MIT seems like historically they send out acceptances in mid January around 15th January all the way to the beginning of February, with most acceptances falling between 15 Jan to 20 Jan, so it might be possible that no results are out yet. I am also wondering if MIT interviews everyone that they accept or if they only interview a subset. Can anyone lend any insight into MIT interviews?

Undergrad Institution (approx. rank/reputation in STEM): R1 Public State School, not well known outside of state (outside of US News top 100) Major(s): Chemical Engineering Minor(s): None GPA in Major: 3.59/4.00 Overall GPA: 3.72/4.00 Demographics/Background: Asian female, US Citizen GRE Scores: N/A, took but did not submit to any schools due to COVID LOR: 1 very strong (have done research with him for 4 years), 1 strong from older professor known in the field (that I TAed for), 1 medium strong from professor I took 2 classes from Research Experience: Almost 4 years with the same professor during school year 2 REUs over summer at undergraduate school Publications/Abstracts/Presentations: No publications, 2 posters, 1 presentation at award symposium Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Won award at national symposium Fellowships/Funding: None Pertinent Activities or Jobs: 2 industry internships at well known company in S&P 500 in ChemE related applications Ran mentoring/outreach program for SWE chapter at university Volunteered at STEM outreach program run by professor that wrote req letter Other Miscellaneous Accomplishments: Anything else in your application that might matter (faculty connections, etc.): PI at undergraduate graduated from berkeley <5 years ago Research Interests: Computational (anything really, but my personal statement focused on genomics and materials work that I worked on during undergrad) Institutions/Programs: MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia My list is ambitious, but I decided that if I couldn't get in, I would just take the job offer I got. Comments: I made outreach a major component of my personal statement; I think that demographics of engineering are probably working in my favor
