eigenvector11 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 MIT Civil Engineering 2013 Applicants Decisions supposed to be out before March 1st
nikosxilouris Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) Hi. I've applied for an MS with possible fields of interest either in Transportation or Structures. Good luck to everybody Edited February 27, 2013 by nikosxilouris
eigenvector11 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 When you say Transportation. Do you mean you applied to the MST Program or SM with Transportation/Structures interest?
nikosxilouris Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 SM with Transportation / Structures interest. Haven't received anything yet....
TOApplicant Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I have seen some admits last week and it has been silent since then, I assume there will be more admits. Now since we know that the decisions will be made by march 1 does this mean that if we don't hear anything until this Friday then we are rejected?
eigenvector11 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 I seriously think that admits have been sent out already... What is remaining is rejects for Friday. But I really hope this is not the case... I know for sure that MIT never releases rejects and admits on the same day. The admits get to know 1-2 weeks before and then all the rejects here later. So i hope March 1st is an admit day not a reject day.. If that made any sense. Anybody here specifically applying to the MST Program?

It seems last year people heard back different times (days even weeks between admissions) moreover the admits started late February and continued until the second half of March. Also it seems there are very few results which came the same day on the results page compared to last years. I don't know maybe I just want to find a reason to wait. I applied for transportation (PhD) btw. Edited February 27, 2013 by TOApplicant
eigenvector11 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 I really hope that you are right TOApplicant. It would be great to hear from people who got accepted...
TOApplicant Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I really hope that you are right TOApplicant. It would be great to hear from people who got accepted... Yeah, best of luck to you too. Btw I have seen a rejection on the results page.

So i hope March 1st is an admit day not a reject day.. If that made any sense. Anybody here specifically applying to the MST Program? I think your assessment is probably right. I've heard that the majority of places admit in waves, so the people who are definitely in will get accepted first, then there's some discussion about the remaining pool of applicants while they wait to see who gets external fellowships and whatnot. I'm also fearing that 3/1 will be "reject day." I didn't have really high hopes in the first place, but this waiting is killing me because MIT is my dream program*. I just want to get the rejection pain over with and move on with my life! There's a Civil thread on the Engineering board where somebody posted that they got a scanned MIT acceptance letter circa 2/20/13. They were in Mechanics of Materials and Structures. That's the only thing I've seen outside of the results page. * mine and everybody else's in the world, I know!

Different branches give acceptances on different days, there is also the waitlist process. Moreover they don't really wait weeks to send a rejection email, it is usually one day after they gave the final acceptances, afterall waiting for weeks to send a confirmed rejection letter does not make sense. Again I have only seen some admits on 20th of February and silence since then. 3/1 may be a rejection day but they might give some acceptances till Friday. BTW it seems they started giving out rejections...
TOApplicant Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Just got my rejection. May I ask which branch and whether it is masters or PhD ?
wabisabi Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone else heard any result ? No, and I'm totally losing it!
Ireney Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I applid to the MENG-high performance structures program, and was expecting some result since last week... Surprisingly received admission from Standford and UCB on Monday and Tuesday for my MS-structural...So I am much more relaxed even though still no response from MIT..ughh
StructuralEngr88 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 It's going to be a sad day tomorrow Congrats Ireney...Stanford and UCB are great schools!! too bad i am still waiting from them =(
imisscollege Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I heard back from the MST program (accepted) on Feb 20th.... Stats: Undergrad gpa- 3.7 GRE- V:166, Q: 161, W: 5.0 No research experience, but 3 strong LoRs and SOP I'm on a waitlist for an Research Assistant position. Hopefully will hear back about that before the deadline, as Maryland Civil Engineering has offered a full package.... Edited February 28, 2013 by imisscollege
CE2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 This is so stressful! I applied for environmental (PhD), and I don't think I've seen any acceptances for this emphasis on the results board. Please reply if you have though! As time goes on I'm afraid it will be mass rejections tomorrow...

Please reply if you have though! As time goes on I'm afraid it will be mass rejections tomorrow... I applied with an environmental focus and just got my rejection this morning. I posted in the results board, looks like someone else did too.
eigenvector11 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 @IMissCollege do you have any work experience? What is your bachelors degree?
imisscollege Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 @IMissCollege do you have any work experience? What is your bachelors degree? I've been out for 3.5 years working in software consulting as a business analyst. My degree is in Industrial Engineering.
TOApplicant Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I applied with an environmental focus and just got my rejection this morning. I posted in the results board, looks like someone else did too. I am sorry to hear this. But I want to say you already have admits from great schools like CMU so you shouldn't be worrying about anything at all. I on the other hand still heard absolutely nothing...
CE2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I was going to say the same thing as TOApplicant. Wabisabi, you have some great choices! I've only heard back from 1 but with no info on funding. Still waiting on MIT though but it's not looking very promising.
TOApplicant Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Ok, haven't received anything yet nor there is any info on the application website. This is seriously depressing and I think I won't be hearing from them today since it is close to 6PM Eastern time. On one hand there are only rejections on the other why would they leave it until the last moment (March 1) if it is a confirmed rejection, it shouldn't be hard to send all confirmed rejections in tow days. I couldn't sleep well for the last two days (a few hours of sleep, headaches etc...) and probably I won't be sleeping today. I hope to see someone with a positive result ...
