MIT Media Lab 2026

Is it just me, or did anyone else not get any views/hits on their live domain portfolio yet? I swear, if it’s just me, I want to call them liars for “we look at applications holistically” because that’s just bs if I’m rejected… I’m not trying to be egotistical, I’m just frustrated and confused that no portfolio views is a slippery slope to rejection. And i know that I included the correct live domain into my app’s portfolio section. Sorry for the rant 🫠😭

Same here, no Portfolio view,s and when I asked them a few things, they told me they review holistically, but also one insider phd told me that many applications are filtered by there phd students, and the PI dont even look at them not with every grup but many does this, therefore the PhD may or may not have looked at the portfolio and rejected straight outright the application.

Damn, that’s bogus. Like at least glance at the portfolio since you require it. 😑😵‍💫

The admissions timeline provided on the MIT media lab website for MAS says offers should be going out starting in a couple of days, so until then I'm telling myself I shouldn't worry if I haven't heard back. https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/admissions-timeline/#:~:text=February 25%2C 2026%3A Admission decisions,MAS Graduate Program

I know that decisions come out soon, but did you receive an interview at all for OTF? I know two others besides myself that applied for OTF but we haven’t gotten any interviews 🫠

Less than 24 hours until decisions come out. Best of luck, everyone! And congrats if you get admitted!
