<p>dude! that is sweet ace! 
We should definitely have a party if we make it!</p>
<p>Iām a little worried that I treated my āsomething that didnāt go according to planā essay too one-dimensionally. I wanted to show that Iām capable of bouncing back and that the first time I experienced true failiure, it took a while for me to sort out my thoughts but Iāve grown from that experience. I dunno, just my tone throughout the essay (now that Iām rereading it) just comes off as very dejected in the face of failure, not too sure if MIT would like that</p>
<p>You know what would be a funny hack? Send the EA students an email saying they got accepted w/ a link andā¦ rickroll</p>
<p>Orlando, Fl!</p>
<p>and bigb14, that would be terrible! haha</p>
<p>@JDong: Thereās nothing you can do nowā¦ relax. :)</p>
<p>@Bigb: Nooooooooo! That would be terrible beyond all other terrible things. D:</p>
<p>Slightly cruel, but a funny way to reject applicants nonetheless :P</p>

<p>aw, thanks. </p>
<p>yāall are making me want to come to MIT. I wasnāt sure for a while (I have a lot of doubts), but now Iām really liking it. Almost as much as I loved it after the rep visit.</p>
<p>Iām a bit obsessed with these forums, now. It feels so good to get out a lot of the stuff I havenāt been saying (or that has been falling on deaf ears). Itās like a good emotional cleanse before decisions. i feel at peace. it feels pretty strange, but good. I think this is about as good as it gets for applying to college. I know I have somewhere thatās good (guaranteed admission to local uni), but I know Iāll get in somewhere out of state. somewhere. And I think having a good feeling of safety combined with a hope of an amazing place like MIT (or UChicagoā¦ 
CC Lurker) is a good situation.</p>
<p>Iāve just about convinced myself that Iāll be happy wherever I go because Iāll make the best of it. Anyways, I can always go to MIT for grad school if it doesnāt happen for me nowā¦ i just wonāt get that awesome brass rat.</p>
<p>on that note, anyone have anything to say about the brass rat? i saw one on one of the guys at the lab the other day, and I about drooled on his handā¦ I had to keep my cool.</p>
<p>Daytona Beach, FL :D</p>
<p>Orange County, California.</p>
<p>Orange County, California, as well.</p>
<p>Iāve made a point to not read my application again because I know Iāll want to change something but thereās nothing I can do now, so I would rather not stress over it.</p>
<p>Santa Barbara California,</p>
<p>Just 2 more days guys!!</p>
<p>@trf: me too. I havenāt even opened it againā¦ or printed it off. Itās all in the hands of the admissions office. </p>
<p>@Katie: YES. You stated what Iām feeling perfectly. I already got into my safety. Iām 90% guaranteed in my two other OOS schools. My UMich letter hasnāt come yet, but I am confident that I will get in. I feel quite at peace with the process now. Itās all decided. I canāt change anything. This forum has really helped me to get to this state of peace. I hear what youāre saying with the āfalling on deaf earsā thing. I have only told my parents, a few teachers, and a very few close friends that I am applying, so I have a limited amount of people to whom I can talk about this whole process. Thatās why I love CC.</p>
<p>you guys are all getttingggg innnnn relaaxxxxxxxxxxx</p>
<p>^^^^ most of us will get deferred/rejected. āallā isnāt the right word.</p>
<p>Or maybe it will be Dartmouth all over again and all of us WILL get in :)</p>
<p>since we all care enough to visit this forum obsessively, we probably have a slightly better chance than normalā¦i hopeā¦</p>
<p>Yes, I hope so too. Weāre not just applying to āsee if we can get inā.</p>
<p>@quiteVALid: then again, MIT doesnāt lend itself to passive application (ājust to see if i can get inā) like some other colleges do. most MIT prospectives are fairly serious.</p>
