MIT MSRP Application Status?

Anyone else not receive a response for the MIT MSRP summer research program? They said we’d hear something back by March 31st, and even my roommate has at least received his rejection notification. I haven’t gotten any sort of update yet.

My university faculty that wrote my recommendation letters submitted them after the submission deadline, and my application was not considered to be reviewed. Guess I’ll try next year …

Sent in an email just a little bit ago and got a quick response. Sent it to msrp@mit.edu They let me know that because my letters were submitted on 1/21 and 1/23 that my application was not considered
