Social And Engineering Systems (SES), Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) TTPB: I would assume it's a rejection (I was one of the ones who got an interview) based on the email's wording. Looks like that's the pool who is offered admission. But 2 notes of consolation -- since I have been in your position for a few schools I really liked this cycle! (1) The acceptance rate at programs like this are very low so by definition many qualified people won't be accepted. This happens because (1a) MIT would rather risk a false negative than false positive and (1b) sometimes really idiosyncratic things come up, like who has funding for a particular project. But ofc none of this is necessarily a reflection of you as a candidate since you can't control MIT's risk tolerance or projects of faculty. (2) In general, I think this was a bad year to apply for PhD programs because so many people applied for PhD programs. So many people who would have been accepted last year will not be accepted this year simply based on numbers. And in that case, it's always worth it to shoot again next year. And your experience of applying this year will be helpful. Hopefully these comments are somewhat useful/consolatory. And ofc, best of luck with your other choices since there are many amazing programs out there :)

Civil And Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) TTPB: Had an interview with POI last week, and received the waitlist notice from POI due to limited funding yesterday. Field: environmental fluid mechanics. Status may change if funding becomes available.

Social Engineering Systems(SES), Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) TTPB: I have not heard back from them too. I do not want to ruin your day, but this is basically a rejection. They are going to offer admissions to those who are interviewing. Congrats to all of them.
