Generic email rejection letter. MIT was always a reach considering my GPA, but I have 4 years of research experience (1 as an undergrad, 1 in industry, 2 in academia as a tech) and 4 publications--two middle authorships in low-impact journals, one 4th author in nature medicine, and one in pre-print.

Not a result update, but has any international applicant heard from MIT Biology? Thanks!

"As a small interdepartmental program that admits 8-10 students a year, we have a record of 400 applications from highly qualified applicants this year like yourself. We regret that we are unable to offer you a place in our program at this time."
