<p>Did you guys get the deferred status at 3:16? Or did you get it earlier?
By the way, EA, I also got deferred. </p>
<p>lol deferred as well…ivy league going hard with the deferrals this year</p>
<p>MIT isn’t even any ivy though 
</p>
<p>Here’s to hoping Penn doesn’t disappoint me on Monday</p>
<p>I GOT ACCEPTED!!!</p>
<p>@homozapien24 CONGRATS! 
At least someone got in!</p>
<p>So, as proof that a long-term dedication to science puts holes in your brain, I thought decisions were being released at 12:15, and I opened the decisions thread and was puzzled that there weren’t any posts in it yet.</p>
<p>I don’t even have a time zone confusion to use as an excuse – I’m actually just up Mass Ave in the lab today.</p>
<p>AdMITted. :)</p>
<p>Congratulations to those who were admitted! </p>
<p>QQ more waiting…</p>
<p>What are the chances of admission after being deferred? Should I just let go of this school?</p>
<p>deferred.</p>
<p>However, a half black legacy with average stats from my school was accepted. shocker</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy i’d also love to see some responses to this question</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy, last year about 3.5% of deferred EA applicants were eventually admitted. </p>

<p>My son was deferred, too.</p>
<p>To those of you whose application has been deferred - so was my son’s two years ago. We panicked a little and he applied to a bunch of other schools. In the meantime, he kept MIT informed of new accomplishments, an email here and there and a complete update when requested. He is now working his ass off as a sophomore at the 'tute. Ball is in your court now to hope for the best and work on your update or give up. From what I can tell, you will not succeed at MIT without hard work and perseverance. As with other challenges in life, @az2591, focus on what you can control and remember, many of those with rejections today would happily trade places with you.</p>
<p>It’s possible that they’re changing strategies a bit now that they’re admitting a larger percentage of the class EA, but in past years (i.e. not last year), about the same number of EA applicants were admitted RD as were admitted EA. </p>
<p>Class of 2018 - 612 adMITted EA. 164 EA applicants adMITted RD</p>
<p>welp didn’t even realize MIT isn’t ivy league
brain already left on winter break</p>
<p>How many people are deferred would you guys say?</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy There was 4456 deferred out of 6159.</p>
<p>625 accepted and 1327 rejected.

<p>Deferred. This wait is hard. And more hard work from now till March.<br>
Accepted in Purdue. Waiting eagerly for others. Really want to be done with this wait. It is too stressful for the whole family.</p>
