Dear MIT

<p>okay, whoever wants it, PM me for the link and I'll reply back. theleet, you're first, but you have PMs turned off :(</p>

<p>(Don't request it in this thread - it will get too long)</p>

<p>Here's an article about it. You can click on the card to enlarge.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.pclaunch.com/%7Ekayton/MIT/InsideAdmissions.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.pclaunch.com/~kayton/MIT/InsideAdmissions.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I wish the article explained what the "star" code is. Does anyone know?</p>

<p>Texas, we've discussed that here before and no one seems to know what star means.</p>

<p>heh, </p>

<p>under "Not competitive"
___AVERAGE</p>

<p>hmmm, if the E3 has the college board scores, how do nov. scores get on there in time for the committee? How would they be able to re-calculate the index that quickly, print it out, and then recopy the comments? I don't think nov. scores get on there in time. :(</p>

<p>Hey, are u guys sending in a research abstract? Also, do you know if they will even look at art portfolios and music supplements?</p>

<p>I wish they still showed you your E3 card... it'd be interesting to see how your application was viewed.</p>

<p>"Also, do you know if they will even look at art portfolios and music supplements?"</p>

<p>yes, I know for a fact they look at art portfolios - they just send them straight to their arts department (YES, MIT does have an arts department). I would imagine music is the same way.</p>

<p>Hmmm....I wonder how many items got checked off on the "Competitve" section of my EC card....:eek:</p>

<p>I wonder if they checked "average" or "undistinguished" on my card.... :(</p>

<p>lol, it'd be fun to get into the school and then see "undistinguished" all over your E3 card</p>

<p>undistinguished/average == not competitive checkbox == your app wouldn't be read == you don't get in. so luckily, that wouldn't happen :)</p>

<p>Do you think they've started making decisions yet? Probably, since the 15th is in less than 2 weeks. AHH! :eek:</p>

<p>Actually... SOME of us <em>cough</em> know for a FACT that the admissions officers have been reading our applications already...</p>

<p>Glad I don't know though, I've be REALLY unnerved.</p>

<p>.....................
What are you talking about??? Fill me in!</p>

<p>Nobody knows anything. I think pebbles heard from someone who talked to their EC, who may have alluded to something.</p>

<p>Eeek. Any predictions for the date we'll get the letters? The 17th? 25th? :(</p>

<p>probably will be mailed the week of the 13th?</p>

<p>oh shush, LSA.</p>

<p>ANYWAYS...... :P</p>

<p>What creeps me out the most is that while I'm sitting here sweating it out they could have ALREADY put me in the "reject" pile :( And i'm just wasting my energy and worries...</p>
