cecsapp Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Hello all, The application asks about professors of interest or if anything is not chosen the adcomm committee would take care of assigning the app to a professor. Would it increase my chances if I leave it blank? I don't want to end up chosing profs on hiatus or not taking in any students. Thanks!
anacron Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 If I understand the application correctly, the "suggested reader" selections will help the adcomm in forwarding your application to the correct research area. I don't think that it - in any way - binds you to those professors or that research area. You should make these selections to fit your SOP and research experience. For example, if you did AI research then select an AI professor. The AI professor can relate to your work better than, say, a Systems professor. You can always change advisors and research interests after you're admitted. Good luck!
rbhujang Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Tentatively, when does the EECS department at MIT send out their decisions(International Students)?
boohoo Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 They have already. The roundup was on Thursday, I think.
rbhujang Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Oh ok, since I haven't received any mail or message on the application, would it be fine to call on the department regarding the same?
j3doucet Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 If you do, can you post back their response?
