Aerospace Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Dear {MyName}: 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 2022. We wish you much success as you take the next steps in your studies and your career. Sincerely, Graduate Admissions Committee Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics MIT

Aerospace Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology MIT is interested in military students and industry partnerships with commercial space. No one will come out and say it but if you don’t fall into one of those two categories, your chances of acceptance are almost 0.

Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology 3.5 years of experience in R&D in defense industry. 2 publications, international student. Message: Thank you for applying to the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT and thank you for your patience during this lengthy admissions process. Unfortunately, we are unable to admit you to our graduate program. This year we received a record number of applicants, but we were only able to admit approximately 1 in 10. As a result, we had to turn away hundreds of highly-qualified applicants. We truly wish you well in your future endeavors.

Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Thought I didn’t stand a chance due to ug GPA, but thankfully not. For my stats: 3.83 MS gpa, US citizen, 3 pubs + 3 in review (4 1st author and 1 in a 40+ IF). Recs from 1 named prof, 1 MIT alum, and another tenured prof.

Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Generic rejection. 2 first author pubs, 1 at a top IEEE journal. Presentation at IROS. 3 more paper under review/preparation. MS from good (R1) university in the US. 3 LoRs, 1 from a prominent faculty with extensive history of cooperation with MIT/Draper. 4.0 grad GPA, 3.8+ undergrad. Note to future international applicants of MIT or Stanford ME: minimize your expectations. You have to compete with Americans with NSF fellowships & many research or internship opportunities during their undergrad (including at MIT/Stanford itself), and with international applicants from the "right" universities or labs. And then IMO you need LORs from people strongly affiliated with MIT/Stanford. And even then you have to get very lucky still. If you look at member s of any lab, it's obvious that it's extremely rare for someone to get accepted without ticking all those boxes which are not really in our control in the end. And don't take their empty talk of "diversity of backgrounds" seriously.

Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology 3 years robotics research experience with 2 published conference articles. For some reason MIT didn't receive my IELTS scores which may have played a part in the decision. No GRE as it wasn't necessary this year
