I am sad to receive this email. "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."

TTBP: What is your subfield?

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.

Anyone any updates on this post-interview?

[Not WL] How many students these universities pick up from the waiting list usually?

Pretty sad...

Received a short email.

I reached my POI today and was told that the admissions this year were closed. It's sad but reasonable. I am not sure how many people are still waiting but good luck.

Transportation focus. Short rejection email.

Same as the poster below, got an email on 26 Feb saying that the decision was awaited, and received an email today saying that the application has been rejected. Probably, the renewable energy area took more time than the others. Congratulations to all those who received admits!

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.
