I have 7 journal & 3 conference publications. Honor student during BSc & MSc. Several other research/industry experiences + varsity rankings. A professor liked my resume and suggested me to apply. But my application got rejected. Just curious to see who they have accepted then. Lovely & fair system...

*Structural field Dear Name: The graduate admissions process for the 2021-22 academic year is now complete. I am truly sorry to inform you that we are not offering you admission to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The number of applicants to the graduate program far exceeds the number that can be accommodated and therefore only a small fraction of applicants can be accepted. We appreciate your interest in our department and hope that you are able to pursue your graduate studies elsewhere.

Absolutely thrilled. Two co-author papers, one first author paper in preparation, research experience adds up to about 3 years of full-time work.

I completed my interview on Feb 18 and received the decision on March 4. I wish they could provide more specific feedback for the interview.

:(

Please ignore the waitlist. Does anyone hear back from Master of Engineering in Climate, Environment & Sustainability yet?

Two summer internships, one semester internship, all in the related fields, strong recommendation letters, strong SOP

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
