Graduate School Admission Results

I was the one who got accepted EECS, I did not get a formal offer from the department yet but the prof I worked with said they would accept me for their lab. Good luck to all the other applicants

TTPB: Congrats for the interview! Would you mind share your research domain? Thanks

Please use this forum thread if you got accepted https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/126885-2021-fall-mit-eecs-phd-applicants/

TTPB, Congratulations! Can you tell me if you got the acceptance email from the supervisor or officially from department ?

MIT undergrad, did research with the prof. Area: ML

TTPB: Congrats on your admit! Here's the link: shorturl.at/gBVY2

Rejected after being waitlisted lol

Rejected -> Accepted

Had Ms from CMU.

I am probably overqulified for them

I have more than 10 publications at top tier conferences.

TTPB: Were you accepted after being waitlisted??

TTPB, you are right about internal contacts. I know people from my country not US, getting straight PhD admits with 0 papers at top schools. The person's recommendations are from three profs two of them PhD from MIT and 1 from Stanford. And he got into only Stanford and MIT in top 4 and not into Cornell Berkeley and CMU. Sometimes you can only do so much. He applied to only 5 schools.

ALL Weak letters. 5 workshop papers, all 5th author. 7 posters which were never presented. Very high GPA, but no research impact. SOP stating my name and the list of people I have contacts with within thee field. Emailed POIs with people with internal contacts.

Very excited!!!!

If you are waiting for MIT and don't get an email, they put it on the website where you submitted your application. I did not get an email or other notification.
