<p>So it looks like we’ve just discovered the 7th universal emotion - the “MIT pre-decision response” emotion.</p>
<p>I will apply next year but with those posts I’m panicking too…!!!First of all relax!!:)</p>
<p>Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg!</p>
<p>My mom was so mean to me just now. Seriously, my family sucks. I’m about to get my decision and she’s just yelling at me. I mean, save it until after. I don’t need anymore stress.</p>
<p>That, and she didn’t even care when I got into UChicago. I have such a great mom.</p>
<p>So I read Sleeping Beauty out loud to my brother and it helped a lot with the panic.</p>
<p>Congrats on UChicago! </p>
<p>Parents are just like that sometimes, it’s part of their jobs. Don’t get too stressed out over it.</p>
<p>@kitkatkatie: I got into Chicago too! I guess I’ll just go to UChicago if I found out I got a big REJECT 23mins later.</p>
<p>kitkatkatie Congratulations for your success:)</p>
<p>As for your mom I think that she is overreacting…!!I believe she is anxious for you too!!!</p>
<p>20 minutes!</p>
<p>Thanks, guys!</p>
<p>I’m just freaked out as it is, and she’s just adding to it. </p>
<p>I discovered that watching the colbert report is a good stress reliever.</p>
<p>Hang in there you kiddies. You will know soon. Good luck to all of you!!! I know you are dying to know. Just remember whatever happens either way you are all going to do great things in life. =)</p>
<p>16 minutes!
This whole day has been completely torturous. It feels like it’s gone on forever! and omg, so many people who didn’t apply to MIT reminded me that my decisions were coming out today. It’s like thanks guys. I didn’t know I was getting my results in 1 h 19 minutes. agh!</p>
<p>Holy moly. Did you see what an MIT adcom just said on another thread? They had nearly 6,000 EA apps this year.</p>
<p>How many people did they accept EA last year? Out of how many applicants?</p>
<p>540 out of 4681 were admitted EA; a further 289 deferred applicants were admitted RD.</p>
<p>[MIT</a> Admissions: Admissions Statistics](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml)</p>
<p>Oh, wow. My heart just sank.</p>
<p>that’s almost an 18% acceptance rate! not bad :3</p>
<p>thanks for the info Mollie, hope we can meet in Boston next year XD</p>
<p>10 more minutes. I wonder how long a game of bubble spinner lasts…</p>
<p>I’m apparently more anxious than I thought I was. I just screamed, and screamed loudly, when the sea lion showed up on Happy Feet. My goodness, Happy Feet.</p>
<p>6000 early applicants this year. :(</p>
<p>this is insane… it’s stupid.</p>
