TTPB: Saying good luck has no consequence on another's admittance. It's courtesy. And acceptance into these programs is often based on luck. You could be completely qualified and get rejected. Often, admissions committees make mistakes. How many people get admitted each year, how many finish their PhD and how many are successful at research? You honestly don't think acceptance into this program means your H-index is guaranteed to break 100, let alone 50. There's always a bell curve, or more fittingly a pareto distribution with grad student quality. ;) Hope you're the latter.

Saying Good luck to others doesn't make any sense since admissions is zero sum.

Did not get an interview. Do you know of anybody who got hired by David Sontag or Jim Glass? Or any ML+Health admit?

I am truly sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission to the Department of Political Science at MIT. We had a record number of applicants this year, far exceeding the number that can be accommodated, and we have had to refuse admission to some very well-qualified applicants. We appreciate your interest in MIT and wish you the very best with your future plans.
