<p>Does MIT accept anyone, for anything whatsoever? I swear that place admits ghosts, because no real, in the flesh applicants seem to be getting in...</p>
<p>Well I have met quite a few MIT engineering Phd students - but they are undoubtedly a rare and ghostly breed.</p>
<p>Is anyone applying to Biomedical Engineering? Specifically schools ranked about #20-50 (i.e. not Johns Hopkins, UCSD)?</p>
<p>yes, MIT accepts and no, i am not a ghost.</p>

<p>note: i am convinced my main research boss wrote a not-so-great letter... he was always unfriendly and nobody likes him. i was his only researcher :-/</p>
<p>ct,</p>
<p>I wouldnt worry too much. I don't know your program too well, but it looks like you have only been rejected by the top schools on your list. I'm sure someone in there will hook you up.</p>

<p>Pittsburgh - rejected
UMass - accepted
Boston University - waiting
Boston College - waiting
Tufts University - waiting
Georgetown - waiting
Temple - waiting (deadline not until 3/15)</p>
<p>phpguru,</p>
<p>stanford sent out all offers(admission with funding) and Ads (admission without funding) already and rejection will come soon.</p>
<p>Those applicants who got fellowship awarded were noticed in Mid-Feb. From end of Feb quite a lot of Ads were sent out.</p>
<p>I was accepted but without funding.</p>
<p>I was told by one senior at stanford that Ads without funding have low chance to be offered funding for the first year. Students need to self-support for the first year and prove to prof he is good enough to get funded from second year</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>I will give up Stanford because there is no funding provided</p>
<p>CT </p>
<p>You r in US or somewhere else?</p>
<p>yea, i'm in the usa.</p>
<p>So I've seen very few other chemistry applicants post here, but on the off chance that any of you are out there, maybe this will start a string of others posting...</p>
<p>I applied for organic chemistry, and I'm an undergrad at UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I find it very disappointing that Stanford does not provide funding for all the accepted grad students. What is the point of accepting people who cannot afford to go there? In the email I got, they wrote that most funding decisions will be made in March/ by April 15. So, I am going to wait and see. I am not too excited about Stanford, but this is just ridiculous!
p.s. got accepted to Brown EE for MS/PhD.</p>
<p>Hello Bulthad

<p>They get people who are willing to pay to attend, which helps fund the people they give funding to.</p>

<p>Well, at least it's better than outright rejecting those people. You admit people, but without aid, and then let them decide if they want Stanford badly enough to take it without funding. It's better than not even having that choice. </p>
<p>Personally, I find it rather sad and ridiciulous that a school will reject somebody that they would otherwise admit just because they don't have available funding to give, even if that person is willing to pay for himself.</p>
