Graduate School Admission Results

his year, the MIT master's degree program in Computation for Design and Optimization (CDO) received applications from a number of qualified candidates, and the admissions process was extremely competitive. ...

It was a long shot, but I kinda wanted it.

Rejection by Email. I went to visit them in November, they said that they are taking very few people this year (~10). I probably didn't do enough research in this area. I am wondering what the profiles of the people who get in are like.

I know 3 friends of mine also got this offer.

no funding so far

This year, the MIT S.M. Program in Computation for Design and Optimization (CDO) received a large number of applications from outstanding candidates. We are in the unfortunate situation of having many more qualified applicants than we have spaces for in our program. Therefore, although your credentials are strong, we regret that we are unable to offer you admission to the S.M. Program in Computation for Design and Optimization for Fall 2008.

Emailed admission assistant for status. Was told that admitted students have been invited for a visit, and its unlikely many more offers would be made. So assumed reject :\

Has anyone heard back about the CDO program?

Has any received an acceptance or rejection???

To the poster below, I haven't received anything yet. If the one who emailed the admission assistant was saying true, we are very likely to be rejected. I am also wondering why none of this year's admitted students came to post their results…

I have emailed the admission assistant to inquire about the status. It would be great if someone from the US can do the same too. I am not aware of anyone who has heard from the program so far.

To the poster below, have you got any response? What did you get?

I emailed the program assistant last Friday, but I haven't received her reply yet.

Same International student who posted on 2nd March. I emailed them on 26th, no reply yet. Either they are admitting very few students this year, or admitted students aren't willing to post their acceptance here.
