Generic reject mail. Had contacted a professor before applying but to no avail.

TTPB: did you have an interview or something? what track? sucks that they'd drop a reject on you during the weekend

I got an email stating that there was a status update of my application when I checked the portal it was a rejection!

I got an email regarding the status update of my application, and it is a rejection.

Accepted with PhD fellowship. Currently masters student. Had interview with PI during Jan. EE-Controls.

Notified via email

MS in Computer Engineering (Computer Systems track)

VLSI track

TTPB: The professor sent me an email said I would receive the offer in the future weeks. After 2 weeks I got the email said there is a significant decision in the uApply. The research field is model driven engineering.

TTPB: Have 3 1st author SCI journals and 12 1st authors conference papers (1 flagship top conference in my field where people die to publish) Masters from top university (out side USA) last year. I know my field very well and had more than 60 video lectures in YouTube with millions of views. Yes I am verifiable, knowledgable, and proven researcher but it is MIT, where networking and nepotism are at its best. My recommenders gave me super strong letters but since MIT profs are crooked, do they actually value a strong recommender who they do not know? The answer is no- I think. But I have been accepted in another top school, so it does not matter. But unfortunately networking, and many Iranian and Chinese MIT POIs prefer to accept someone with degree from their own country's universities. Seriously? Racism is at its best in academia.

Now that the PhD results are out, does anyone know when to expect Masters acceptances/rejections? Last year the acceptances were sent out around Feb 22nd, but I havent seen anything about emails going out.

To the post below, do you mind sharing the research track to which you've applied. Thanks and best wishes in your interview.
