ShortLong Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Supposedly one of the guys that visited Georgia Tech with me said he had already been admitted to MIT. But I heard this through another prospective, so it is possible he was accepted to Mechanical and not aerospace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam_sister Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nothing, but I've seen a PhD acceptance go up today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankit.shah Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hey guys Just got my accept mail. I had applied to Masters as an initial degree and PhD as the final objective. So have put up the admit as masters in the survey. The mail was CCed to 2 of my potential advisors whom I will have to contact in near future. No commitment on funding was given. Apart from that there was a lot of info on accepting and other formalities All the very best to you guys and hope you guys get your accepts soon :-) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam_sister Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Wow Ankit.Shah congratulations! Could you post your stats please? That is really fantastic news! Who are your potential supervisors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnipenny Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 antik.shah, what's your research interest? Do you plan to withdraw Stanford? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk.aero Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hey, one rejection was reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uvaes Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Does it mean there is no chance to get accepted any more? good luck to those who haven't received anything yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnipenny Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Does it mean there is no chance to get accepted any more? good luck to those who haven't received anything yet! Another rejection posted, commenting: all the admits were went.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssingh Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Another rejection posted, commenting: all the admits were went.. To be fair, how would the guy know if all admits are sent already? I doubt they would say that in the email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankit.shah Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey guys My primary area of interest is aircraft control and dynamics. And the potential advisors are Prof Steve Hall and Prof Jon How, both members of the Aircraft Control Labs so that would be great for me. My brief profile is as follows: Undergrad: Top institution in India GPA: 9.82/10.0 GRE (V/Q/W): 166/169/4.0 Ranked 1st in the department Had research experience for all 4 years mostly at my home institute so I guess all the recos were strong I still havent received any funding information from either Stanford or MIT. If Stanford declines funding then the decision might become a lot easier . If not then its really tough and I will have to think it through As for the rejects I am not fully convinced. From previous years, usually wait list results go out before the rejects and thats much later in Feb (27/28). So i guess we havent heard the last of that. Good luck to all of you for your decisions. I hope you get them early whatever they are as it really helps the anxiety. Had I not got the mail yesterday the next few days would have been terrible for me pablofc1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnipenny Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 @ankit.shah You don't need worry about the funding from MIT. It;s a mini phd offer for MIT admitted students; almost everyone gets fundings. (MIT's rich. ) You can double check with your advisor. But I'm pretty sure that was the case for last year. My friend got admitted and attended visit day. That's what he told me. Congrats! I just realized we have the same POIs both for MIT and Stanford. But I haven't got any news from either of them. I guess my competitors are too strong, like you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam_sister Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I haven't heard anything... Why wouldn't I have received either an offer or a rejection? I'm confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zecone13 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well they haven't even released waitlists yet. I think they've done their individual student reviews and are going through them as a committee one day at a time now, so each day we will see a few accepts and then a lot more rejects for that day. At least I hope that's what it is... maybe I'm just blissfully ignorant about the whole process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ankit.shah Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 @jam_sister They usually dont send rejects upto 1st March as per last year and they haven't even sent out waitlists. So I guess better to just disregard the reject posts for now. Good luck to you and all the rest. @mnipenny Which other universities did you apply to for Controls and Dynamics?

jam_sister Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Still heard nothing from MIT today. Anybody applying to Caltech as well? When do they usually post their acceptances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnipenny Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) @ankit.shah Apart from those two, I also applied Umich. @jam_sister Someone posted in the result saying that she/he emailed Beth and was told that all the admits were sent. I guess it just took a while to send out all the rejections...so sad. Edited February 26, 2013 by mnipenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortLong Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I am still pessimistically hopeful, if that makes sense. But I am thinking that I am probably on the wait list. Oh well, I have a few good offers and I am only hoping for MIT for bragging rights, not so much research fit, you know what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zecone13 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Wait list at MIT is a sad place to be. 99% of people with offers will take them I fear, meaning the wait list might not matter. D'oh well, I'm happy with the other schools I applied to anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnipenny Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 @Zecone13, have you heard anything back from Stanford? They have been keeping silent since the end of Jan when they send out admissions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam_sister Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sigh. Another day of waiting ahead of me! @mnipenny, I have not heard anything more from Stanford either. Or GATech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnipenny Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 @jam_sister at least you've gotten your admission from Stanford -- they keep telling me my application is currently under review. I don't know what to do... Are you waiting for their funding decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam_sister Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Mnipenny- No, I don't think so. I might email them today,but when I got the offer they said nothing about funding and I have heard subsequent posters here who had their scholarship interviews. At least I have Georgia Tech with full fees and 26k a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam_sister Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Anybody see the post in the Results- it looks like somebody rang Beth and she said that it is UNTRUE that all accepts have been sent. This probably only affects me at this stage. Now I'm refreshing emails again every 5 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam_sister Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Sorry for the influx of posts, but I just got this: ---Thanks for your message. Our faculty are working to finalize all decisions this week, and we are on track to notify all applicants of those decisions on or by March 1, via email. Our visit day is March 15, for admitted students only. If you are admitted, more details will follow. Best, Beth Marois--- Didn't mention anything about admits being sent, or a waitlist.
