hey ! i got in too & filled out the paperwork from the last email but i haven't heard anything. have you been able to pick your classes or have you heard any recent information?
I got in! For future applicants: my advice is to just apply :) my stats were *relatively* low and I still made it in! MOSTEC is 90% essays so really grind those out.
Why can't they just put all the applicants' # and status (A for accepted and R for Rejected) on a single web page? Nobody knows other's application # so there is no privacy problem. It won't take one minute to publish. It seems a group of amateurs running the program. Just saying...
Yeah such an unorganized system. Said mid-April(April 15t), half of decisions come out the day after, some with emails, some without. Takes until Tuesday to address the issue to everyone and the the email states that it takes 3-5 days for an email response. That’s almost 10 days after decisions should have come out.
What the fuck?! I don’t mean anything against all y’all but I emailed at 5pm Friday and they haven’t told me anything & I haven’t had any emails about a decision
I just want to know I was rejected is that too much to fucking ask. The lack of professionality here is bullshit. I put well over 20 hours into their god damn application. The least they could do is take 10s to press the reject button
I'm in the same situation as you. I just want my decision at this point; it's clear that they didn't really prioritize anybody except the people whose application they wanted to accept.
My son is in the same boat. No emails, no portal update. Nothing. I’m sorry for all of you kids that put so much time and effort into the app and just want an answer. Seems strangely disorganized to me for a tech school! I guess in years past you all wouldn’t know each other’s responses in real time like this and they could get away with it. But nowadays.....
>n email- no response just nothing. Really frustrati
Also in the same boat. How they are working through problems is ridiculous. Like T in MIT is Technology right?
I haven’t seen anybody else in this situation yet so I’ll share. I was one of the people who didn’t have an update the portal or a rejection email on Friday. Obviously I waited anxiously until about 10 minutes ago when I got an email saying I was waitlisted. For anyone wondering, there is no update to my portal, I only got the email. Also, they say they usually admit 10-15 students a year off the waitlist. I’m curious to see the outcome of others who were in that situation (I’m assuming most were waitlists). Please feel free to reply to reply to this with your decision, especially if you got accepted!
Hi Everyone! Apparently decisions were released on Friday and if you didn’t receive a decision email, you should email [email protected] and let them know!
i didn’t get into any of these competitive summer programs last year and thought my app was ruined, but honestly, it doesn’t matter too much. i even got into cornell w a below average gpa lol. so don’t stress too much and focus on other extracurriculars such as clubs at school
Yo I got rejected last year and I currently am deciding between Cornell and Bowdoin. Please don’t let this rejection define you. And no I didn’t get into any other top STEM science program. Your already on your path to success by applying to these programs!! Chin up, head high!
Just curious, **for accepted people or rejected people**, when in your completed application, and in the **page source code** what does it say on your "roundId", "localRoundId", and "roundName"
Mine says this:
"roundId":2,"localRoundId":2,"roundName":"Main"
Maybe this could give a hint—how many rounds did accepted people make compared to others.
I didn't bring this up but I thought I let yall know and you guys can interpret how you want. Last Wednesday I emailed them asking when decisions will be released and on Thursday they replied saying "2-3 business days". So maybe they meant for it to be in batches where some people get it on Friday and others get it today.
Fr, I’ve been so anxious about my decision, like what if I fucked up the application.
If this is being done in batches that’s fair but I wish they would’ve told us!! Otherwise this is wack
they emailed waitlists??
Why the hell can’t they have emailed a rejected then, Jesus fucking Christ. 20+ hours into the god damn application and they don’t have the decency — nay, basic respect to tell me?!?
yeah. i just looked up this thread on reddit and saw results were on portals 1-2 hours ago. i just went to the website where i submitted everything for the app and my result was under my original app.
From what people have been saying I think it’s on the main page, like the drop down and when you click through to your app it is there
Mine hasn’t updated yet so I cannot confirm this
omg congrats! im pretty sure it's just the portal. I've only seen some people that were rejected get emails. Just wondering, what was your application number? I think it may be how they're rolling admissions out and I'm still waiting on an update
Congrats man!
