ACCEPTED TO MIT

Congratulations! How long did the call take? Did they give details or was it just "hey MIT wants you yeah that's right come to Boston right now"?

@o m g Is Rayo a POI, or is he the DGS? (Sorry, I can't find who the DGS is from MIT's website.) Just wondering because I saw that a few years ago, POI's called accepted students. And it does seem like max 2 people from grad cafe got calls (or, they just haven't posted them yet). Just trying to keep hope for everyone waiting on MIT.

Please, Nat, preserve hope. A presumed rejection would really dull the satisfaction of my earlier admission.

I replied to my wait list notification at Saint Louis, and in the reply email it was mentioned that they've "admitted 5" as of now. Whether those 5 have been notified as of yet I don't know. It seems, though, that all decisions have been made.

Well if they have been notified, none of them are on Grad Cafe... I wish there was somewhere I could check my status

Hiya friends with whom I've not yet spoken,

I got a call from Alex Byrne (my main POI) about 45 minutes ago. :) I'm the person who said I'd been rejected from Brown and Harvard, but I hadn't reported those to tgc. I was feeling super down about an hour ago, and that all changed really fast. I'm feeling very fortunate right now. 

Best,

Reg.

I've said this before as a personal commitment; now I will make it a request: if you get a call offering admission, I humbly ask that you find a moment to enquire of the person on the line whether acceptances are still going out. This information would, I hope, not be difficult to get, but it would be incredibly appreciated by those of us who are waiting anxiously.

Congratulations @Incregible!

Thank you!! I'm so happy you've been doing well too! :) And I'm really surprised and humbled at how things have gone for me, with so many intelligent, motivated, and hard-working people applying.

I went Fordham's online portal to formally decline their offer and I noticed that, had I decided to accept, I would be required to pay a $330 admissions deposit by April 15. Is this the case for all programs? That's a fat chunk of cash to shell out unexpectedly. If this process wasn't costly enough :(
