Do you also get a call when rejected?

 

[k_t]

no I do not think so. Though I have heard some people get rejection mails end of Feb. Calls only for those who are accepted

How can you check the application status, if at all?

I think if you log into the portal you applied through.

Hmm, I have never seen this mentioned in other posts. If your username is the same as your real name, then might I infer you are from Latin America/Spain? Given the analysis I conducted, approx 80% of applicants are Asian. So the overlap between being a female (Augustina?) and Latin American would put you in a very special bucket, most especially given their aim for a diverse class. Don't want to get your hopes up, but I'd only send an email to people I really am interested in and want them to feel special. Plus, if you have an interview with Princeton, that is already a pretty strong signal your profile is solid. Strong profile + diversity = let's take this student asap.

Who knows... I might be totally wrong with all I've said.

Source to backup my claim:

And in order to figure out total number of applicants, you go here: Academic Program Statistics | MIT Sloan, and also use Wayback Machine to cross reference previous numbers (given numbers for 2019, 2020, 2021 are no longer on their website).

It seems like an automated email though...

I have had mine.

 

[marcusaurelius]

I have had mine. My interviewer was very calm and showed little emotion/interest, do not know if I should interpret anything out of this?? has anyone had similar experience, pls share yours

Interesting. Who did you have? Mine is tomorrow ahaha.

It is. Even I received it after my interview. It is a very generic email.

Can you tell me how you know it means a rejection?

What he meant was that the email is automated, not that it is a rejection.

 

[confusedfineco]

I also got the thank you email so I'm worried !

Don't. Some things are out of your control, and many things come into play. You could be a much better candidate than someone else, but still get knocked out because of diversity quotas. Amor Fati my friend.

Fingers crossed that it's not a rejection. All the info I could find from a thread in 2013 indicates that its a waitlist/rejection.

How was your interview? I think you had it yesterday?

I just had it 10 minutes ago. It was enjoyable. But again, even if the interview went very smoothly, I'm not getting my hopes up a tad. Some things are out of my control

It simply wouldn't make sense to me. They are going to deliberate as a committee and review the entire application with the interview. As they repeated a gazillion times, "it's a holistic process".