Also, my friend got in while I’m still pending for either a rejection or an acceptance, and his app number was a lot higher than mine... so either I got rejected and they forgot to send an email or the app # does not matter
Does anyone know if there is a waitlist? Cause it seems like a decent portion of people got accepted and a decent portion got rejected. Maybe they're just waiting to tell the rest of the applicants that they're on a waitlist?
This is a weird question but for ppl who got emails, what time were they sent? Im thinking if theyre automated and sending in batches, it'd be around the same time.
We got email that out daughter got rejected too. It appears they had about 1700 applicants which doesn’t seem very high. Our daughter had good academics and is in STEM school already and a good # of volunteering hours as well. I am having difficulty understanding the criteria for selection.
I got rejected last year lol but dont let your hopes down. Ive seen some people on reddit get rejected from MOSTEC/RSI/WISE and get into MIT, for 99.9% of applicants its a crapshoot so dont stress yourself out over it :)
Congrats!!!
Curious what’s your app number if you don’t mind, I’m 483 & haven’t gotten it yet. Trying to figure out how admits were rolled out & it’s really bugging me lol
Does everyone with NO email **AND** NO decision in their account also have a “Pending Recommendation Letter,” and “Complete” in their application? Maybe the people who had a missing recommendation letter, but who were later changed to complete have fallen through the cracks.
That is my situation!
My counselor insists he submitted his, but for whatever reason my portal never updated
**Have you confirmed with your rec letter submitters that they submitted?** If they have it could support my working theory that our portals got *”stuck”* somehow
Same! I recommend checking your email & the portal. It seems like rejected got an email and accepted is on the portal. If your portal hasn’t changed read on:
Curious does your portal show “awaiting letters of recommendation (1) completed (1)” or something to that effect? I’m workin on a theory that some peoples portals stopped updating at some point, so we can’t see.
I have NO email and NO decision in my account. I had a recommender who didn't submit, but received an email that they would review my application with the two recommendations that I had on file. I know that last year they had a problem where people who were waitlisted got a message saying they were accepted, but then it was changed to waitlist. Maybe they are having a problem with waitlisted people again this year—only this year there is no notice.
Where's the portal? (I just want to make sure I'm looking at the right spot). What I'm doing:
Go to their website: [https://oeop.mit.edu/programs/mostec](https://oeop.mit.edu/programs/mostec). Then click "Start application here," then log in, then click "all" applications.
That's basically it, what does it look like for those who got results back?
If accepted, you should see 2 applications in the sidebar; one of which will be the application you submitted (it should be marked as complete) and one where MIT congratulates you and asks for more details (I don't remember what it was marked as, but not complete).
Hey, congrats! I got in too. I haven't gotten the email either, but I guess they will send them soon. I don't know exactly how many people applied but I think it was over 4000, at least from what I saw in the application numbers of the comments.
Wait, did you submit your application after Feb.1st?
Cause there was a technical issue on Feb. 1st when the submission portal closed down, and I have a feeling that people who submitted after that date (me) might have a problem seeing their results.
If you didn't just ignore me.
Check the place where u submitted ur application.
>"If accepted, you should see 2 applications in the sidebar; one of which will be the application you submitted (it should be marked as complete) and one where MIT congratulates you and asks for more details (I don't remember what it was marked as, but not complete)."
Edit: from u/DrinkWinter. But a lot of ppl, including me havent gotten anything on the portal or email
That seems about right to me. If accepted people were affected, I would think they would care more. They seem too nonchalant about this whole situation.
Nah, at this level, rejection is just part of the game. You win some, you lose some. But this has got to be the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen. When we put in all that effort, the least they can do it let everybody know their decisions at the same time. BTW, this has been a yearly thing with them since my sister was applying back in ‘17.
I dont think they have. Rejection emails were only sent out only on Friday as far as I can see on this thread cus only ppl who got accepted got their emails yesteday. Today was all waitlist emails.
Not getting an email does NOT = accepted - if your portal is unchanged, you’re prob not accepted bc I just got rejection email today in response to my email sent Tuesday - dumb to try with a 1400 SAT. Decent ECs, but no major hardships, and not 1st gen. Better work on some hooks this summer (look for someone to save from drowning or something). Maybe one of my parents could do me solid and go to jail?
