Honestly only those who have shared their real names in the forum. I sortof like not knowing who people are - I think it gives people the freedom to express themselves without worrying how it's going to affect their applications. Our presence here and on the blogs is to help students, not use stuff against them. People often don't believe me when I say that, so if they stay anonymous they don't have to believe me and the purpose is still served. If that makes sense. :-)

<p>i know what you mean, there have been some pretty arrogant people in the princeton, penn, and harvard forums... i imagine it wouldn't be good if an admissions officer knew who they were</p>

The optional essay I wrote for MIT answers the USC essay (the passion one) almost without modification.

<p>Same here, altough I did modify it a bit. I took out a bit of the more technical parts of the MIT essay. I guess I don't appreciate USC's nerdyness quite as much :)</p>

<p>mmhm don't our interviewers know our decision already?</p>

<p>That's scary. I'm not going to ask him.</p>

<p>I keep checking my email for a possible email from my interviewer hinting at my decision... but I know it won't come :(</p>

45

<p>all of a sudden, i feel much more religious...</p>

46

<p>How would they know about our status already?</p>

47

<p>At some point in this process the EC's get the decisions of the applicants in their area. During the RD round last year a few people on CC found out they were accepted when they got an email from their EC inviting them to an accepted students social gathering.</p>

48

<p>I might actually get mine tomorrow!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!</p>

49

<p>I'm seriously dying here. Good luck guys. MIT rules!!!!!</p>

<p>

wow ben, you beat me! :eek:
believe it or not, i was waiting for quite some time for the decisions to be mailed before writing to you, and was going to do that today. got tons to tell. will do so now. :-)</p>

51

<p>I also applied EA to MIT, though this is my first post in this forum. I'm so nervous...</p>

52

<p>If you don't mind my asking, what are your stats?</p>

53

<p>Hm I don't see why we can only post a discussion on the EA board. I was a "lurker" last year, so I understand that just decisions might help. But I thought the conversations were kind of cool. What's wrong with a congratulations? And a bit of side talk? Asking for clarification and a human side of things? Otherwise, the thread seems a bit lame. The objective stats for MIT really aren't going to help anyone. We all know you need a decent SAT, decent GPA/class rank, and then intangibles and more intangibles. What's wrong with some decent conversation on the "official decision thread?" The taint won't ruin us all.</p>

<p>2220 SAT [760 M,690 CR,770 W]
Rank 1 out of 1000
EC: Math Team, Math research papers and conferences, awards for regional and national Math competitions, National Beta Club, hospital volunteer (over 400 hrs)</p>

55

<p>you're probably in, homebuddy</p>

<p>only thing that could kill you is your SAT score</p>

56

<p>atomic NOOO... if that killed him, then that sunk me</p>

57

<p>Haha, me too. In fact, it killed me then burried me! </p>

<p>I'd say your scores are well within the ranges. Ben said that anything above 750 is great. Also, CR isn't as important as you'd think.</p>

58

<p>but it's more important than you want it to be... so 2150 is the aim... gotcha haha</p>

59

<p>so if they sent it yesterday @ 2 pm ish, then can we expect the letter to arrive today (saturday) or wait until monday? idk how fast the postal system is from east --> midwest</p>

<p>Was it sent through USPS or a private carrier?</p>
