Theory at MIT/Berkeley

[circe]

Hi,

Just wished to know if anybody here applied to/got an admit from the theory groups (especially in Complexity/Quantum Computing) at MIT or Berkeley?

It would also be nice if somebody could give me some idea of how selective the theory groups at these places are.

No replies :-(

at Berkeley this year was very competitive for two reasons:

1) Too many came last year. They admitted 10 and 7 came.

2) Budget cut. (no surprise)

This year only 3 people are admitted in complexity theory at UCB.

Hi gatech and aska,

Thanks for your replies! So are any of you going to the Theory groups at MIT or Berkeley?

I know this is asking for too much, but it'd be great if you post your profiles.

Also I would very much like to know the source of info about Berkeley. Thanks!

Thanks again,

Circe.

Hi yuio932o,

The last post does not seem pertinent to the discussion, so I am flagging it.

One of my senior at UCB working in theory told me that.

Nopes I couldn't make it to UCB

Hi,

Looks like UCB is quite selective. It would be nice if anybody could share some information about MIT also.

@gatech: Thanks for all the information! --circe

If only I could see Papadimitriou...I'm a big fan of him. *Sigh*

How come this post manages to stay at the top of the board even other threads are more current?

Hi GradSchoolNut,

Because it was started by Circe the Sorceress :twisted:

(But really because I was trying out options and ended up marking it as sticky.)