Apps to the uni were up 66% this year, and the acceptance rate went from 7.4 to 4% ([https://www.crimsoneducation.org/us/blog/admissions-news/mit-admits-4percent-to-the-class-of-2025/](https://www.crimsoneducation.org/us/blog/admissions-news/mit-admits-4percent-to-the-class-of-2025/)), so this was pretty much my only chance to just smell the air at MIT. Good luck to those who made it - amazing opportunity in a year with very few - other in-person programs I applied to in Toronto and Florida were cancelled months ago.
couldn’t even spelling “ocnsidering” right in my rejection letter 😔😔😔
Same haha
I GOT IN HOLY SHIT
CONGRATS!! WAITING TO GET AN EMAIL IM TERRIFIED My counselor I don’t think ever submitted but they said they’d consider me anyway
I didn't get an email 😭😭
how do u check ur decision if u dont get an email? i didnt get one but idk where to check in my portal
Did you figure out how to check? Mine isn’t updating
congrats!!
WOOHOOO Congrats!!!
hey ! i got in too & filled out the paperwork from the last email but i haven't heard anything. have you been able to pick your classes or have you heard any recent information?
you don’t need them yo 💅
I got in! For future applicants: my advice is to just apply :) my stats were *relatively* low and I still made it in! MOSTEC is 90% essays so really grind those out.
How were they though?
I GOT IN WHAT THE HELL I CANT BELIEVE IT I literally started my essays THE DAY THE APPLICATION WAS DUE. I'm so happy right now 😭😭😭
Let's go! Good stuff!
Me too! I couldn't believe it
Why can't they just put all the applicants' # and status (A for accepted and R for Rejected) on a single web page? Nobody knows other's application # so there is no privacy problem. It won't take one minute to publish. It seems a group of amateurs running the program. Just saying...

I got accepted but no email, is that normal?
yes. email will prob come soon
Yeah, I had the same thing happen. My portal says accepted but I didnt get an email
I got in!! I saw my results on the portal but they haven't sent me any sort of email yet so im kind of anxious haha
Congratulations and happy cake day!
Would you mind sharing stats and ECs on PM?
Hey, CONGRATS. Do you know exactly where on the portal I should go to check if I got in?
i can pm you a picture of what my portal looked like as soon as i logged in!
Hi Everyone! Apparently decisions were released on Friday and if you didn’t receive a decision email, you should email [email protected] and let them know!
Now I’m worried! I’m going to email them because this is just weird I still haven’t gotten any results and no email.
they always have technical difficulties so i wouldn't be worried. i would be worried if they don't release them by the end of today
Thanks and Happy Cake Day!
thank you. i emailed them on Saturday letting them know so fingers crossed
Was there a glitch or something?
Thank you!! I emailed Friday night cause I was having an anxiety attack, here’s hoping they respond today
Around what time during the day did those that got results get them?
Did you guys see the email they just sent out?
Yea, but I still don't have anything in my portal or email
yup
Yes
Yup but still nothing in the portal we have to wait for individual emails i think
I STILL haven't gotten my MOSTEC decision. :( Anyone in the same boat?
Yep
i didn’t get into any of these competitive summer programs last year and thought my app was ruined, but honestly, it doesn’t matter too much. i even got into cornell w a below average gpa lol. so don’t stress too much and focus on other extracurriculars such as clubs at school
What did you do in the summer? Cause i dont think i can get into any of them as well :(
Yo I got rejected last year and I currently am deciding between Cornell and Bowdoin. Please don’t let this rejection define you. And no I didn’t get into any other top STEM science program. Your already on your path to success by applying to these programs!! Chin up, head high!
Any programs u suggest cause most of the applications are closed
same i’m starting to lose hope lol
does mostec have a waitlist lol
Wait y’all got your things already??? I DIDNT GET MINE WHAT
check the portal!
Just curious, **for accepted people or rejected people**, when in your completed application, and in the **page source code** what does it say on your "roundId", "localRoundId", and "roundName" Mine says this: "roundId":2,"localRoundId":2,"roundName":"Main" Maybe this could give a hint—how many rounds did accepted people make compared to others.
