Hey guys I am really anxious how come Mech MIT have started releasing decisions so early? TTPB on Mech Masters acceptance, i guess is a false post. Pls guide me guys i am really nervous on this. Thank you.

TTPB: Who sent you the offer graduate administrator or any PI?

Moderate research experience, strong LORs, motivation-based SOP

TTPB on acceptance on Masters at MIT: How is this even possible? I guess they usually come back to you by Feb. I have seen few to none getting accepted this fast. I mean it is possible (maybe for internal students ig) idk. But whats your area of research? Who gave you this acceptance? Mail sent by graduate administrator or PI or any other prof.?

Interview scheduled for later this week.

Received a phone call from the professor I worked with last summer notifying me that I was admitted.

Received a mail quoting application complete and will receive a decision by 1 March 2021.

To the person who commented below, I am so sorry you had to go through this experience. I wish you all the strength and power to overcome this. More power to you! I feel there is more to life than getting into a top tier grad program. Your mental and physical health comes first before everything.

To the post below: I am sorry to here about your condition. If grad school is what you want to do then you should probably work on your mental state first because that is of most importance. You should not let the rejections bring you down, being rejected is a normal part of life. Also, if a rejection is your worry I would apply to some easier schools to get in, perhaps they accept you. At the end of the day, if grad school is what you want to do, I am sure you'll like it even if you do not go to a top tier school. Good luck

TTPB: (MIT Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. Post below) I did the same when I just finished my bachelor's degree. I wanted to go straight to grad school. I didn't apply for 29 programs tho, I only applied to one program and one scholarship. I failed. I moved one. I started to get a small job with a very low salary, then went to a big company job with a high salary. It took me more than 5 years to get back to grad school. Before I got in with full funding packages, I applied to many programs like you, received many rejections and acceptances as well from all over the world. I am the first generation with formal education as well. But, I never bring that card to my admission process or anything. I have dealt with many rejections in my life; admissions, a love-life, identity, social class, job applications, etc. I survive. I guess I am way older than you. If you could, start small and start slowly in anything. Learn to move on. Good luck!

To the post below, not sure if the school and program you shared is what you apply for, but from my point of view, reaching out to PIs of interest before submitting applications would be a good idea for engineering programs. If you also apply for MS this year, it's still too soon to tell the app result, admissions will be send out till Apr.

To the post below. Please seek medical attention. A therapist and doctor are better than the internet

Did the review process start of this program? I have no update on the website as well as on mail? Did any one you on Gradcafe received any update?

Hey anxious applicant here. which research area did you apply for?

Till now no updates from the department. I'm really nervous already

Guys any update from the graduate administrator? Any update from the department?

To the poster below which group did you apply to?

People who have already recieved their admission results: when did you send your application?
