MIT Class of 2026 updates (no waitlist admits-- sorry!)

The MIT Educational Council just announced (~15 minutes ago) that sadly, there will be zero admitted off the waitlist.

Sorry for the bad news!

It was very close to 85% yield this year (at the current time).

I rly got baited by the subject line of that email lol

Maybe I should have tried to make a Babylon Bee style headline.

“Prospective students DESTROYED by this announcement.”

Anyway. The current tally ticked up a couple of people since last week but this year’s yield is still around 85%.

I’m also pleased that I correctly predicted two in the Class of 2026:
Luke R. Robitaille
Arthur Hu (of Lexington, MA)
(Yes, I’m seeing the usual smattering of national-level STEM people. I haven’t done much analysis into internationals.)

Congratulations to all who were admitted!
