TTPB: If you haven't received an acceptance yet, you didn't get in. The acceptances were sent out in January. You'll probably receive an email in late February / early March to log-in to the application portal for admission decision (which will be a reject if you haven't heard anything by now).

Area: CV; Notified by POI and got an email to check portal

Sadge :{ "Thank you for your application to the graduate program in Media Arts and Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for Fall 2021. We regret that we are not able to offer you admission. We received more than 1100 applications and were able to admit less than 5%. In selecting so few from a large and talented group, we must turn down many qualified applicants. We wish you the best for your future plans. Program in Media Arts and Sciences"

Did anybody hear from Media Lab yet?

Anyone have any new from their POIs? I hate this waiting game

TTPB: did you have an interview before notice of admission?

For posters below asking about CS masters. I was admitted to ML track with an interest in unsupervised learning. Excellent grades at a Canadian University and some research experience but no published papers. The funding scares me so I am unlikely to accept the offer.

Received unofficial email from POI 2/18 Area: ML/AI

Received unofficial email from POI 2/16, followed by official email 2/17. Area: ML/AI

Replying to the Brown question: I applied for AI/Graphics, so profs in the visual computing area

I'm the American who got an interview on February 12th, more on my background there. AI/ML + NLP interest, I had contact with an NLP prof. Had my interview yesterday(!) with the prof and he said he'd already recommended me for admission. TerpEngage still says under review. Received the email at 10:10 EST.

Congrats to the posters below who were accepted. What areas were you accepted for?

Anyone knows when MIT is sending out their PhD application decisions? I really can't wait any longer lol

TTPB: The one who got into the DGP Lab, do you mind to share the last name of your potential supervisor? Does anyone else get offer from the DGP group?

Someone asked for an admitted student to post their stats, so I thought I'd post mine. Reading through who has been rejected, I am amazed I got in. I feel very lucky, and I hope that you all get good offers from other schools :) I go to a very non-prestigious or selective (but still nice!) state school and my undergrad is in computer science. I have a 3.877 GPA, have been doing research in AI/ML for two years with an awesome professor, and am co-authored on three publications in social network modeling, one of which was also accepted at a AAAI conference. I also work as a grader for my uni's AI course (both this semester and last). I do have some unique aspects to my personal history that might've helped my application as well; I started college when I was 16 and have a lot of artistic pursuits on my resume. Two of my rec letters were from CS faculty at my school, and the third was from a creative writing instructor I am very close to. Best of luck to everyone this season! Oh, and I didn't take the GRE! Actually, I wasn't going to apply to grad school in CS until they decided to waive the GRE--I took the ACT five times in high school because I'm neurotic, and quite honestly, I can't make myself go through standardized testing again.

Unofficial offer from PI on Feb 11th, official offer by email on Feb 19th

Well, at least y'all have been interviewed. The only sign I have had from Harvard was a couple of searches for my social media profile a few weeks back, followed by an uncanny silence!

Unofficial admit by PI on the 11th, heard back officially the 19th.
