Thank you for your interest in the Aeronautics and Astronautics graduate program at MIT. You clearly have many strengths, but unfortunately we cannot offer you admission to our department at this time. Our committee selects from a large and talented pool of applicants each year (this year fewer than 8% of applicants were admitted), and we are truly sorry that we cannot extend to you, and many other strong students, the invitation to study with us for September 2024. Unfortunately due to the high volume of applicants, we are unable to provide individual feedback on application decisions. We wish you much success as you take the next steps in your studies and your career. Sincerely, The Graduate Admissions Committee
