Graduate School Admission Results

TTPB on acceptance on Masters at MIT: How is this even possible? I guess they usually come back to you by Feb. I have seen few to none getting accepted this fast. I mean it is possible (maybe for internal students ig) idk. But whats your area of research? Who gave you this acceptance? Mail sent by graduate administrator or PI or any other prof.?

To the person who commented below, I am so sorry you had to go through this experience. I wish you all the strength and power to overcome this. More power to you! I feel there is more to life than getting into a top tier grad program. Your mental and physical health comes first before everything.

To the post below: I am sorry to here about your condition. If grad school is what you want to do then you should probably work on your mental state first because that is of most importance. You should not let the rejections bring you down, being rejected is a normal part of life. Also, if a rejection is your worry I would apply to some easier schools to get in, perhaps they accept you. At the end of the day, if grad school is what you want to do, I am sure you'll like it even if you do not go to a top tier school. Good luck

TTPB: (MIT Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. Post below) I did the same when I just finished my bachelor's degree. I wanted to go straight to grad school. I didn't apply for 29 programs tho, I only applied to one program and one scholarship. I failed. I moved one. I started to get a small job with a very low salary, then went to a big company job with a high salary. It took me more than 5 years to get back to grad school. Before I got in with full funding packages, I applied to many programs like you, received many rejections and acceptances as well from all over the world. I am the first generation with formal education as well. But, I never bring that card to my admission process or anything. I have dealt with many rejections in my life; admissions, a love-life, identity, social class, job applications, etc. I survive. I guess I am way older than you. If you could, start small and start slowly in anything. Learn to move on. Good luck!

To the post below, not sure if the school and program you shared is what you apply for, but from my point of view, reaching out to PIs of interest before submitting applications would be a good idea for engineering programs. If you also apply for MS this year, it's still too soon to tell the app result, admissions will be send out till Apr.

To the post below. Please seek medical attention. A therapist and doctor are better than the internet

Turned down MIT. Good luck to the waitlist, hope they process you inside of the next 4 days.

Anyone else still waiting for decisions?
