Had to send them an inquiry regarding my status

Had to email them to inquire, very annoying. Kinda knew but was hoping for a miracle. Oh well, at least 50% of my incentives was the full scholarship so I guess I deserved that.

Letter said that 600 people applied (a record) and they took less than 40.

graduated from top schools, holder of a few undergrad degrees, excellent grades, perfect & relevant work experience and the groups I applied for said the online portfolio was the most important factor. Jerks couldn't even be bothered with accessing my site not even once (& yes, I monitor ALL traffic my site generates)

for $80 they could have taken 5 minutes from their corporate sponsored, drone-propelled, Wall street recycled mindset and earned the fee that was paid to their overstuffed pockets. I vow to take my work (and particularlly my outstanding website) to the highest places and ears on the globe. Best of luck to everyone!

I didn't really care to post here because it's already over... and I was just using this site to get an idea of when I can expect decisions. But enough is enough, there is a trend here... I had a very similar experience to below posters. LLK was also one of the groups I aimed for, but the main group I aimed for decided not to take any new students and let me know in mid-March, not responding to e-mails for two months prior. I didn't even get a fair chance at showing more interest to my other two groups. Communication was nonexistent, and they didn't have the respect to let me know of the decision ASAP... I live in Boston and the snail mail rejection arrived six days after it was printed... it's been a nightmare, and a long one at that. Good luck to everyone.

to the poster below me, which group decided not to accept anymore students? (& yet still advertised themselves as open prior to the app deadline)

No email, unclear what I should do next. This was the only program I could apply for because of funding...

They really jerked me (and it looks like a lot of people) around. First they abolished CMS (my first pick) AFTER i applied. Then they drew out this notification system for no reason at all. Lifelong Kindergarten was what i aimed for, as well as camera and computing culture. I had perfect grades in separate degrees in media and engineering (signal processing), and i was even using their SCRATCH program in a little different way to set up media training centers for impoverished kids around the world. Even if i got rejected they could have had the decency to be much more communicative through the whole process.

I can barely begin to express my disappointment with this program. I interviewed at my preferred lab (this involved 7 hours of scheduled meetings/interviews), and the PI told me to e-mail him with any additional questions in the next couple of weeks. A few days later, I e-mailed him with some supplementary materials and a couple of questions, and he NEVER responded, even after I sent another follow-up e-mail. This program has very little respect for its applicants and students; it seems to focus primarily on pumping out flashy inventions/toys, instead of teaching its students in a supportive research environment.

will receive postal mail soon.

Hooray!!

Am I awake?

To the poster below for MIT Media Art and Science which group had u applied to and do you know if all the groups have given admits?
