<p>Ok this is news to me... I was told that emailing a professor and letting them how much you are interested and mentioning your areas of interest/skills is a good practice in the US... I'm an international student and I was encouraged to do this by my friends (in the US) and colleagues.. I hope I've not created the wrong impression with the PIs. But I've had people telling me from within the Media Lab (not personally but in a forum) itself to be in touch in PIs once you've submitted the application. Don't know if that MediaLab specific since there's no admission committee as such.</p>
<p>I applied to the New Media Medicine group as my first choice, and as of today have heard nothing from them. I don't think I'm likely to get in, because my programming skills are very weak, but I'm hopeful nonetheless; I have a lot of other things to offer the group.</p>
<p>I noticed on gradcafe that a lot of people have received responses via "the website."</p>
<p>Anyone know where on the website to check for this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Ok according to a search on gradcafe, I think we wont know about the admissions till atleast mid march. But interview calls are being sent from 1st week of february.</p>
<p>mit</a> media* • thegradcafe.com</p>
<p>Damn!! No interview calls yet :(</p>
<p>Hey .. I have apped to Fluid Interfaces (Pattie) .. High Low Tech (Leah) and Object Based Media (Bove) ... I am not sure whther they conduct interview not heard from them, I am also in contact wit all the above PIs almost a year .... they had replied 'good and relevant backgrund' etc in mails ... I have no clue now whats happening ... anyone apped to above grps and got any calls ??????</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether interview is conducted in Bove, Small, Raskar group? my university score isn't that good and I am afraid my portfolio won't even be considered since it may be filtered out in the first round on checking school scores. to what level the portfolio will be?</p>
<p>i applied to maes, bove, and paradiso.</p>
<p>anybody heard anything from them, or if they're even doing interviews?</p>
<p>what are you guys' academic backgrounds? i majored in electrical engineering and film/digital media, and minored in chem and math.</p>
<p>also, anybody heard anything from holtzmann? i have a friend who applied to him and he hasn't heard anything yet.....</p>
<p>i really want to go here.</p>
<p>I didnt hear anything from Maes and Bove as yet :(
I hold double majors in Information Tech, and Textile Tech (infact two sep BS degrees in 5 yrs)
Plz temme more abt u .. and Plz if anyone had any interview with these guys do post here...</p>
<p>Well i think there wont be any more interview calls.
According to grad cafe.
we should get admit :) by mid march to end of march.
Otherwise we can expect a rejection letter from Media lab by first week of April.</p>
<p>I have worked very hard at my application for nearly an year. I hope and pray to god for an admit. In worst case scenario if i don't get an admit, i will accept it as my destiny.</p>
<p>The research i did in last year which was related to my first group choice has changed me as a person. So the only question in front of me is whether to continue doing it with them or with someone else or alone.</p>
<p>I hope everyone gets admit to group they wish.
Best of luck!!</p>
<p>godhelp, I am very impressed by your dedication to application. may god bless you. may god bless everyone who post message here</p>
<p>People getting admits .. please post it here ... with the group name ... All the Best for everyone ... Our destiny to be decided in another couple of weeks ...</p>

<p>all accepts came on 19,21 and 28
out of which 21 and 28 were friday's
so mostly we will get admit in last two weeks of march or even tommorow with small probability</p>
<p>oh i don't seem to have considered the year.
it can be any day in the week then</p>
<p>........bump!</p>
<p>anyone got offer? the waiting really tortures me</p>
<p>This is killing me!!!!!! I want to know now. I had a interview a month ago today. I keep going over all the q&a. Some days I feel like I got it and other days I think no way. I guess we will find out in a week or two.</p>
<p>Which group did you interview for? :)</p>
<p>bump!</p>
<p>any news?</p>
<p>I would expect more reply in the next couple of days. did MIT send offer letter in express mail and reject letter in normal mail? that is why there is time difference in delivery?</p>
<p>i asked a MIT Media lab student about how admits are sent. He told me that those who are accepted are notified by E mail as well as normal mail. I guess that those who are rejected will be notified by postal mail.</p>
<p>People have got E mail rejects also, I have a friend who apped last year and got email reject
... AAAh no one for admits yettt !!!!!</p>
