the letter says ~50 candidates are on the wait list and there\'s been no openings for the wait list in the last several years. maybe i should give up on this.....

My dream college :-( . But it looks as though they didn't plan to take undergrads from my country.

Disappointed... My first reject this year...

I really don't know what to say. I have a 4/4 GPA. 12 Publications. I am ranked 1st in a dept of 131. TOEFL score of 112. Very strong Letters of Recommendations from the Professors. I really don't know where I went wrong. Feeling totally devastated...The world seems so empty. Don't feel like living anymore

They were not my top choice and I got Stanford and Berkeley so no regrets. I'm just surprised they didn't have the decency to send me an email! Had to go check the website. Meh, West Coast >> East Coast, especially since I want to do a startup with my PhD

One more victim of brutal reject spree of MIT...wat 2 say?

I'm strongly suspicious my application package is not reviewed by any professor. 3 IEEE trans. and 5 conference paper (not NIPS/ICML, but still good conference), GPA: 4.0, rank: 1/121, one best student paper award, Meritorious Winner of MCM, ...... still rejected...... What are they looking for??? MIT is downgrade itself. I will go to Cambridge anyway. Good luck guys, go another good place and produce excellent work to prove you are better than MIT students. Bless all rejected students from MIT.

sad

Dear Tailai Wen, I am truly sorry to inform you that we are not offering you admission to M.I.T. in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The number of applicants for admission to the graduate school greatly exceeds the number which can be accommodated, and it has been necessary to refuse admission to many fine applicants. We appreciate your interest in M.I.T. and sincerely hope that you may be able to continue your professional studies elsewhere.

As expected

Area V

i feel relieved...i have no questions in my mind to accept other schools now.

I bet on my life and now, I have no idea why should I stay alive anymore after this reject.

No email or letter yet, but the website says "no." Dang it.
