Applications consideration

[Rpxp]

Hi,

Are applications reviewed as an when they arrive, or are they all assessed when applications close (December 15th)? Particularly interested in MIT EECS.

Thanks.

Officially, it depends on whether the program is rolling or not. In practice, many schools start looking over materials even before applications are complete and before the deadline has passed (ie fwding things to professors mentioned in SOPs). As far as I know about MIT course 6, this does not happen, but of course, I'm not on the ad com. If someone has more info, feel free to correct me.
