madmax Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I have one small question. I noticed everyone posting here have joined the forum in the past couple of days or so. Did you all get here just by googling for stuff like mit+ admissions +acceptance +results, etc. etc.? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you all get here just by googling for stuff like mit+ admissions +acceptance +results, etc. etc.? Just curious. not quite. Last month I found the results page. And two days ago I found the forum. One advice, please. Should I call the office today to end this ordeal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I call the office today to end this ordeal? It probably wont hurt. But I'm sure they'll just say something like "we'll send notifications to everyone by so and so date", etc. how do i know? because I tried it yesterday 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp_jw Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Madmax, out of curiosity, what was the "so and so date" that they told you? (I am assuming that you called MIT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmax Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Madmax, out of curiosity, what was the "so and so date" that they told you? (I am assuming that you called MIT) sorry about that... in a couple of weeks. Essentially equivalent to whats written on the website as "late february" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durlov Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 actually, when i talked to the eecs office, they told me we would know results by the end of feb. and then when i talked to the professor i want to study under, he told me decisions are made centrally by the admissions committee, and check with the office in 2 weeks. that was mid feb. so it may just be that the torment won't end until feb 28. 2007's not a leap year. and of course, don't forget that the visits are mar 2-3. so...

If we do get in, I think the torment should most likely end today or at least in the very near future. damn, I need to go do something productive. we are all soooo nervous, arent we?

exp_jw Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well, as somebody said earlier, today is probably the day that most of the acceptances go out. With next Wednesday being the official date to RSVP by, and Monday being a holiday, we will most likely know our fate by close of business today. 5.5 hours and counting.... (or 6.5 if they work late on a Friday - unlikely). Also, I can see how it might be beneficial for them to send out the admissions decisions on a Friday evening; then they can avoid the inevitable flurry of questions (at least until next Tuesday) that is likely to follow the mailing of the results. One way or another, in 5.5 hours, a beer is going to sound real good... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josefine Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 nothing here. it would have been good to have an online "check status". rejections are by postal mail or email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeGoesOn Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 By now I think all MIT admissions are gone out. Congratulations to those accepted. Congratulations also to the guy accepted to CMU/Robotics. Now a good hot bath, and.. life goes on. Anyway, now that my PhD possibilities for next fall are over, it could be a good occasion to rethink my life plan: actually, a PhD is the "easy way" out of school. A real job, volunteering? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amine Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well, according to the theory that says that today is the last day of admission notifications and since it's now 4:40 PM, then I am afraid that LifeGoesOn is wright :cry: . However if the theory is wrong then ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
