My top choice! So excited!! Interview weekend Feb 27-29.

Was expecting a phone call, but email works too!

Graduate admissions contacted me via phone. There will be a visiting weekend in March. So excited!

3 years research experience, 2 publications [1 in review, 1 in preparation], 2 strong rec letters and 1 okay letter from a well-respected academic, 4 conference presentations

Generic email. Good luck to those who received interview invites!

Ivy League undergrad with two publications and 2+ years research

GPA 8.7/10, 2 manuscripts in submission (1st and 2nd author), 1 conference presentation, 2 years iGEM. Short and simple rejection email. MIT was always going to be hard being an international applicant.

7 Years of research experience, 5 Publications (1 first author)+2 under review, multiple conference presentations and research awards. I hope this goes to show that virtually no profile can guarantee admission among such a talented pool of candidates.

Received interviews for all schools except this one - my first choice. The battle continues, never give up.

6 years of research experience (4 part-time and 2 full-time), multiple presentation in congresses (international and national). Masters GPA 4.0
