2014 MIT Early Action Countdown Thread

<p>A party sounds great! I would love to actually meet everyone. We could do it sometime during CPW, if we don’t want to wait for orientation. </p>

<p>This is, of course, assuming we all get in, but I have a feeling we will :)</p>

<p>haha, I’ll bring the silly string and confetti, ftw!</p>

<p>I’ll bring the Non-Newtonian Fluid</p>

<p>i had a dream this morning that I got in. I hope it proves prophetic :)</p>

<p>I can picture myself there really easily. Hopefully, that’s a sign. i can’t really picture myself anywhere else except Emory. I can see these two possibilities easily. Otherwise, it’s just blank. I just want Wednesday to get here!</p>

<p>i’m visiting emory in a week. (:</p>

<p>and good luck to everyone</p>

<p>Yeah, 53 hours O.O </p>

<p>So ready for this ^.^ I have this sort of good feeling about it, I guess. So excited, and I hope to see y’all accepted, too :)</p>

<p>I’m now realizing all the glaring weaknesses in my application.</p>

<p>I hate having time to think about all of this. If I get deferred, I know exactly why.</p>

<p>I am more calm than before. What ever happens, happens</p>

<p>I’m actually super happy today. Like, I’m completely OK with myself and what’s happening. i can help but step away from this and think what I’ll be thinking about this time years from now.</p>

<p>What seems like such a long time now will seem like nothing in a couple years. It’s quite interesting how perception changes with time. Maybe I should do cog sci. ;)</p>

<p>I like you and i don’t even know you lol. The way you think relieves my soul in the sense that the reason i opted for MIT rather than Cal tech, is because MIT has culture. And the word culture is still extremely vague for what MIT has to offer. But ya i noticed that everyone and their mothers on this thread destroy me when it comes to the SAT scores. everyone gets a 2400 and everyone has a 4.0 and everyone participates in a thousand engineering projects where they claim they’ve innovated something extraordinary that I’ve never heard of. But me, i love learning, and giving, i sound overtly “Gay”, maybe to the guys or maybe not, but i know in the area I’m from (Miami) i would be considered “Gay”. But i could care less. My whole application was based on the extensive time I’ve spent on soccer through out life, my Latin heritage, and how Brazil truly changed my perspective in life; their slums are depressing to look at. Well ya my parents came from very impoverished families, and i feel like i owe it to myself, to my blood, to use the knowledge and resources i have to help them out. But w.e My sat scores aren’t near amazing. only good part of my score was my 780 in math, which is the most common score for all people applying to MIT. </p>

<p>Well ya we’ll know in two days =). who ever gets in… hopefully most of the people on this thread, since to me it feels like the fact that we are actually conversing on the topic of being admitted and on MIT in general shows that we are the most enthusiastic about going there, thus, we should be admitted lol. I wish the MIT board of admissions could see this thread haha</p>

<p>Cal Tech has culture. In some ways, their culture is similar to MIT’s. It’s great that you find MIT culture to be a better fit for you (I do, too - I didn’t apply to Cal Tech), but let’s not write Cal Tech off :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m… confused. You can act stereotypically gay, but that doesn’t determine whether you are or aren’t homosexual.</p>

<p>I really hope all of us get into MIT. I think everyone who has posted here is somebody that I would like to hang around, and you are all very interesting people who care a lot about MIT. Best of luck everyone.</p>

<p>52 hours!!!</p>

<p>I know what you mean about your heritage… sure I’m asian, but first generation in america and every single member of my dad’s family lives in the countryside and their highest education is middle school/half of high school; i feel like I want to succeed to inspire my cousins that they can do better</p>

that is why i put it in quotes because for some reason here in the area i live, where everyone thinks they are thugs, will say this exactly “■■■■■ you Gay” i don’t use the word Gay in a demoralizing connotation. and I’m not saying they actually think I’m gay. its just they’re way of saying that im weird, different, or just crazy, at least in their eyes. Since only a good 20 people in my class of 900 actually take school seriously. So to them, the fact that i study, love learning, and have a dream to give back, is in crazy and makes me a weird smart kid, or to them “Gay”. which i am against them using it in that way but i don’t think its worth my time to try to argue with them.</p>

<p>dam all of you gys are really smart…</p>

<p>Do you think i can get into MIT (early action) with these score?
Reading-670
Math-800 Score=2170
Writing-700</p>

<p>Math IIC 800
Chemistry 770
Biology 710
Physics 740</p>

<p>Ap Bio= 5</p>

<p>Currently Taking AP Calc BC=A
and AP Stats=A</p>

<p>GOod luck to you guys!!!</p>

<p>So I thought I could keep myself busy with exams and stuff until 9pm on Wednesday…I was wrong.</p>

<p>I’m going crazy.</p>

<p>I don’t know if you all are in the same mindset but I see admissions as a crapshoot so I’m planning on getting straight out rejected and if anything better occurs i.e. deferral or the amazing acceptance----> I will poop my pants and run around my house naked in glee</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Sure. Though the evaluation process is much more complicated that mere numbers</p>

<p>OMG wildcat, that’s how I’ve felt since day 1. I applied to MIT with the knowledge that except by divine intervention, I’d be rejected. I have and will continue to consider deferal holy if serendipity grant me it.</p>
