<p>I am curious, when do MIT officials announce the RD decision dates? As I checked, last year they announced them on 1 March, however, the official website still says that "results will be posted in mid-March". I know it's usually PI day, but I feel safer when I know for certain.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>They’ll probably announce it this week.</p>
<p>They generally announce them about a week before decisions come out. (It is usually pi day, but not always – wasn’t the year I was admitted, for instance.)</p>
<p>^Was it before or after pi day in your case?</p>
<p>All the EA kids are strongly under the impression that it will be pi day at 1:59 PM EST. </p>
<p>Chris never mentioned another date when we were talking about it, but that’s all I know. Hope it helped!</p>
<p>My year, it was 3/15</p>
<p>Piper, did 3/14 of your year fall on a Sunday? That could explain the later date. </p>
<p>And Felicidad, that’s awesome. Makes me wonder if caltech will do something similar in the name of rivalry. lol</p>
<p>^ 3/14 was a Friday that year. What explains it is that Admissions wouldn’t have been able to get through all decisions before 3/14 :)</p>
<p>Did I once see something online that said MIT would not release decisions during school? (though I guess they did that last year)</p>
<p>^lol 1:59pm EST is during school for most people in the U.S.</p>
<p>Yeah it is. My memory wants to tell me I read that or heard that in a video from someone at MIT admissions. Even if I did I guess it does not hold true.</p>
<p>It’s 3/14, pretty much confirmed. While they didn’t announce decision date, the most valid source I have is 3/14 at 6:46 PM, according to decisions.mit.edu. Unless they put this there just to have something to put, I’m pretty sure it’s then. Oh well, who knows.</p>
<p>We can take the official MIT decisions website as just about the most reliable source possible. 
This is what it says:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s definitely for our year, so I see no reason to doubt it.</p>
<p>Wait…don’t get the 6:28 part</p>
<p>It’s twice 3/14 or 3.14, so maybe that’s why?</p>
<p>Did no one else see the Nigel Blogberry blog post? Best thing in the world</p>
<p>They put up the decision date post, and then they took it down lol.</p>
<p>While waiting for them to put it back up, read this, it is relevant to the story in the post =]=]:
