If I don't hear from UMich tomorrow, I'm just going to assume I'm accepted by default and show up in the fall.

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. Regards, ME Grad Office

Received general rejection email

4.0 GPA at a Top 5 Engineering University. Two relevant research internships. Two poster presentations and one second author paper. This year was really competitive. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! Hearing nothing so far is better than hearing a rejection!

Got caught up in the second wave of massive rejections, but expected anyway. Hoping for chances elsewhere.

Nice financial offer with a TAship

Surprising, looks like COVID really pumped up the amount of American talent applying this cycle.

About time.

Although "rejections are impending," a wave of acceptances is impending as well. The admission process has been delayed due to COVID, so MIT is a few weeks behind the trends of previous years. I reached out to the admissions department regarding this. If you don't believe me you can ask them yourself. They are trying the best they can.
