Did anyone apply to the MIT CSE program?

[Drag112]

Hey Guys! 

I have been waiting to hear back from MIT for its PhD program in Computational Science & Engineering, and I have not found much information of Grad Cafe--which can makes me believe not many people applied for this program. Which could be a good thing or a bad thing. 

Could you comment if you applied to this program, say which is your host department, and whether or not you have heard anything? 

Thanks!

I applied for it. It's my understanding that it is like pre-declaring your minor and that your application is evaluated by what ever department you selected just as if you had applied to that department normally.

I thought you had to be jointly accepted by the host department and the center for computational engineering.
