2014 MIT Early Action Countdown Thread

<p>ahhh!!! i have a bad feeling though…</p>

<p>I’m so excited!!! :D</p>

<p>I just want to know and at least know that I have gotten into one of my “dream” schools and no matter if I get into other schools I can go to MIT.</p>

<p>HOLY **** IT’s TOMORROW NIGHT</p>

<p>AHHHHH</p>

<p>only about 22 hours to go. Less than a day and we will finally know</p>

<p>i’m hoping for the best, expecting the worst.</p>

<p>I am an absolute wreck right now. I didn’t think it would be this bad so soon. I can’t tell if I’m more stressed or excited, but I somehow have a good feeling about this.</p>

<p>I should be studying for exams yet I am distracted by the enormity of tomorrow…</p>

<p>^^ </p>

<p>“should” (as a student) be studying</p>

<p>should (as a human being) be freaking</p>

<p>Bleh, I’m so betting on a deferral or rejection but I can’t quash that faint glimmer of hope for acceptance :)</p>

<p>Same; there is no possibility of early admission for me, but I’m hoping not to be rejected.</p>

<p>I just want to sleep until 9PM tomorrow. Unfortunately this is not possible due to a multitude of tests and projects.</p>

<p>so I’m a student here now…but wishing all of you the best of luck tomorrow!</p>

<p>If MIT wants to draw students from places like Alaska, Hawaii, and Mississippi, does that mean they would accept a decent student early action just so that they would attract people from all over the country?</p>

Can you tell us a bit about MIT. I know the academics are stupendous, but I am having fears about all of that work stressing me out.</p>

<p>“there is no possibility of early admission for me”
Don’t think like that! I know getting accepted EA is ridonkulously difficult but remember there is that 10% acceptance rate and you could be one of those lucky people.
A friend of mine got deferred from JHU ED and he told me he should give up now because a deferral is the same as a rejection but I really don’t think it is. I’m trying to help him organize a baseball coaching reach out program. There are many children at the homeless shelter that could benefit from playing on a real baseball field at my school. I’m hoping these projects will both help him in the admissions process and get his mind of college apps hahaha.
I guess the point to my story is that although I’m hoping for an acceptance, I’m expecting a deferral but even if I get deferred I won’t give up on MIT because I know a deferral is just a second chance to show MIT what I’m capable of. :slight_smile:
Gluck everyone!! Approximately 21 hours left…eek!!</p>

<p>lol I’ve been telling my friends the same thing, but I know when I see the deferral tomorrow, I’m going to be the irrational one</p>

<p>@ aznjunior
I agree with you. I will probably be the irrational one as well. Hopefully that irrational side of me will subside after a few hours and I’ll get back to studying for finals, working on other apps and figuring out other ways I can show MIT my strengths lol :)</p>

<p>Hoping for a snow day here :3</p>

<p>If anyone want’s a countdown timer for the decisions, here is one:
