MITES / MOSTEC 2020

Does anyone know when results will be released? Has anyone been in touch with them?

I asked them if MOSTEC was even going to take place and I got back an automated response that did not answer my question a few days ago.

"At this time, we do not have a specific date when decisions for the 2020 MOSTEC program will be released. Unfortunately, the MIT and OEOP planning process for Summer 2020 is not yet finalized, resulting in a further delay to announce decisions. We appreciate your patience, and apologize for the uncertainty caused by this additional delay. We hope to be in touch with you soon.

OEOP NATIONAL SUMMER PROGRAMS – MITES and MOSTEC are national programs for rising high school seniors with demonstrated passion in the STEM fields. Students must currently be in the 11th grade and either U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents in order to apply. Both MITES and MOSTEC are free of charge, and accepted students only need to pay for transportation to and from MIT’s campus. You can visit our website at http://oeop.mit.edu/programs to find out more about our individual programs and the eligibility requirements. Details of the application process for this summer are available under “Application Checklist” and “Frequently Asked Questions” webpages on the summerapp.mit.edu site.

ADDITIONAL STEM OPPORTUNITIES – If you are not eligible to apply to our MITES and MOSTEC programs, you can find a list of other STEM summer opportunities via the Resources page of our website (https://oeop.mit.edu/resources). Summer opportunities happening specifically at MIT can be found at the MIT Outreach Directory (https://outreach.mit.edu).

Please note: This is an automated confirmation that we have received your request and assigned it ticket number [ticket number] in our tracking system. Please keep the subject line above for future correspondence relating to this case.

Thanks again for your interest in SummerApp!"

@johnpayne, this is from the forum rules, a link to which you can find at the bottom of this page,

what a terrible rule

They just emailed me and said that decision would be released by May 15.

"We hope this email finds you and your family in good health.

When we wrote to you earlier in April, we had hoped to be able to share MOSTEC 2020 decisions by the end of April. Unfortunately, the MIT and OEOP planning process for Summer 2020 is not yet finalized, resulting in a further delay to announce decisions. We anticipate sharing decisions on or before Friday, May 15.

We know this news causes frustration. We appreciate your incredible patience as we navigate unexpected challenges in our typical operations brought by the impacts of COVID-19.

We also know many of you may be waiting for MOSTEC decisions to finalize your summer plans, and understand if you need to move forward with other plans that better fit your needs. Please let us know if you need to withdraw your application. As a reminder, when decisions are released, you will receive an email prompting you to log into summerapp.mit.edu to check your decision status.

Again, we appreciate your patience, and apologize for the uncertainty caused by this additional delay. We hope to be in touch with you soon.

Warmly,
MIT OEOP"
