dblsr Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 But do we get notified if we are put on the waitlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca8 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 But do we get notified if we are put on the waitlist? Yes. You'll know about your rejection/waitlist next week. At least it's how they played it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuderino Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The three lucky and intelligent people who posted admits to MIT EECS today (10 Feb) in the results survey, can you please tell us which areas you are? Please, if you are reading this... I'm Area I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitindian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 no mail about the status... Any international applicant got word from mit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinquenion Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Any international applicant got word from mit? I'm not international, but the generic (area II) open house email I received from MIT mentioned both overseas airfare and getting a visa. Thus, my guess is that some internationals also got the same email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinquenion Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 thanks for the reply...can you post your profile...you applied for m.s + ph.d or for ph.d alone My full profile is in the signature link, over on the mathgre forums. To summarize, I did my undergrad at a large American public university in math/chemistry, then did two masters degrees on a major fellowship to the UK in chemical biology/applied math. No formal CS training at all, but lots of research and some publications. To be honest, I don't know if my masters degrees are acceptable replacements for the M.S. in CS, so I'm not sure if I applied for M.S. + Ph.D. or just Ph.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSP7 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi everyone, this is my first post in grad cafe. Should we assume a rejection or a wait list for those who didn't get any news so far? Also, did anyone apply to area 7 ? BioEE ? Let me know if anyone has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 sorry to say but a rejection is most likely, waitlist is euphemism for that, a little consolation that one was good enough, there werent much slots..and as fleur pointed out a long wait with very small probability of getting in...

ftw Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 are these "decision dates" for PhD applicants only, or for both Masters and PhD applicants alike? Btw, congrats to all who got in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks tjc, I applied for area 7, BioEE so I was hoping that they send out their acceptances at a different time. I guess I'll assume a rejection for now.
