[jphall]

Hopefully Andy can provide some insight

Or we can all wait till the online chat.

From what I've seen on the forum our chances don't look that great though..

 

[Terrytd]

yeah.....fml

 

[Andy Nguyen]

At least you don't get rejected outright
It depends on their yield rate (how many people will accept the offer). Just keep track of the Tracker and see how many people with admit will select Yes in the Will Join column.
In years past, they even have to offer scholarship for people to defer enrollment until next year because the program is oversubscribed. It's not clear they will have same problem this year.

I am posting this thread to get to know those admitted, and how will be class mates during the following year.
My name is Francisco, and I am from Argentina. (yes, like the Pope)

Who is attending the april Admit Reception at Cambridge?

 

[French]

Congrats

thanks

 

[californication]

Hi Francisco...Sameer here from India unlike the pope ..i think im not attending the session...mostly be joining in july directly

 

[Terrytd]

any idea whats usually the acceptance rate after WL? im assuming < 10%?

 

[jphall]

believe last year was oversubscribed.. so probably 0%.

Hopefully (and note: being very optimistic here) they admitted fewer so as not to oversubscribe, and in turn us waitlisters will have a better shot.

Just wishful thinking over here

 

[Terrytd]

from what i've heard, there were a couple 5-6 that are in the program now that were waitlisted. from what i've seen on forums, it seems the number of WL> REJ+ADMIT or close to it...

 

[Juan Pablo]

I am from Mexico and will not be able to attend the session.

 

[kevinxu]

I'm not admitted. Could you please share your profiles a little bit (undergrad, work experience, GMAT,anything..)? Just wanna have a rough understanding of MIT standards. Thank you guys in advance.

 

[French]

Hi Sameer and Juan Pablo. I'm also not attending the session, to little time in advance to plan it.
Kevin, my tracker is updated with all my relevant data. Any question send me a private message.

 

[Terrytd]

Was everyones WL letter signed by Rod Garcia? Just wondering if I was to send an email. Should I address it to him? my interviewer? or who?

 

[PNike]

Congratulations to those who got in and for those who didn't, its not the end of the world! Don't give up!

sounds impressive... now I see why I was Wled =]

 

[Terrytd]

whens the deadline to reply MIT?

 

[KTc]

So... what happens to the waitlisted applicants? I'm still waitlisted from round I and the deadline for accepting another school's offer is coming up in less than a month.

And now, for the most ridiculous question from the online waitlist chat for your entertainment:

I wonder if it is possible that an admitted student who personally want to give up a place recommend some waitlisted applicant. Will you re-consider the recommended applicant's profile and chance of admission under this circumstance? Thanks!!

Nothing like good ol' bribery.
