2014 MIT Early Action Countdown Thread

<p>also, page 42!</p>

<p>@kindofdoon:

  1. True… but you’d be surprised. I know of a few.
  2. YES. :D</p>

<p>42!</p>

<p>Also,
<– Houston :wink: go Texas!</p>

<p>Well all i have to say. One more day…</p>

<p>Just got into Chicago today! Certainly relieves the MIT tensions a bit.</p>

<p>Good luck everybody!</p>

<p>^^^^^ me, too.</p>

<p>I love Chicago. I’m def going there if I get the cold, hard MIT rejection letter. Which is likely. </p>

<p>I still haven’t figured out Emory… idk if I’d go there over Chicago.</p>

<p>So many OC applicants! ><</p>

<p>26 hours to go :D</p>

<p>@Katie–I applied to Emory, gorgeous school, isn’t it?
26 more hours guys! I managed to keep my mind off of it for most of the day! I’m proud of myself. haha ;)</p>

<p>Hooray, got deferred from Chicago. Anticipating deferral/rejection tomorrow, will probably end up at the state school since I’m not good enough for these schools.</p>

<p>/pity party
//seriously, though, i feel like crap :|</p>

<p>@heinochus, aaaaw, don’t say that! Almost nobody is guaranteed acceptance at one of these top schools and we’re all in the same boat you are, just worrying. And I’m sure your state school is full of smart students too!</p>

<p>@heinochus: don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>once you pass a certain threshold of objective standards (SAT, GPA, etc.), the application process essentially becomes luck.</p>

<p>I have 4 tests tomorrow and yet it all seems insignificant compared to this…</p>

<p>A little more than a day left! Quite nervous, hopefully I’ll at least get deferred and have to wait til April…</p>

<p>t-minus 25 hours 30 mins according to my clock.</p>

<p>Deferred by Chicago for incomplete application even though I turned in everything. :frowning: At least MIT confirmed that they have everything. If I don’t get in, I’m screwed. My only chance will become Johns Hopkins and random state schools.</p>

<p>Almost there guys >w<</p>

<p>Thanks @ smileenov and kindofdoon; I appreciate it. The immediate post-deferral sting has kind of worn off after watching some Community on Hulu…I still expect deferral/rejection tomorrow but I’m not as gloomy now. :)</p>

<p>@hein</p>

<p>I was feeling that way before I got accepted to chicago. I know it feels so sucky. I’m sorry.</p>

<p>@smile</p>

<p>I LOVE emory. My auntie is a prof there, and I’m really considering it. Any opinions on Emory vs. UChicago?</p>

<p>I’m just excited to have another good option besides MIT… I mean, it’s nigh impossible to get in. I’m hoping that someone like my last name and put me in the accept pile. I think that’s what it comes down to. What if someone was reading my file who had an ex girlfriend named Katie? I bet I’d be deferred then. :wink: Chicago was my half reach-half safety. </p>

<p>MIT is my reach reach (besides the ivies I’m applying to. And I’m doing those on a bit of a whim).</p>

<p>I’m just so happy that this time is finally here! Less than 25 hours left!</p>

<p>I wish to all of you good luck and be brave!!!:D</p>

<p>Best wishes:D</p>
