MIT - Civil Engineering (Fall 2013)

[nikosxilouris]

Anybody else waiting for a reply from MIT for a Masters or PhD in Civil Engineering?

 

I am personally have applied for a Masters in Civil Engineering with specialization in Transportation.

 

I have already seen 1 person being accepted in the Results Section. Do you think more replies are around the corner?

 

 

Cheers

I'm still waiting, for MIT CE and all the results being posted are depressing. (I didn't have high hopes in the first place, but still.) There's also a thread in the Engineering discussion about civil results where someone posted about getting an acceptance.

 

I applied for a PhD with an environmental focus, so at least we're not exactly competing for a spot. I hope we hear soon, and good luck to you!

Thanks bro, good luck to you too! I read somewhere that 95% of the students in research based degrees in the civil engineering department at MIT are in some way funded, either by RA/TA or fellowships. Do you know if that's accurate?

 

Unfortunately if I dont receive any funding i wont be able to go to MIT.

Are there any one who get any feedback from Harvard Environmental Science and Engineering ?  

I am wondering that did all the admission decisions already made for Fall 2013 phD?

 

Since quite a long time passed, and I still do not hear any feedback.

I am waiting the decision nervously. Could anyone please tell me which kind of the process, website, phone, email, or postal service, that the applicants will be notified?

I saw somewhere that the Harvard SEAS visiting day is 2/28, and since it's 2/24 and I haven't heard anything I assume that means that I'm not in the running. 

 

I found this information on the website of a Harvard professor who's takes students from both SEAS and EPS: 

"The application folders get to the faculty by mid-January (I don't see them before then!). Decisions on admissions are made in early February and applicants are contacted immediately after the decision."

 

It looks like the people who have posted on the results page that they've been accepted have received notice via email, and everybody who was rejected last year seems to have received actual letters in the mail in late March.

I'm pretty sure that 95% figure comes from the NRC graduate school ranking data, so it would apply to PhD students. The MIT website actually seems to have pretty specific information about funding for your field: http://cee.mit.edu/graduate/mst/admissions

I have actually applied for an MS in Civil Engineering with a possible specialization in Transport. It is actually different than the MST program.

I noticed one guy who posted on the results page that he/she has been accepted vis postal service on Feb 21, 2011.

And this year "only one" guy posted on the results page that he/she accepted via Email one Jan 22.

Is the professor you mentioned Anderson? (he could take student from both SEAS and EPS)

 

Following is the response from SEAS--> Official letters will be mailed out from the Graduate School by end of February.

whoops! Okay, I have no idea what your funding will be like then.

Yeah, I only see one person from Env. Eng. I was including all the SEAS folks in my assessment of results notification method, since it seems like they'd all be notified the same way.

 

The prof I mentioned was Daniel Jacob.

I hope that we still have chance to be enrolled in Harvard!!
