<p>Does anyone have pics of what it looks like after we insert our mymit account username/pass on the decisions website?</p>

2

<p>umm yeah …Just open up Google Images and type in - MIT acceptance and / or MIT rejection</p>

<p>For those who don’t want to google, here’s my two cents worth from another thread:</p>

<p>From previous years:</p>

<p>Rejection:
“The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application, and I am sorry to tell you that we are unable to offer you admission to MIT.”</p>

<p>Acceptance:
“On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the MIT class of 20xx.”</p>

<p>Couldn’t find anything for the wait list. Assuming they’ll use the same scheme this year, we’ll all know from the first word of the letter!</p>

<p>hahahahahahahah … and yeah from the size of the letter too …</p>

<p>Plus, you’ll probably know your decision before reading the first word (assuming the pattern holds) because acceptance letters are bound to fill up the entire page, whereas rejection letters are smaller. </p>

<p>Acceptance: <a href=“http://my99percent.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2010/03/mit-acceptance-letter1.jpg?w=455[/url]”>http://my99percent.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2010/03/mit-acceptance-letter1.jpg?w=455&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Rejection: <a href=“http://www.vivekn.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/13032011_mit_rejection.png[/url]”>http://www.vivekn.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/13032011_mit_rejection.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Waitlist: Couldn’t find a picture.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. I didn’t realize that there were example of such pics on google images, silly me. So does the text appear right away? No flashy texts? That’s a bummer.</p>

<p>It happens hours before decision !!</p>

<p>This just made me super anxious. </p>

<p>GL everyone <3</p>

<p>There’s no point obsessing over it. Watch Real Madrid playing for the champions league, it will help pass the time.</p>

<p>I am watching SITCOMS … really helpful in these times !!</p>

<p>Here’s the ‘waitlist’</p>

<p>Dear ______,</p>

<p>The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application, and while we are unable to offer you admission at this time, we have placed you on our Wait List.</p>

<p>As you probably know, the candidates on this list are the first to be considered for admission should space become available in the class. As not every student will choose to enroll, it’s possible that we’ll be able to admit some additional applicants in May.</p>

<p>I know it can be hard to wait for decisions from colleges, and that this letter simply extends that waiting period. Please know that we wouldn’t ask you to wait longer if we didn’t have a good reason for doing so - each person on the Wait List is someone we’d love to see at MIT.</p>

<p>At the same time, we have to be realistic and note that there are no guarantees - so you should make sure that you have another option for next year should a spot at MIT not become available.</p>

<p>Please inform us whether you wish to stay on the Wait List by visiting waitlist.mitadmissions.org and filling out the Wait List Interest Form. We would love to have you on the list, as we think you are a strong candidate, but we also realize that there are other schools that you are considering. We encourage you to take the time you need to weigh all of your college options. Please complete the Wait List form by April 18. If you choose to remain on the Wait List, we will give you an update by the middle of May.</p>

<p>Whatever your choice, and whatever the final outcome, we thank you for applying to MIT and we offer you our very best wishes for the future.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Stuart Schmill
Dean of Admissions</p>
