Ok thank you, I don't know if I will reapply anyway, good luck to you as well!

By the way, did they send the same e-mail to everyone or is it kind of personalized ? I don't want this phrase to give me false hopes "The Admissions Committee wanted me to urge you to consider submitting an application next year. With some additional work (or research) experience, we believe that your application would be significantly more competitive." Thanks and congrats to the people admitted there or somewhere else, good luck for the others!

Finally: "The Graduate Admissions Committee of the Technology and Policy Program has carefully reviewed your application for admission. We regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a place in the TPP class entering September 2013. Competition for admission was particularly keen this year, and I regret that we cannot admit all of the applicants who have the desire and ability to pursue graduate study at MIT. The Admissions Committee wanted me to urge you to consider submitting an application next year. With some additional work (or research) experience, we believe that your application would be significantly more competitive. We wish you the best in your academic career, and we look forward to seeing your future application. Sincerely, "

In the previous years, decisions were sent out in the last week of Febuary and first week of March. I know that a girl from my school was admitted 2 years ago: MS in financial engineering - research experience in economics and internships in project and structure finance.

Hi, I have applied to TPP program as well. I studied engineering, economics and finance in an engineering school in France and I am now interning in a consulting firm in DC, related to the World Bank's activities in the energy sector. About my GPA, I don't know at all (we have a totally different system in France so I can't really convert my grades), I just gave my French grades. My GRE scores are: V: 157; Q: 165; AW: 4.0. I have some more or less relevant research experience, generally focused on the energy sector. Good luck everyone!
