Not surprised, switching from Chem Eng so it was always gonna be tough. 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.

1.5 years post-grad research, 1 year undergrad research. No publications. 2 strong LORs, 1 generic.

Good luck to everyone!

Was interested in Chem bio. Top 5 undergrad institution with famous PI. 1 manuscript in preparation, 3 strong LOR, 2 poster presentations, 1 international conference.

2 years research, No publications, 2 poster presentations

MIT slaughter day

Unfortunate

About time we heard back

I applied to Computational Science and Engineering PhD program with Mechanical Engineering home department. I have not yet heard back whether I've been accepted or rejected, so maybe there is still hope for acceptance. Perhaps I've been waitlisted.

Best of luck to those who have received decisions. Haven't received updates from the program yet as well, and hoping for fluid mechanics / ocean engineering

Any chance for coming PhD acceptances ?

Glad to finally receive the decision. Have other exciting offers, good luck to everyone else!

This was somewhat expected, glad to finally have a decision though

ttp(s)b: So it was correct that rejections were handed out today for those of you who weren't accepted on the 16th. I wish you all success in your future endeavors, and please don't evaluate your rejection as a flaw in character or merit. For those of you who (like myself) have no decision as of yet, keep holding in there. Hoping for heat transfer.

TTPB: Area I had applied to was Robotics, Instrumentation and Control in Mechanical Engineering
