<p>See if you can pick out the stuff I wrote while I worked on Ben's couch over the summer. :)</p>
<p>What are everybody's thoughts on the site?</p>
<p>Very very very very pretty. Hats off.</p>
<p>Looks amazing! :)</p>
<p>This reminds me, I need to call the number they emailed me about my login being locked due to too many failed login attempts x_x</p>
<p>Speaking of which, I have the best login ever. When in early August I tried to register as moose, it wouldn't work because it was already taken... Then I tried Adam, and it wasn't taken! O_O</p>
<p>Love the detailed admission statistics!</p>
<p>the post from Marilee Jones about sending her daughter off to college almost made me cry. Does anyone know which college in Calif. her daughter is going to?</p>
<p>oooooooooooooOOOOooo</p>
<p>very cool site. The theme is fun and really fits with MIT.</p>
<p>Just two suggestions:
1) A 'sign in' box on the homepage would make it easier to get to 'MyMIT'. I know there's a box that says MyMIT, with a few options below it, but I think a 'sign in' box provides more of an obvious entrance. Whenever I go to a site and want to register, I just look for the sign in box, and then click the classical 'register me' button below it.
2) When navigating the site, say from the MIT Admissions homepage to MyMIT, I was kind of annoyed by the new window pop up. Same happened when I was going from MyMIT to the homepage. I kind of see where the web designer was going with that... but I personally like to have one internet browser window at all times.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I still love the site!</p>
<p>Well, I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen with the site in the next few weeks, but it's possible that Ben's planning to integrate the two -- hosting the site on mitadmissions.org is a temporary fix, because IS&T doesn't have the actual server ready yet.</p>
<p>i love the new site. as i mentioned in ben's blog...the entire design seems to reflect to mood of MIT more.....almost industrial, working.....yet still fun and vibrant.</p>
<p>I love the new site. The design, navigation, and descriptions really just have an MIT feel to them. Thanks for all of the hard work that you, Ben, and others put into it!</p>
<p>Man this is one of the things I love about MIT ... they're so darn helpful.</p>
<p>Detailed admissions statistics? I didn't see any obvious links on that page.</p>
<p>Love the color scheme.</p>
<p>"Detailed admissions statistics"</p>
<p>Thanks Mollie, I just blipped over that whole top row of links!</p>
<p>There's definitely a lot of information in the new site. :)</p>
<p>For my part, I keep forgetting which categories are in "learning" and which are in "life" -- although I'm sure that says more about my strange attitude about life than it does about Ben's web design.</p>
<p>Is there anything similar for graduate admissions - not only MIT´s but any other place´s as well...</p>
<p>There isn't a similar system for graduate admissions, at least at MIT. Generally, graduate admissions are done by department rather than by a central admissions office, so it wouldn't make sense to have a central site discussing what the school is looking for -- each department is looking for different characteristics in its admitted students.</p>
<p>And, of course, there's no need for any "student life" articles on a grad school admissions site, as grad students do not, in fact, have lives. :D</p>
