Anyone know? I know they say “mid December”, but that’s like a 10 day range.
Yep, they have an unknown number of applications to read, a long and painful committee phase, and this year for the first time ever, international applicants can apply EA. They don’t post it well in advance because they simply do not know when it is going to be. They know when they want it to be, they have a target date in mind in advance, but until they are well into the process, they simply do not know if that target date is going to be achievable. It will still be some time yet, before they are sufficiently advanced to know when they are going to come in. Then they will announce the date. The same holds true for the regular round. It is always “Mid-march”. For the past few years it has been at 1:59 on the 14th of March (3/14 1:59), so called pi day. But it might not be this year. The date is always based on how the admissions cycle is going. Nobody, not the Dean of Admissions, not anybody even in the admissions office, yet knows when that date will be for December.
Do they notify you the decision thru email, or in the MyMIT account?
I think it is December 15
Early decision notification is normally by 12/15 for all schools. Maybe a few days earlier at most
Through email or myMIT account?

Decisions were available at https://decisions.mit.edu using same log in info as MyMIT account.
They will announce the release date on the MIT admissions blog sometime in early December.
Hey, I just noticed that all those dates were Saturdays. Assuming they will release again on a Saturday, I’m guessing it will be 12/12 or 12/19 this year. They are allowing internationals to apply EA this year, so maybe it’ll take longer.
Do internationals have a separate quota or less domestic applicants will get in EA this year?
Internationals have a separate quota. Whoa, extremely competitive!
