Graduate School Admission Results

It is fucking depressing. I did everything I could. Published 9 papers at top conferences. I do not know why. Only because I am from Asia? MIT is my fucking dream place. I cannot move on. I really want to go to MIT.

Any idea when waitlisted candidates can expect final decisions? I wish they got this over with. Ironically, I saw there was a post for rejection->acceptance last year in April, lol.

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...

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 reached my POI today and was told that the admissions this year were closed. It's sad but reasonable. I am not sure how many people are still waiting but good luck.

Totally unexpected. No interview, no publications. Perfect GPA good SoP (I guess?) good RLs, 1 year research experience.

TTPB: Did you receive an official e-mail rejection from MIT EECS EE application?

I guess they really decided not to accept EE applicants

POI told me there will be no more acceptance.

About the below posters: Do you receive the official rejection email or your web portal shows rejection?

Applied for EE program.
