ttpb: I meant 1000+(SM+PhD) individually for both the departments. Yes you are right MIT grad admit is competitive. However, this year mech/aero competition is fierce. hope this helps.

Received email about the admission. No words on funding though.

ttpb: Congrats! Did you had any previous contact with faculty members or interviewed by a any prof? If yes, can you please share the date when you got the interview request.

TTPB: 2.5 years research in additive manufacturing (strong alignment with a few faculty members). GPA was 3.49 at the time of applying and I didn't take the GRE. Visit day is February 11-12. February 11 is chats with current grad students and the 12th is one-on-one interviews with faculty members. The email went to my spam folder, so it's worth checking in your email

Ttpb: acceptance post. When is the visit day? Would you mind sharing your profile?

2.5 years research and in my last year of ME undergrad. Received invitation to visit day with an official acceptance “coming soon”

Thanks, I got my offer on Jan 20 via email. Contacted PI before applying and was told they might interview me after the new year, and have been radio silence since then. Never interview me straight offer letter instead. Have not accept offer yet, still waiting for decision from other schools.

TTPB who got admit. Congrats! Have you contacted PIs before applying?

ttpb: congrats. when did you receive the mail 7 jan or 20 jan?

Accepted with funding and first year fellowship, no interview

ttpb: yes ik that. I did it not to spam both Aero and Mech feed. Doing this makes it visible on both the feed.

SOPs and LORs go a long way. Contacting PIs before applying will solidify your admission
