Ambitious1 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Received the official Cornell admit e-mail today, also in at UCLA Have you decided which one you will accept?
angelmon Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Probably neither :-/. They're both great programs, but funding is pretty important to me and I don't expect to get much from either. I'm also in at a few other programs that I think are good fits for my career goals.
loulou29 Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 In at UCLA, got the email yesterday. Still anxiously waiting for MIT...hopefully by next week?
tingschu Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 In at UCLA, got the email yesterday. Still anxiously waiting for MIT...hopefully by next week? congrats loulou! Do you mind sharing your background? Your admission results indicate you are a very very strong candidate! Also which concentration did you apply at MIT? I guess that's the only school that still matters on your list.

Also which concentration did you apply at MIT? I guess that's the only school that still matters on your list. Hi there! I studied at a small liberal arts school in CA and after graduating in '08 I moved to South America where I am still living. I work at an architecture firm here and I have some experience in the US working at non-profits. I applied to MIT's HCED concentration. So nervous for the results to come out...but I guess this week we'll be finding out!
memento Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 hello! just found out about this forum, wish i had known earlier. anyway, got in at Cornell, Harvard, UIUC, and USC. rejected at Berkeley. i'm ruling out USC since it's so policy-heavy. i don't want to make funding the deciding factor. anyone have insight as to help me pick one of these?! thanks!

MCRM Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Hello to all! I just found this forum today! My focus is more environment related. Duke MEM accepted Michigan SNRE accepted Yale MEM wait listed And MIT MCP in the EPP concentration still waiting... I saw two acceptances on RS today though, via phone, was it anyone from here? I thought we weren't going to hear anything until the end of March....
ama1234 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I applied to the EPP concentration at MIT for the MCP and just got the call this evening saying I was accepted. So excited! Funding info is in the mail. Good luck everyone!
