I am sure. However, the faculty seems to busy to reply. I know that they receive a 100 emails per day.

Ask HN: Would you want to work at the MIT Media Lab?

Media Lab is one crazy place to do research at. I deferred my application last year to MIT media lab and went on to do neural net research at IBM Almaden Research center.There's no clear data about what are minimum requirements? How many students do they take etc.? The info is absolutely very less.Can we form a small group of people who're applying.a private googlegroup would be great. Anyone?

is it true that knowing someone there helps? i notice the difference bw media lab and other schools. so someone who knows how to show off might have a better chance than someone really good at it?

Ask HN:How to get into MIT Media Lab?

I applied to MIT Media Lab last year, application was rejected. I've solid projects on Fluid Dynamics, Image processing, and some of them align with their interests too. Any inputs on what it takes to make the chances of application really stand out? -is it the GPA? -is it ability to publish? -is it the recommendations?
