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.

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.

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.

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.

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... :)

Posted

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...

Posted

are these "decision dates" for PhD applicants only, or for both Masters and PhD applicants alike?

Btw, congrats to all who got in

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.

hmmm... I think country ranking matters.....An average/good GPA from US/ EU is preffered over an excellent GPA from South Asian countries.... :(