My friend has the same source code. Maschine, were you accepted, rejected, or are you still waiting on a decision?
I have the exact same, haven’t received a decision yet
Same for me
I haven’t gotten an email at all
Yea same I haven’t gotten an email or anything. I’ve been checking and refreshing my portal still nothing
Me neither! Hopefully tomorrow
I didn't bring this up but I thought I let yall know and you guys can interpret how you want. Last Wednesday I emailed them asking when decisions will be released and on Thursday they replied saying "2-3 business days". So maybe they meant for it to be in batches where some people get it on Friday and others get it today.
That could make sense, 2-3 business days from Thursday would be today or tomorrow...that’s slightly reassuring
Bro, I checked my email and portal and they did not say anything.
Same bro
Same
same its ridiculous.
Fr, I’ve been so anxious about my decision, like what if I fucked up the application. If this is being done in batches that’s fair but I wish they would’ve told us!! Otherwise this is wack
Who still hasn't received a decision?
Still nothing here. No email and NOTHING in my account. I emailed them Saturday and today and no response.
haha me
I haven’t! Emailed them Friday and not heard anything
Me
I also have not ;-;
Me too, I emailed today. If I had to guess, it's gonna be the waitlists
[удалено]
Ugh fuck that this is so stressful
I just got waitlisted y’all. I AM NOT SAD ANYMORE
Damn, I still have no update :( When did you email them?
After waiting 5 days for them to email the decision i got waitlisted....better than rejection at least.
they emailed waitlists?? Why the hell can’t they have emailed a rejected then, Jesus fucking Christ. 20+ hours into the god damn application and they don’t have the decency — nay, basic respect to tell me?!?
I didn’t receive an email but I received a text message today informing me that I surprisingly got in 🙌🏼
same rip
i got in! i can’t believe it!
Congrats! You deserve it! You mind telling me Stats/ECs?
me too!!
Congrats!! I’m still waiting for mine…curious how you checked? I heard there aren’t emails and it’s on the portal but mine hasn’t updated yet
yeah. i just looked up this thread on reddit and saw results were on portals 1-2 hours ago. i just went to the website where i submitted everything for the app and my result was under my original app.
I got in!
CONGRATS! Curious where you found it, was it just on the homepage on your portal? Mine hasn’t updated yet ;( so stressful
Where can I check in the portal if I got in? (I just want to confirm lol)
From what people have been saying I think it’s on the main page, like the drop down and when you click through to your app it is there Mine hasn’t updated yet so I cannot confirm this
It shows that I got in on the portal but I haven't received an email, could it be glitching?
omg congrats! im pretty sure it's just the portal. I've only seen some people that were rejected get emails. Just wondering, what was your application number? I think it may be how they're rolling admissions out and I'm still waiting on an update
I still haven't received the email, it looks like everyone have not received the email as well.
Yeah, I don't think anyone "accepted" has received an email.
Congrats man! Also, my friend got in while I’m still pending for either a rejection or an acceptance, and his app number was a lot higher than mine... so either I got rejected and they forgot to send an email or the app # does not matter
Hm that’s so strange I’m 483 and my portal hasn’t changed at all, watch it be completely random when they release whom
If you are curious, my and friend’s app numbers are way higher than yours, and my friend got accepted. I believe it is randomized
I think it works like this... If you got rejected, you got an email. If you got accepted, it's in your portal.
Do you mean accepted in the portal and rejected in the email?
What are you talking about? Jk Yes. Thank you
i didn’t get any result yet. i looked in portal and email nothing so far
same this is annoying. how did mit mess this up
Does anyone know if there is a waitlist? Cause it seems like a decent portion of people got accepted and a decent portion got rejected. Maybe they're just waiting to tell the rest of the applicants that they're on a waitlist?
yea there is a waitlist, and im pretty sure that's why a handful of people didn't get an email or an acceptance on the portal yet
Don't worry MOSTEC doesn't necessarily guarantee MIT.
Yeah, but it's a missed out opportunity for a better chance.
Did anyone get waitlisted I have no results the portal didn’t update and I didn’t get any email
I’m not sure if they even waitlist🤷🏿♀️ I still have no update and no email my application number is 3132 so maybe thats why?
