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

5 pointsby razorsharpover 13 years ago
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.<p>There's no clear data about what are minimum requirements? How many students do they take etc.? The info is absolutely very less.<p>Can we form a small group of people who're applying.a private googlegroup would be great. Anyone?

As one of the ML alums on HN, happy to share a few pointers.<p>The lab is a total of about 250 grad students and faculty, including MS and PhD. I imagine about 60% of grad students are MS. Even if you have an MS before, you'll have to start with the Media Lab MS degree.<p>You really apply to a specific adviser, so its important to know your research area, and define your past work in that context.

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