Hey could anyone let me know in general if they conduct interviews (specifically if you know about structures) or directly send decisions?

TTPB: can u please name , which are these top tier schools. So that I know what chances I got

I got a phone call on Friday, and I can't believe it, such an early notification—apparently, from 800 applicants, only 30 spots.

Based on past years' results, there's a good chance that the bulk of MIT's AeroAstro SM acceptances are coming out tomorrow (especially since they didn't on Friday). Good luck everyone!

I was interviewed about 3 weeks ago but still no news. Has anyone got an admission or a rejection ?

TTPB, Congrats!! Are you admitted to the Meng or the MS program for the structural field?

I got a phone call yesterday, and I can't believe it, such an early notification—apparently, from 800 applicants, only 30 spots.

Received an email asking to schedule a phone call, and then a call from a professor who will be my point of contact. Accepted with minimum 75% scholarship guaranteed. So thrilled!

Accepted today into Civil Eng Master - structural engineering focus. Phone call.

Two prior research experiences

TPB: The faculty says they are still sending interviews next week.

ttpb: if you don't mind sharing what was your concentration of studies? Also, did you receive the email today (Saturday)?

TTPB: No, I can assure you that if you have not received notification of waitlist, then at this point you are rejected :( everyone who has a chance of getting in has either been accepted or waitlisted already. The top-tier schools have already notified everyone of acceptance, as well as those who have been waitlisted.

TP(very) below: I am also strongly considering deferring for a year because of Covid. I know that several people did it last year!
