GPA is MA, No GRE.

Master's degree GPA: 3.70

generic rejection -- not shocking, as I didn't get an interview (still super sad though!)

287 applicants and only interviewed 7%, from which fewer were actually admitted

same rejection via portal as other HASTS -- won't send formal rejection until march 1 in case they want to extend interviews further. honestly feel so fine about this one! wrong program.

"Jan. 28 update: Our admissions committee has extended interview invitations to everyone we anticipate interviewing, and we have now received confirmation of receipt from all of them. We will most likely admit from this pool of applicants, but are not sending out final admissions decisions to the rest of the applicants in case the committee decides to extend interview invitations to a few more applicants. We expect to email final notifications to those who were not interviewed by March 1."

From the admissions portal: "Jan. 28 update: Our admissions committee has extended interview invitations to everyone we anticipate interviewing, and we have now received confirmation of receipt from all of them. We will most likely admit from this pool of applicants, but are not sending out final admissions decisions to the rest of the applicants in case the committee decides to extend interview invitations to a few more applicants.

To the poster below who received an email rejection today: were you one of the interviewed applicants? Many thanks.

Typical official rejection email. No feedback is possible.

Usual rejection notice. 0a/5r/0w/8applications

Not invited to the interview.

Have been very upset already when I knew I was not invited to the interview, so pretty calm when I read this update from the application website. MIT is hard anyway. Formal rejection letter will be sent out by March 9.

This message on website: Feb. 3 update: Our admissions committee has extended interview invitations to everyone whom we anticipate interviewing, and we have now received confirmation of receipt from all of them. We will most likely admit from this pool of applicants, but are not sending out final admissions decisions to the rest of the applicants in case the committee decides to extend interview invitations to a few more applicants. We expect to email final notifications to those who were not interviewed by March 9.

Assuming rejection. Checked the website and there was this notice from the department "Feb. 3 update: Our admissions committee has extended interview invitations to everyone whom we anticipate interviewing, and we have now received confirmation of receipt from all of them. We will most likely admit from this pool of applicants, but are not sending out final admissions decisions to the rest of the applicants in case the committee decides to extend interview invitations to a few more applicants.
