it was a meme to apply with these numbers

Electrical engineering background, I thought I was a really strong applicant but I guess I wasn't what they're looking for.

First rejection, but at least I heard back early. I went to Berkeley for undergrad and Caltech for MS, but it's good to know I don't have the results desired to be a super-competitive PhD applicant. I do regret not applying to multiple MIT PhD programs, like some other people I know had. Have 2 second-author papers (1 conference, 1 journal), submitted a second-author paper to 1 conference and 1 journal, and had a 1st author paper underway that was severely delayed due to many recent deaths in my research partner's family, along with my partner catching COVID themselves.

Got a generic letter of rejection. I wonder how many internationals they interviewed.

I'm absolutely devastated.

3 year undergraduate dry lab experence. 2 pubs, 1st author pubs under review. General rejection letter, waste of time.

Generic rejection letter. What a waste

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."
