Email to check portal. Guess PoI match was worse than I thought.

I had an interview late Jan. 4 strong LORs. No GRE. Over 3.9 GPA from undergrad. Strong research experience and posters/upcoming publications but I guess the POI didn't think it was a fit. I'm a bit disappointed with the experience overall.

Received an email saying the update of portal, and got a rejection as expected.

Theory, no interview.

(Engineering and Applied Sciences - PhD Engineering Science: Electrical Engineering ) Email to check portal. Generic rejection letter. No prior contact with POI. No interview invitation. Expected result

heard nothing till rejection, I don't think there were any openings in my listed POI groups. got accepted at mit meche and dmse tho sooo

4.0, Engineering Undergrad, No GRE, 3 research conferences, 1 first-author paper. Knew it was coming along with the rest of y'all, still annoying though. Good luck to everyone else in this cycle (and future cycles), we still got a lot more coming up :).

2.5 yrs research experience (data analysis + NLP for 6 months), BS in Comp Bio (primarily computer science coursework), one paper still in peer review, one primary authorship not yet complete. Several other medical related exp. (used to be premed). Strong LOR from 2 profs and 1 from PI (2/3 went to Harvard). Oh well

This one stung. I put a ton of work into my application and was very well matched to a couple of groups (in my opinion).
