<p>I agree. I've always heard that you're only denied if your application showed that there was something seriously wrong with your app (ex. very inappropriate essay). </p>
<p>Quick question for everyone, will MIT post their application decision online or email it to us? Or will we have to camp out by the mail box come Dec. 15?</p>
<p>mailbox - they don't post decisions online</p>
<p>OMG CANT SLEEP TIL I KNOW I GET DEFERRED! </p>
<p>wanna be a balla,
shot calla
20 inch rims on the impala</p>
<p>I think if you live outside the US you get your decision online, because international mail is unreliable.</p>
<p>amrik - yep, here's what they did last year: </p>
<p><a href="https://autumn.mit.edu/%5B/url%5D">https://autumn.mit.edu/</a></p>
<p>That was for RD though - I don't know if they used the same system for EA decisions.</p>
<p>deferred is no fun :(</p>
<p>I can't believe how time is flying lately. It's already, what, three weeks until decision time? and to think, I have to do a calc final that week. :(</p>
<p>and to think... I have to get my wisdom teeth removed that week...</p>
<p>and it's the week of my birthday..............</p>
<p>hahaha</p>
<p>mine are impacted - i really should get them out sometime, eh?</p>
<p>Depressing thought...I was reading an adcom's blog (again) and here's what he wrote: </p>
<p>"It was reported today that we received 2,822 early action applications this year, just about the same as last year. It was also reported that we plan to take fewer students this year during the early action round than we did last year. In 2003 we admitted 438 students during EA; this year, I anticipate it will be fewer than 400. Last year, though, we admitted more than 300 students we had deferred from EA; I suspect the numbers will be somewhat similar this year (we don't set a target on this number). </p>
<p>We will go into committee about a week and a half from now, after all of the folders have been read. That's when we'll first start admitting the Class of 2009. More on this as the day draws nearer. "</p>
<p>ahhhh... 16(?) days</p>
<p>I thought I was done with college apps for a while, but then I realized that Stanford's deadline is December 15th! And THAT'S only if you're feeling lucky (they "strongly prefer" it if you get it in by December 1st... which I'm not gonna be able to do!) Arrgh. Maybe I'll just get into MIT and I won't have to worry. Bwahaha. Yeah right.</p>
<p>Oh my... guess i'm not applying to stanford ;)</p>
<p>Well, I'm gonna try with the December 15th...</p>
<p>good luck all!
I'll be in your position next year~
:)</p>
<p>lol thanks man, good luck to you then :)</p>
