Has anyone received any interview invitation already? If so, please post it.

Someone pinch me!

TTPB from MIT: would you mind sharing the initials of the POI? thanks a lot and congratulations

TTPB: would you like to share the area?

I received an email from the EECS department head about the acceptance. Wow!

Anyone heard back from the program?

Different person, but also had an interview with a professor in the NLP group, but no email :(

Thanks man. Was your Prof. in the NLP group? I had an interview last week but no email. :(

Received email from professor I had been in contact with letting me know I had not been accepted. Note that this does not preclude that others might be waitlisted.

Have been very upset already when I knew I was not invited to the interview, so pretty calm when I read this update from the application website. MIT is hard anyway. Formal rejection letter will be sent out by March 9.

Any ideas on how to prepare for the technical aspect of the interview?

Sort of expected. I had an interview on Jan 17. The POI said that another professor is retiring next year so he is taking his students but was interviewing me for the grad committee. They only have 2 people in reactor physics (1 of them is retiring). High grad and undergrad GPA, 8 journal publications in strong journals (3 first author), 7 conf papers and abstracts, h-index: 6, and several independent projects with nearly $700k in revenue.

This message on website: Feb. 3 update: Our admissions committee has extended interview invitations to everyone whom we anticipate interviewing, and we have now received confirmation of receipt from all of them. We will most likely admit from this pool of applicants, but are not sending out final admissions decisions to the rest of the applicants in case the committee decides to extend interview invitations to a few more applicants. We expect to email final notifications to those who were not interviewed by March 9.

It seems like MIT EECS, in previous years (not sure about F19), have often sent out acceptance emails in batches. Are they not doing that anymore? :( Also, did anyone get offers in computational biology (perhaps from profs. DG or MK)?

Applied to PSFC. What an enormous relief! Good luck to everyone, and I hope those rejected get accepted to their other top picks!

Assuming rejection. Checked the website and there was this notice from the department "Feb. 3 update: Our admissions committee has extended interview invitations to everyone whom we anticipate interviewing, and we have now received confirmation of receipt from all of them.
