Thank you for your interest in the Aeronautics and Astronautics graduate program at MIT. You clearly have many strengths, but unfortunately we cannot offer you admission to our department at this time. Our committee selects from a large and talented pool of applicants each year (this year fewer than 8% of applicants were admitted), and we are truly sorry that we cannot extend to you, and many other strong students, the invitation to study with us for September 2024. Unfortunately due to the high volume of applicants, we are unable to provide individual feedback on application decisions. We wish you much success as you take the next steps in your studies and your career. Sincerely, The Graduate Admissions Committee

Notified by email to check portal at 11:16AM

I didn't receive an email, I just decided to check the portal today and it said I got rejected. Did undergrad at a reputable college, received my masters from a top 5 school for aerospace engineering graduate programs, and I've been working at a government lab for a year and a half. Currently have 2 conference publications with more upcoming and a journal paper upcoming. I had actually met with an MIT professor back in October and spoke to him about working in his lab group and he's on the grad committee. Our meeting went well and he told me I'm at the top of his list. Despite all of this, I didn't get in. I've got a really good offer with a professor from Minnesota so I'm not too upset. Good luck to everyone
