Nat_Foot Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 @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. gughok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o m g Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I don't know if he is the DGS, but I am interested in his work if that counts for anything...I would guess they're calling more people by the lack of posts though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgswaim Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. swilke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incregible Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. personagrata and Naruto 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacbarcan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Congratulations. That's amazing. Definitely go celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gughok Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) 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!

lisamadura Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
