Do you mean Feb 26?

Also – the Admissions Timeline website (https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/admissions-timeline/) says decisions are emailed on March 1. Does anyone know if that means on March 1 or by March 1?

The Website mentions March 1 will be the day when they send out decisions via email. I didn't have an interview scheduled yet by the Fluid interfaces and Tangible Media Group, although I had multiple visits on my portfolio. I am kinda feeling anxious at the moment.

I didn't indicate TMG/FI in my application but emailed the PIs anyway. TMG admin replied to me saying they are still reviewing applications, after which will send out interviews to selected candidates later. FI did not reply. But I did get some visits to my portfolio, whose link I included in my email. So I feel like if they were impressed it shouldn't have taken this long...

May I know when you got the reply from TMG?

Just got an email I've been wait-listed.

edit: I did not have a formal interview. I happened to meet POI a few times in December and talked about being a student, so we have had what is equivalent to informal interviews, but they were unplanned and unscheduled.

And here I've been furiously checking for news thinking it'd make me feel less anxious...

 

[crazycheese8]

I wonder why they sent out waitlist notifications before everything else?? Furiously refreshing my email now...

[theyolkandthelamb]

Waitlisted. PJ.

[anxiousgradstudent]

[crazycheese8]

Where did u get your results? The application portal or did u received an email?

[bounty]

people on the forum started to receive emails? I am not sure where we are 

To the people getting accepted, is the email from MAS or from the PI ?

[Doomnometron]

Anxiety to crushing defeat. Rejected. It came through the email address I listed in my application.

Good luck everybody.

Just got my acceptance an hour ago! I had 2 interviews with the entire lab+PI, and 4 assignments

[-dom-]

I have not received anything as now. Anyone still waiting?

[bounty]

Congrats to all receiving good news! Curious if any of these acceptances are from PJ. No matter what happens, keep making great work everyone.

[Warsaw]

Rejected. Congrats to everyone who got accepted.

I wish I could leave something for future applicants: don't simply believe their claim that they are weighing mostly on your portfolio. You may still get filtered by your undergrad institution, GPA, recommendation letters, and get zero portfolio visits throughout the game. Since you have no way to report your GRE, this time you have no way to compensate for your academic background. It may also be better if you have a chance to visit the lab in person and build some connections - without connections, it seems much harder to get in, or even simply get a glance at your folder.
