jimmy_01 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Any updates with this? Anyone get back any emails? I know that MIT was closed for like 3 days (snow storm), so maybe they're a little late with sending the admissions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickspoon Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Looking at the number of acceptances this year so far, it's comparable with the total number of acceptances last year. While that isn't a definite indicator, it gives me somewhat less hope of an acceptance having not received one yet. (Yes, I have been obsessing over this a bit. Sigh.)

charlesjeon Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I agree with nickspoon. Called the admissions today, but no answer on the app status. The agent told me though, that the decisions will be uploaded by Feb 15? May need to check on that. If I don't hear back anything by tonight, ill just expect a rejection!

AGradStudentHasNoName Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 now just gotta hope for the MIT computational biology program for me. It does fit me better (undergrad CS/comp bio then med school then biotech industry research on the computational side). And some ppl have gotten rejections from that at this point and I haven't so here is hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadfsdfsf Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looking at the past the admission results, only rejections are displayed on the website. So if they say they're updating their website on the 15th, you better prey you get an email of acceptance before that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitindian Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 it is a bit hazy about interview dates. I think it is open house and visit days. I too applied for MS + PhD in MIT EECS. Disappointed that i couldn't get in. Second year in a row :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak48 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Found out about Grad cafe today. Was feeling optimistic until reading his thread and seeing the results page Ah well, it will be over when I see the official rejection. And if so, such is life.

mhmtmtl Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=%28%22electrical%22%7C%22ece%22%7C%22eecs%22%29&t=a&o=&pp=250 if you look at the stats of one of these acceptances added today, you will see that GPA = 3.25. I have never seen / heard / imagined someone being accepted by MIT EECS with this GPA. And I think I will sever see / hear / imagine. Think about it. If you were accepted with such a GPA, would you not add some comments at least? Maybe something like "ohh, my GPA is low, but I have 2 pubs, 3 REUs, blah blah blah". Do NOT be so naive. There is always one person somewhere who enjoys making people feel miserable and hopeless. Do NOT believe in everything you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhmtmtl Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) And what about the entry with "Accepted via Postal Service"? Please check the previous years. I looked through the previous 3 years and there is no such a thing as accepting someone via PS. If you look carefully, you will see that only the people who were waitlisted received something from MIT (either waitlist notification or acceptance from waitlist) via PS. This brings me to the following conclusion: this "one" person (yeah, all these entries are submitted by one person I believe) is stupid.

mitindian Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 those entries are fake and am sure of that. But the entries on 7th feb are valid ones. I guess ppl who didnt get e-mails after that are rejects. I called the office and they sorta ducked that question :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGradStudentHasNoName Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 We will most likely all get the rejections via the website at the same time. But I understand your frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickspoon Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 We will most likely all get the rejections via the website at the same time. But I understand your frustration. Oh indeed, I expect so. I just think that even MIT should, if they say they're going to post results on the 15th, post results on the 15th. I would like to get on with my life, and my other applications, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGradStudentHasNoName Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I agree. But I only heard Feb 15th quoted by someone on this website. From previous years I don't see rejections from the website until Feb 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwicker Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Are there any other decent schools which we can still make the applications now? Else, got to wait till the next admission cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awe Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 From the previous years it looks like they send out a few (very few) acceptances after the initial e-mails (which usually come the Thursday and Friday after the 'roundup'), and two weeks after that, the rejections get posted. So my guess would be next Friday for the mass rejection postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitindian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 did anybody read the latest poster in MIT results? The person says he called MIT and the results would be out next week and says that the college claimed the applications are still being reviewed and only few lucky persons got the admit. And the results maybe delayed till march 1. We just can't believe what is going on. Whether to hope or prepare for defeat or to move on itself is a big dilemma here :-( :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
