Email to check portal. "Thank you for your interest in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology (HST) PhD Program in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics (MEMP). The Graduate Admissions Committee has completed its review of applications, and I am sorry to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission. The Committee is faced with the necessity of choosing an incoming MEMP PhD class from a great many more talented and qualified students than we have room to admit. Our decisions were extremely difficult this year, as the applicant pool was highly competitive. Many applicants presented strong credentials describing their academic achievements, research accomplishments, and personal motivations."

WOOOO!!!

Found on MIT HASTS admissions website: "Update posted on February 4, 2025: All applicants who have been selected to interview have been notified and have replied. We plan to admit from the pool of interviewed applicants, however official decision notifications will go out to all applicants by the first week of March." Did not receive email so inferring rejection.
