Graduate School Admission Results

The decision was hard to accept, since I know my profile is strong. I have appealed, quoting multiple recent achievements but that hardly helps. Fingers Crossed.

I am very sorry to inform you that we are unable to admit you into our graduate program for 2020. We have received many excellent applications from outstanding students such as yourself. Unfortunately, we have limited openings and the number of applications exceeds these openings quite significantly. Undoubtedly you have other opportunities to continue your education. We do wish you much success as you pursue your academic and research goals. With best wishes to you, sincerely, Professor Leslie A. Kolodziejski Graduate Officer Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science MIT LAK/kdm

Now that the PhD results are out, does anyone know when to expect Masters acceptances/rejections? Last year the acceptances were sent out around Feb 22nd, but I havent seen anything about emails going out.

TTPB: Have 3 1st author SCI journals and 12 1st authors conference papers (1 flagship top conference in my field where people die to publish) Masters from top university (out side USA) last year. I know my field very well and had more than 60 video lectures in YouTube with millions of views. Yes I am verifiable, knowledgable, and proven researcher but it is MIT, where networking and nepotism are at its best. My recommenders gave me super strong letters but since MIT profs are crooked, do they actually value a strong recommender who they do not know? The answer is no- I think. But I have been accepted in another top school, so it does not matter. But unfortunately networking, and many Iranian and Chinese MIT POIs prefer to accept someone with degree from their own country's universities. Seriously? Racism is at its best in academia.

TTPB: The professor sent me an email said I would receive the offer in the future weeks. After 2 weeks I got the email said there is a significant decision in the uApply. The research field is model driven engineering.

Standard rejection mail. Are they even accepting international students now?

Got an interview invitation from a professor which is not my POI. So I declined, saying that I have decided to go to other school.

I applied on January 2...

Whoohoo! Accepted, but no word on funding yet.

To the two posters below, in regards to my interview: I interviewed on 2/16 in the afternoon group.

Spoke with POI back in August. Excited, Boulder is beautiful!
