Finally comes! Generic rejection. 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.

Dejected. Disheartened. 1 in 10 bullshit! Did anyone even get accepted???? I am seeing all rejections....

1 icra accepted, 2 top conf & journal under review, gpa top 5% in a global top 20 univ. such a result not expected

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

Does anyone know why they sent out rejections before acceptances this year? There's no chance they made a mistake... right

Not an interview. Anyone received communication for MASc or MEng admissions from the department?

Just plain rejection email

Got a standard rejection template - 1 in 10 blah blah.

sad

More of a robotics background and ok-ish grades.

Masters from USA (GPA 3.9); Bachelors GPA 3.74; 2 conference papers; 2 journal papers; expected result.
