Graduate School Admission Results

Got email saying to check the website

Current Master's student - excited to have the opportunity to stay for PhD!

No surprise here, but was hoping for one.

:(

Not as collapsed as I expected. Still, very much hurt. I even printed out its curriculum and started to read the required books.

(this is the same person as below) I talked over Skype with a few of the grad students in my lab of interest. Apparently, the admissions timing may be different this year, but they're not sure how.

I had a Skype interview with a professor that I had expressed interest in.

I've been noticing a lot of people being jerked around by Media Lab admissions. The process needs an update and _now_. For instance, I've been on a waitlist for months because a prof decided he couldn't make up his mind in March. The Tech (MIT's student newspaper) is thinking of writing an op ed, but we need your help. Email mlfml@mit.edu if you are willing to contribute. Please make your voice heard.

This program may dazzle people but it is not worth the effort. The profs decide that they are not accepting students after the applicants submit their application. There is no status page to tell you the status of your application, test scores, and transcripts. The admission process takes ages and there is no clear date around which you can expect the results. So, it's a useless and disappointing wait anyhow. And they won't even tell you whether you got in or not. if you've been rejected - they are too lazy to email you. You may or may not receive a letter by postal mail. Clearly they don't do enough given the resources at their disposal

Wow -- got moved from the waitlist... I'm in a bit of shock
