| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Electrical Engineering And Computer Science (EECS), PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 6 Apr 2021 | O | 6 Apr 2021 | 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. |

I | 19 Mar 2021 | 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... |

I | 19 Mar 2021 | At least, the wait is finally over |
| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Electrical Engineering And Computer Science (EECS), PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 18 Mar 2021 | I | 19 Mar 2021 | Standard rejection email |
| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 18 Mar 2021 | I | 19 Mar 2021 | So, yup. The rejection is finally here, so now I can move on. The (admittedly slim) chance of getting in at all kept me hanging for the last 4 months. Well, dreaming ain't a crime. Congratulations to everyone who got in. |
| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Electrical Engineering And Computer Science (EECS), PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 18 Mar 2021 | A | 18 Mar 2021 | TTPB: I agree. I was one of the people who emailed asking for a status update. I got rejected but it had nothing to do with my email. I obviously knew I was getting rejected (since its march 18th), but just wanted to be sure so I could commit to a different school (still waiting on others xD). Literally everyone today that got an email got rejected, so they clearly knew the status of me (and many others). I totally agree this lack of transparency is cruel. If they knew they were going to reject me they should have let me know right away, not make me wait. Same with all schools. You should not have to wait until like April. |

A | 18 Mar 2021 | ASU undergrad with 3.71 GPA, 2 NASA internships, a few other internships, 2 papers, 1 first author, another in progress. My letter writers are somewhat connected with MIT and likely wrote decent recs. Obviously it's MIT so very competitive.. Luckily I have a good offer at ASU!

I | 18 Mar 2021 | 4.24/4.30 GPA, 3 co-authored papers, 2 years research experience, supposedly wonderful LoRs. It's MIT though, can't say I'm surprised. Sucks to think about the possibility for 4 months just to get a 1 paragrah email though! |

| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Computer Science, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 18 Mar 2021 | U | 18 Mar 2021 | I sent emails to some of the faculty members whose research I was interested in yesterday to know about the status of my application. And then today I received the rejection letter from EECS Chair. I don't understand why they didn't send the rejection email earlier. Sad life :( |

| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Electrical Engineering And Computer Science (EECS), PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 18 Mar 2021 | O | 18 Mar 2021 | [Not waitlisted] TTPB: same limbo with MIT, but received my rejection from CMU a few days ago . Pretty much waiting for rejection from MIT at this point. |
| Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) | Electrical Engineering And Computer Science (EECS), PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 17 Mar 2021 | A | 17 Mar 2021 | [ignore waitlist] Has anyone heard results recently from MIT/Caltech/CMU ? I thought MIT was supposed to come out the 15th, and caltech apparently had visitor days already, so I figure I will be rejected, but I would really just like to know so I can commit. |
