mitindian Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) yes,you? Edited February 25, 2013 by mitindian
mitindian Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 friends,call the graduate office and ask for admission status. They'll ask your last name. They ll immediately say whether you are rejected or not. Mostly if you didn't get any mail,you're rejected. The results are out
warwicker Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 But is not reflected on the web yet? Have seen some posts saying that they were rejected on web. Have you seen you web status been updated?
mitindian Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 a reject is a reject whatever,friend. I am so depressed after the result. After their requisition for furnishing missing documents,i sure thought i would get in :-( my web status is not updated.
warwicker Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Seems like the remaining chance is real slim. I have applied to other grad schools as well. have you heard from any other than MIT?
orly85 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Sent my husband an e-mail to call the admission hotline. We both assume it is a rejection. Too bad. He really liked taking courses at MIT- half of his Masters classes have been taken at MIT, thanks to Harvard's cohort program. He had a LoR from a MIT professor. Overall, glad for the great experiences he did have there, fulfilling his boyhood dream. Now a new dream begins!!! Best of luck to everyone! It has been nice being on the same team and having an outlet for our frustrations. You were made to be AWESOME! UPDATE: Yup, rejected! Two more schools to hear from before we get off this crazy train. Edited February 25, 2013 by orly85
mitindian Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 True that. I too wish all the people here good luck in future endeavours !
ak48 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I should call for my mental health, but I'm too scared haha. Maybe I'll muster up some courage later.
ak48 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Negatory, as feared. Thanks to all for sharing the waiting period with me, hope we'll all have success despite this minor setback.
warwicker Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Trying to hang on till I see the official results on web.
tapdncingchemist Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Trying to hang on till I see the official results on web. Same here, even though I'm pretty sure it's a no.
warwicker Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 U never know. Persevere! And never loss faith until you see it in black and white.
mitindian Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 U never know. Persevere! And never loss faith until you see it in black and white. why so buddy? You think admit status will change?
ak48 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 One thing I realized today was how "unsecure" the phone system was! I could have called under any male-sounding name and gotten the admissions decision. They didn't check my phone number to my application, because I got a new number in between.
warbrain Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I guess this is over, but did most people get an e-mail after they called for their status?
mitindian Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 no. Nobody got any mail as far as i know .did you?
orly85 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 My husband got a unoffical e-mail today saying he had been rejected. They said that there has been a delay this year and basically wanted him to not hesitate to pursue other interests.
nickspoon Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I've heard nothing. I sent an email to the admissions office yesterday to ask for my results (calling them from my mobile would be outrageously expensive) but nothing back. It's quite trying really.
bombadil Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Did anyone else see this on the survey page? Called the office for status, my first admission, I can not believe it! With iBT 115, 6 impacting journal papers, 4 international conference papers, 3 years RA and 1 year TA exp. Rejected by CMU SCS and Princeton CS, a lot of schools in pending. Good luck to everyone. What????
JimmyK4542 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I stubbornly refuse to call them. The application fees they collect should at least cover the cost of a one-liner mass rejection email, even if it just says something like "MIT EECS: Rejected, kthxbye."
sadfsdfsf Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I don't think the do a mass email, if I remember* correctly they only update the website and expect you see it that way.

For $75 I expect a goddamn singing telegram. Edited February 28, 2013 by nickspoon
sadfsdfsf Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Its quite a bit of money for MIT, assuming they have 3000 applicants which totals $225,000.
