<p>Last year someone suggested mass spamming Maite to ask when admissions decisions were coming out.</p>
<p>Oh god, Princeton Review email. Almost had a heart attack.</p>
<p>princeton review classes coming soon to the valley? yep got that too. Thanks for the warning</p>
<p>Np, ender.
I wonder what kind of info they’re putting on the spreadsheet. Maybe they rate our personalities?</p>
<p>Question: May I know how many applications were received?</p>
<p>Answer: Dear xxxxx:</p>
<p>We received about 900 applications.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Maite</p>
<p>I would also like to know what they put on the spreadsheet. I mean I doubt they can put entire essays on their so I wonder what they dwindle it down to. I would think it hard to assign a grade/rating to an essay</p>
<p>on the MIT website: “The typical RSI student is comparable to the very best MIT sophomore physics major.” ■■■.</p>

<p>oh oops i didn’t see the post before.</p>

■■■. My physics class was… well it wasnt very challenging. Maybe if they compared it to chemistry students I may have a better chance. I have friends at Stanford and Berkeley who say that their freshmen chem classes are super easy and just repeats of our high school class.</p>
<p>MIT hacks are the best. If my school were more relaxed I would totally try one in high school as my senior prank. Seems a little better than spray painting 2010 all over campus (last year’s “prank”)</p>
<p>I hope CEE isn’t snooping here trying to figure out who is who and then reject them :-)</p>
<p>24 more minutes left to the business day and no news today… hmmm.</p>
<p>do they typicall take more math/physics people than bio people?</p>
<p>Don’t know for sure…but I heard it was the other way around…more bio people. Darn! I applied or math :(</p>
<p>Business day over, and no news. <em>frustration</em></p>
<p>They’re talking about pink cells (on the spreadsheet). [Edit: Oh! I get it! To identify the girls.] I wonder if this is good or bad. I wonder if i’m one of them. [I guess that answers my questions…]</p>
<p>Curiosity killed the cat… I need a life.</p>
<p>That’s interesting that they’re doing this via spreadsheet given that the app was so open-ended/subjective. I wonder how they can compress things like passion of prior research or letter of recs into that format haha, but I guess they found a system that works</p>
<p>No idea, and the only thing that I really had going for me were my essays.</p>
<p>No rejection email yet for my child.</p>
<p>i guess we’ll all be finding out by the end of this week…i mean since they’re not notifying us via snail mail, we could even find out over the weekend</p>
<p>My friend received her rejection today at 11:26 MST.</p>
<p>It varies from year to year, but the plurality is definitely biology. Based on my rough estimates from my year, they take around as many bio as math or physics combined, and then usually a handful of CS and chem people (there may be more chem people than I remember; in particular, I probably just lumped biochem into bio).</p>
<p>wait today? i wonder how many received an email today</p>
