<p>Can anybody post a copy of the acceptance and waitlist letter. I just want to see what they look like. Here's a reject letter;</p>
<p>Dear ____,
The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application, and I am so sorry to tell you that we are unable to offer you admission to MIT.</p>
<p>Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of you as a student or as a person, since our decision has more to do with the applicant pool than anything else. Most of our applicants, who like you are among the best in the world, are not admitted because we simply do not have enough space in our entering class. This year we had over 11,000 candidates for less than 1500 offers of admission, from which will come our 1000 freshmen. Since all of our decisions are made at one time and all available spaces have been committed, all decisions are final.</p>
<p>Despite what you might think, the admissions process is not an exact science. Our applicant pool is more self-selected than most, with a very high percentage of top students, virtually all of whom have distinction in demanding academic programs as well as outstanding achievement in their lives outside of the classroom. We evaluate each applicants materials carefully and select those we judge to be the best match for our community.</p>
<p>I am very sorry to bring you such disappointing news when you have worked so hard. You are a terrific student, and I do wish you the very best as you continue with your education.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Marilee Jones
Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>Dear _______,</p>
<p>We have finished the selection process for MITs class of 2010, and while we are unable to offer you admission at this time, we have placed you on our Wait List.</p>
<p>As you probably know, the candidates on this list are the first to be considered for admission should space become available in the class. As not all of those admitted will choose to enroll, its possible that well be able to admit some additional applicants in May.</p>
<p>I know it is stressful to wait for decisions from colleges, and that this letter simply extends that waiting period. Im sorry that the Wait List process cant be a quicker one. I do want you to know that we wouldnt ask you to wait another minute if we didnt have a good reason for doing so.</p>
<p>Every single person on the Wait List is someone wed love to see at MIT. We were able to admit just 13% of the strongest applicant pool in MITs history, and consequently there were decisions that left us heartbroken so believe me when I tell you that we share your hope.</p>
<p>At the same time, we have to be realistic and note that there are no guarantees so you should make sure that you have another option for next year should a spot at MIT not become available.</p>
<p>You'll soon receive a card via postal mail asking you to indicate whether or not you wish to stay on the Wait List. Please complete and return it by April 21. We will let you know how things look by late May.</p>
<p>Whatever your choice, and whatever the final outcome, we think you are terrific and we offer you our very best wishes for the future.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Marilee Jones
Dean of Admissions</p>

<p>Deferred... now accepted. I am very thankful, beyond words really.</p>
<p>The decision just gets harder by the minute.</p>
<p>Dear XXXXX,</p>
<p>On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the MIT Class of 2010. You were identified as one of the most talented and promising students in one of MIT's most competitive applicant pools ever. Your commitment to personal excellence makes you stand out as someone who will thrive within our academic environment as well as contribute to our diverse community. At MIT, you join kindred spirits: scholars, builders, entrepreneurs, and humanitarians. We believe that you and MIT are very well matched for each other.</p>
<p>You'll have offers from many fine schools, but we hope that you'll choose to enroll at MIT. The deadline to accept our offer is May 1, and you'll soon receive a reply form via postal mail. Between now and then, though, we look forward to building our relationship with you so you can get to know us better. Over the next several months, we'll be in touch by email, over the phone and via your MyMIT portal account. If you have applied for financial aid, youll soon receive correspondence from that office as well. And click here for a list of local Admitted Student Parties, happening all over the world.</p>
<p>Many of our students believe that the campus visit experience was the deciding factor in their choice to enroll at MIT. Therefore, we'd love to have you be our guest for Campus Preview Weekend (CPW), held on the MIT campus from April 6 through 9, 2006. CPW is an excellent way to experience MIT student life firsthand. You will go to classes, eat the food, listen to hallway conversations, and meet your future classmates. We encourage your parents to attend as well.</p>
<p>If you can't come to CPW, please try to visit campus before May 1. To make arrangements to stay overnight with an undergraduate host, complete the online request form on the MyMIT website or just call the Office of Admissions at (617) 253-4791. If you are unable to visit the campus but are eager to get to know MIT, you'll have the chance to speak with a current undergraduate soon; an MIT student will be calling you in April.</p>
<p>I hope this letter is the one you were expecting and that it brings you the exhilaration you deserve to feel. I also hope that you will take the night off to celebrate with your loved ones. But as a mother, I expect you to get right back to work and finish up the year with top grades, since we don't admit slackers to MIT and this offer of admission is contingent upon your successful completion of the school year. No senior slump allowed!</p>
<p>Finally, I hope you'll agree with us that MIT is the perfect place to prepare you for your future role in a world that badly needs you. Congratulations and welcome to the MIT Class of 2010. I look forward to seeing you on campus.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Marilee Jones
