If you go to: https://decisions.mit.edu/, you will see the release date and time to be “Saturday, March 14 at 9:26 AM Eastern Time”.
Prepare your F5 keys, people!
Wait for the video. There’s a video. I’ve seen it. It’s epic.
Are you referring to the video when one gets accepted?
I hope I get to see that video on March 14th.
I suspect she meant this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjw9-E3_GbM
Those graphics. 
That is so cute, like Hogwarts via Gene Roddenberry.
Great video!
Received an e-mail from MIT Admissions this morning subjected, “MIT Admissions Decisions Will Be Posted on Pi Day.” In the e-mail, there’s a link to this video. Do they send it to all of the applicants? I was surprised to see that there are only 301+ views.
@StevenToCollege All applicants receive the email. All YouTube videos take a while to update on views, so they are usually listed as “301+ views” until the actual view count is updated
Can accepted students keep the drones?
Of course, but you are expected to hack it, using only the resources available in the average sewing kit, to double it’s
- payload
- range
- speed
I thought they already were going to do: 3.141592653?
This isn’t news, that is…
Epic video! Beats NORAD Tracks Santa. Thanks.
But did you have FAA clearance?
@rhandco People assumed that they would do a pi day release, but that was just an assumption until the announcement was made. MIT has announced on pi day for a few years now, but it hasn’t always been so.
4 days 16 hours 42 minutes 39 seconds left
I wonder if the posting time is going to be down to the second accurate.
Does it bother anyone else that the time was rounded in the wrong direction (π=3.14159265…; the release time should’ve been 9:27)?
@snappletop I think they simply chose the first 8 digits of pi (instead of rounding).
I suspect there was a compulsion to go to an even final digit.
If you ever round the wrong way, just say ‘truncation’ and everyone will shut up.
@snappletop
Not really.
