TTPB: I was the first poster who said I got an interview and I realize I made a mistake. Actually, the email was from the coordinator who CC'd the chair. I didn't realize the CC'd person was the chair (I assumed that was who I was interviewing with). So no, they did not tell me to communicate with whom I would like to speak to. Fwiw, I listed specific faculty in my statement and why we were a good fit. Maybe they are just getting those who I listed as POI?

TTPB: I also got an interview invite email today but was asked to tell them which faculty I want to interview with. Were you specifically told who you're interviewing with in the email itself?

TTPB: I have not heard about Masters yet. Based on previous years it looks like Masters results are released a few days after PhDs

What about masters? Does anyone who applied for masters hear back from them?

to the posters below: I sent an email to the ME grad admissions office this morning. The fact that whether or not there is a blue line in the portal stating that the application is complete has no impact on the application (unless, of course, when the application is actually incomplete).

Invited to interview. Looks like faculty I am invited to interview with was not when I listed on SOP as POI

TTPB: Not the original poster, but I was accepted to the planetary sciences program and my understanding is that all of the EAPS programs sent acceptances at the same time (a department-wide virtual visit was held this week). Not sure how the waitlist is being worked out though.

TTPB: I was the first person to post about an unofficial acceptance email. Seeing as the official letters came out today, my guess is that acceptances are all out now. No idea about potential for waitlist though.

They said in the email that they will continue to make First Round admissions offers over the course of the next week or so.

TPB - congrats! Did you have an interview?

Have you submitted the application after the deadline? Or, Did you miss any application material? If not, did you contact the grad office and check on this?

My application portal had a blue tick around dec 15 itself

I have full access to gradapply.mit.edu/meche/apply/, and am able to read full contents. Since when do you observe blue lines and messages?\r\n

to the post below - did you interview with the program and then got rejected or just got an email? I'm also expecting a rejection but am not sure why I also didn't get an email. thanks!