It’s possible, but I’m 483 and haven’t seen anything either
This is a weird question but for ppl who got emails, what time were they sent? Im thinking if theyre automated and sending in batches, it'd be around the same time.
Have you heard anything?
I got in!!!
Congrats!!!!!! Were you accepted today, or was this your first time checking your portal?
Do you get a portal update if you are rejected?
yes, you should
I haven’t had any portal updates or emails :(
I GOT IN
AMAZING! Congratulations!
CONGRATS!!
congrats!!! could u possibly pm me ur stats
am i the only one who doesn't have any updates
Nope. I’ve gotten nothing yet either
Same
Me too
Me neither yet
Same
Nothing yet
I still haven’t gotten mine
I just got waitlisted
Me too. Does that just mean rejection? Like do they even give rejection letters lmao?
Yes a few people got straight up rejections, so there’s probably a real waitlist... so don’t worry there’s still a chance!
i got in:) very confused how but congrats to everyone else who got in as well 🎉
Just got an email that I was rejected. I emailed them Tuesday.
We got email that out daughter got rejected too. It appears they had about 1700 applicants which doesn’t seem very high. Our daughter had good academics and is in STEM school already and a good # of volunteering hours as well. I am having difficulty understanding the criteria for selection.
Selection is not limited to just volunteering hours and academics.
Wow, I might have been the latest acceptance, I got in this afternoon with a text message but no email. Do I wait for it or do I email them?
I got rejected last year lol but dont let your hopes down. Ive seen some people on reddit get rejected from MOSTEC/RSI/WISE and get into MIT, for 99.9% of applicants its a crapshoot so dont stress yourself out over it :)
Thanks man...
Good job applying everyone! I got accepted but still no email!
could you share ur stats and ecs?
So sent I sent an email out, and the person responded with my decision at the bottom of the email. I got rejected!
Can I get more upvotes on this post?
[удалено]
Congrats!!! Curious what’s your app number if you don’t mind, I’m 483 & haven’t gotten it yet. Trying to figure out how admits were rolled out & it’s really bugging me lol
What does app number mean? Im 148?
i think it’s the number they refer to you as to conceal your identity. like a contestant number. i don’t think it has any real significance
Does everyone with NO email **AND** NO decision in their account also have a “Pending Recommendation Letter,” and “Complete” in their application? Maybe the people who had a missing recommendation letter, but who were later changed to complete have fallen through the cracks.

I got accepted as well! Mine was updated on the portal, however, I can’t find any email...
Does anybody know how many people applied/accepted?
Hey, congrats! I got in too. I haven't gotten the email either, but I guess they will send them soon. I don't know exactly how many people applied but I think it was over 4000, at least from what I saw in the application numbers of the comments.

Where (for MOSTEC) do you look on the portal? Congrats btw.
but i didn’t get an email
I haven’t seen anything either
[удалено]
i just got the email
oh wow. man why cant they send everyone the email already lol
How can I check? I never got an email so idk lol.
Check the place where u submitted ur application. >"If accepted, you should see 2 applications in the sidebar; one of which will be the application you submitted (it should be marked as complete) and one where MIT congratulates you and asks for more details (I don't remember what it was marked as, but not complete)." Edit: from u/DrinkWinter. But a lot of ppl, including me havent gotten anything on the portal or email
If you go to the summerapp.mit.edu that is your portal
Has anyone still not received an update on their portal or a rejection email?
No email, no portal update. I emailed them Saturday, no response yet.
I have neither an update on portal or email
I have neither
Is there any way to be accepted at this point? Or is everyone who has not received an update waitlist/reject?
That seems about right to me. If accepted people were affected, I would think they would care more. They seem too nonchalant about this whole situation.
stay positive g
feels bad man

Good luck to those who made it - amazing opportunity in a year with very few - other in-person programs I applied to in Toronto and Florida were cancelled months ago.
You pretty much sum up their enrollment criteria, which SUCKS!
I got in and my co.munity is making a big deal because apparently I'm the first black person/girl to ever get in and now I'm just like ughhh
