Graduate School Admission Results

UG class ranking: 2. Masters GPA: 4.0/4.0 (class ranking:1). 1 journal paper in review, 1 international conference paper. E-mail correspondence with a "direct fit" professor. Seems like they only encourage you to apply so that number of applications they receive will increase. Also, did not receive even a single official e-mail during the entire application process: seems like they do not care as much as we do.

GPA 4.0, Purdue Undergrad, 1 year of work ex, 3 papers on Distributed Computing, MIT REJECT. The best part is they did not even wait list me. Thanks for that. Anyways never wanted to do a Phd, I only wanted to do a masters degree in CS. Little disappointed,... but i will be okay in a few days.

Booyah!

Recently talked to the co-director of the grad program over the phone and was told that even though my qualifications are strong, my background (economics) and research interests (mechanism design) don't fit to the program. I have to admit they're right, I'm very peripheral to them. But I thought it was worth a try.

[Quote]OK.......here we go..........first Berkeley, then Stanford, now MIT.........Rejections also in the order of US News rankings ????? so CMU next, UIUC then and UT after that?[/Quote] My rejections came in another order: first Stanford, then Princeton, next Berkeley, now MIT...... Let's see what come next together......Heart breaking......

This is a stupid, evil website that only made the last month and a half worse.

Not too surprised, but still sucks. Good luck everybody else.

rejected: MIT, stanford. accepted: indiana, texas.

Accepted to Princeton, but not even wait-listed at MIT. Strange.
