Got into CMU and UMich though :) But MIT has always played a large role in my dreams

CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!! I'll be graduating with my B.S. in Chemical Engineering in May. I was already rejected by MIT ChemE and Materials Science, so I was not expecting to get in!!!

didn't expect to get in, but I think a mechE rite of passage is getting rejected from MIT.

GPA is masters

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. Regards, ME Grad Office

Received general rejection email

4.0 GPA at a Top 5 Engineering University. Two relevant research internships. Two poster presentations and one second author paper. This year was really competitive. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! Hearing nothing so far is better than hearing a rejection!
