MIT EA Decisions to be Posted Tuesday, 12/16/25, at 6:28 PM ET by Ceri R. '16
it's that time of year again...
I’m here today, accompanied by Tim’s very hardworking cousin, to announce that Early Action decisions for the Class of 2030 will be released next Tuesday, 12/16/2025, at 6:28 PM ET.
To check your decision on the 16th, visit apply.mitadmissions.org/apply and go to your Application Status Page. That’s the same place that you’ve been tracking your application checklist, which will now be turned off. Your decision will be awaiting you there, behind a button that says “View Update.” Make sure that you are ready to receive your decision, whatever it may be, before you press that button.
In order to help logistically prepare yourself, I recommend you practice logging in now so you don’t run into any issues next Tuesday. If you need to reset your password, just go to apply.mitadmissions.org/apply, click the link to Log In, then click “Forgot Your Password?” and follow the instructions. If you still need help after that, feel free to email [email protected] and someone from our team will get back to you!
Admissions decisions will be available exclusively online. Decisions will not be released via email, skywriting, snail telegraph, carrier pigeon, balloon mail, or intergalactic radio broadcast. However, we will be sending admitted students additional, cylindrical information in the near future.
When Early Action decisions are released, we’ll be here on these blogs with open threads for you to chat with admissions officers, bloggers, and other applicants. You don’t have to be alone if you don’t want to be.
Until then, I hope you try to immerse yourself in moments of joy and curiosity, rather than being consumed by the Waiting of it all. Hala K. ’29 made this playlist to keep you company as the time passes. I’ll see you on the other side of decisions!
