It is what it is. Might as well embrace it and focus on what I have.

"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."

Short little rejection email

I've received an email from the MIT department and I got rejected! I knew I wouldn't get in, but I thought maybe I'd get a spot on the waiting list! It really hurts.

Generic rejection email.

Standard rejection email.

The portal asks to check back by early March, but it is already March 8th.... Does anyone have any info?

Applied straight out of college, email said program received record number of applicants

Applied for Lifelong Kindergarten group. Bummer

Thank you for your interest in the Center for Computational Science and Engineering (CCSE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and for the information you offered in support of your application. This year we received a record-breaking number of applications and regret that we are unable to offer you admission to the CSE PhD / SM programs for Fall 2021. Due to a variety of factors, we are also unable to provide further information, including individualized feedback, to applicants. We appreciate your understanding and wish you much success in your future endeavors.

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.

Beyond excited and grateful! International student, 2 years of research experience, strong (?) SoP, strong Recommendation Letters.

CS + Math double, 3.90 GPA, 2 unpublished papers

I'm still shocked!!! I can't believe this!!! God is good :)

Do they send out email in batches? Haven't heard from them? Have all the accepts come through?
