<p>So I applied to MIT RD and apparently the decisions are on the 14th, however, I found this out from a friend who also applied there because he had received an e-mail from them a couple of days ago. I didn't receive an e-mail from them and I checked my junk mail if you were wondering. So I'm just wondering whether its something I should worry about? I thought these things were sent out in bulk?</p>
<p>I didn’t get any emails and I am not worried at all. It’s just an email telling dates so don’t worry. I’ve asked others.</p>
<p>I shall be very much surprised if that email can be regarded as a likely letter.</p>
<p>lol… how is this spread across like 5 threads xD</p>
<p>Molliebatmit, who’s one of the most trusted people on here re: MIT, said she was willing to stake her reputation on these e-mails not having any link to acceptance/rejection. That should really be enough to close the matter.</p>
<p>ivyambition, chill out. :)</p>
<p>I mean none of us can say anything for certain …but its deff not worth being freaked for the next week. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Your email provider, through whatever algorithms it has set up, flagged the mass email as spam and zapped it.</p>

<p>I’ve received email mailed by both mit.edu and e2ma.net. There may or may not be a connection between the disappearing emails and the sender ID.</p>
<p>Some (all?) email providers also have preemptive spam filters that actually block/delete emails before they make it to your inbox. They can be tripped by a combination mismatched sender IDs (like <a href=“mailto:admissions@mit.edu”>admissions@mit.edu</a> with e2ma.net), keyword thresholds in the body, and other factors.</p>
<p>Most international applicants might not have received the email because:</p>
<p>(1) it was a mass email
(2) it was sent by a server (e2ma.net) other than the sender’s domain (mit.edu)
(3) it had some keywords that are often in spam emails
(4) it was sent as an image from emma (Powered By Emma | Emma Email Marketing)</p>
<p>This is all my conjecture. That may not be the case at all… but it might shed a little light on everything.</p>
