I thought I got rejected because I haven't received any email for the interview....But today, I received the "You have an application status update" email and got accepted into Ph.D.

TTPB: They already rejected the people they definitely didn't want ( me included) no one got in yet. If you haven't heard from them, it's a good sign. PS: I'm doing my undergard here

Very surprised, since I thought all the acceptances went out in early January. I also hated my trimmed personal statement. No information about funding on the admission letter, no interview. 3.7 GPA, 4 years research, no publications.

Expected, since getting into MIT is hard, and I had no interview. Sorry TTPB with 7 1st authored papers, I'm sure you'll be doing amazing things, they'll regret not admitting you.

When are these mofos gonna get back to us?

Automated email saying my portal was updated, shortly thereafter followed by a templated email from admissions with the offer letter

Notification to check portal

generic rejection email

I intend to enjoy a cold beer while watching the new episode of the Bachelor tonight. Join me brethren!

Email from graduate college saying that department did not recommend my admission. Portal has not been updated.

TTPB : That is impressive!!! But I am sure you will be admitted to somewhere else:) Are you a master's student and how many years of research have you done if you don't mind?

aha. 7 first-authored papers on top journals, including 1 on Science Advances (a lot other coauthored papers). recommendations from UCLA, Princeton and others. direct rejection without interview. Anyway, Fight on!

To those who received admission to the Energy, Environmental And Chemical Engineering, PhD (F21) programme, First of all congratulations! Well done. I also applied to the same programme but yet to hear from them. Could you share your profiles, if you do not mind? Thank you.
