a lot I'm betting Anyone know if Washington, Columbia, and Princeton released all their acceptance email?
GradSchool123 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Columbia has released first round picks. If you haven't heard, they are waiting for those people to reject their acceptance. The same appears to be true now for Stanford and many other schools. Got my acceptance to Columbia and other schools half a month ago. Some schools, however, are slower.
longhorn Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Best of luck with your applications longhorn.. Thanks nebulasam! I wish I could get into a top school like you
belowthree Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Hi from San Diego, been lurking for awhile, figured it was finally time for me to get an actual username... Not to be terribly pessimistic, but I'm losing my mind waiting for the flurry of rejection letters I'm expecting to hit from Washington, Berkeley and Princeton this next week or two. It's odd how programs notify accepts then wait a week and notify everyone else... I hate situations where no news is bad news, it just makes you wait and wait. Oh well. Anyways... thought I'd say hi and join the conversation.
smilee Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 On the UW Seattle admission webpage http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ ... ments.html, it's said: "However, we welcome applications from students who lack a portion of this background but who show exceptional promise, and accept a small number of these students each year." Is it true? I am from another background but have taken enough undergrad CS courses, have been programming in C/C++ for materials science simulations, and built Beowulf computing clusters from scratch. GRE V730 Q800 AW4.5. GPA grad: 4.0/4.0 undergrad: 89/100 I was hoping UW Seattle would recruit me as one of the "small number of these students", but still got no news...
GradSchool123 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I would say yes this is true, although more stuffy schools like ... well, unnamed schools would be less inclined to do it, especially in this economy when they are accepting less applicants and are playing it "safe". That's just my opinion. I'd like to hear others.
Deguit0 Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 nebulasam said: Washington probably hasn't.. Man, I really hope they haven't yet
rokxal Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 looks like Washington is down for the count. pity ;(
csphd Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 maybe a lil off topic. i dont know much about the admission process, so i wonder, the schools that do not have rolling admission, what causes them to not be able to send out all decisions at the same time or within a few days? (i do assume that before making any decision, they will have to have reviewed all applications.) perhaps, the obvious admits or rejects are notified early? and then, say, out of 100 similarly qualified applicants, the committee take time to debate which 10 to admit, which is why these decisions come later?
jhrgejdobre Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 anyone admitted to the top 6 schools in cs w/out publishing a paper as a ug?
tedjj Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Does anyone know if the rejections from UW are rejections for both PhD and masters?
Deguit0 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Does anyone know if the rejections from UW are rejections for both PhD and masters? I think they are for PhD only
new_neo Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 guys who made into MIT EECS, could u plz post ur profile??
