TTPB: Admitted off the waitlist. The committee said all the acceptance should be out last Friday Apr. 2nd.

Same as the person who shared 'copy-paste email from EECS admission chair saying I've been waitlisted along with ~50 others across EECS subareas. EECS apply portal is still blank.' I wonder when they will send out the final results. It says in the email that they will do it in March, but still they initially claimed results would be out in early March...

Standard rejection email

Expected rejection! Like their EMAIL, wish you guys much continued success in all of your academic and professional endeavors. Most importantly, wish you guys good health and hope that you remain safe from the Corona-19 virus.

TTPB: I agree. I was one of the people who emailed asking for a status update. I got rejected but it had nothing to do with my email. I obviously knew I was getting rejected (since its march 18th), but just wanted to be sure so I could commit to a different school (still waiting on others xD). Literally everyone today that got an email got rejected, so they clearly knew the status of me (and many others). I totally agree this lack of transparency is cruel. If they knew they were going to reject me they should have let me know right away, not make me wait. Same with all schools. You should not have to wait until like April.

apparently March 18th counts as "early March" 🤡

No matter how much research you do, obviously, you can't get in unless you are born privilaged and attended the top schools.

LOL about f***ing time.

i am the waitlisted person. yes, it was an official email, and no, I did not reach out to inquire first.

Still haven't heard from them. Assuming that's a rejection?

I wish MIT just send out the rejection letters. At this point, no acceptance, no waitlist, then the logical conclusion is rejection. It should not take that much to send all of us just one word.

ttpb who mentions the waitlist email, was the email received from the chairperson an official waitlist email or a reply to a status update that you sent first?

I have received no information either through email or through the portal regarding decision on my application. Does that mean I am waitlisted, according to a recent post below?
