Graduate School Admission Results

"I am truly sorry to inform you that we are not offering you admission to MIT in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering for the Fall 2019 term."

To the poster below asking research background; I think it is not right to disclose the identity of the POIs. Research area is control and communications.

Less than 12% admit rate. Sad, but congrats to all who were admitted!

Received admission email at 10.35am (Boston time). Currently doing a one-year Master's in the UK. No GRE taken. One patent, one publication in different field (in submission).4 strong LORs, including one from a researcher that worked with multiple Turing Awardees.

accepted from waitlist. considering options. thoughts on MIT vs Stamford?

Seems all the interviews yesterday and today are AI track. Interesting! And synchronous with Stanford CS interviews these two days, also AI track. Kind of like entanglement effect, isn't it?

go gentle into that good night

7 years work experience in nonprofit sector including 2 years as executive director more interested in policy side

To the posts below - check your spam. They sent an email from political.science@mit or something, so it probably got filtered as spam.

avg gre. 3 publications, 1 high impact journal. Excellent letters of rec, internship at high profile Silicon Valley tech, 5 years of research.

Well, had to see that coming. Chemical Physics undergrad. One summer of research at JHU APL. No publications.

Pretty nice letter though

As expected, still frustrated :(

To the posters below: When did you receive the rejection letter? I have not yet received anything and pointlessly gained hope now :(

Anyone on the waitlist heard back from MIT after rejections were sent out?

Accepted via big ol' envelope in the mail. No funding as of yet, but still incredibly excited!!!
