<p>Rejected too...</p>
<p>ACCEPTED!!! omg I am so excited!</p>
<p>PUT THIS IN THE RIGHT THREAD.</p>
<p>To all who were rejected, I'm really, really sorry to hear that. I'm sure you're all awesome and I wish I could have met you.</p>
<p>I feel myself beginning to hyperventilate every time I go to press the "Display Decision" button. Guess I'll be waiting for awhile until I calm down >.></p>
<p>Waitlisted. Does it mean something? Any last year data about waitlisteds?</p>
<p>1min.... Nervous</p>
<p>They're already up. Go check</p>
<p>Tsenguun, last year 319 people accepted a spot on the waitlist, and 40 were admitted. (Common</a> Data Set)</p>
<p>I might expect them to make more use of the waitlist this year than in the past, given the elimination of early programs at many of MIT's top competitor schools.</p>
<p>How does MIT pick students off the wait list if there's space? Does it pre-rank the wait-listed candidates, or does it re-evaluate them in May and June?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>MIT re-evaluates all applicants who choose to remain on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Matt's waitlist post from last year is [url=<a href="http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/waitlist_post_1.shtml%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/waitlist_post_1.shtml]here[/url</a>] (he'll likely be putting up a very similar post within the next few days for this year's waitlisted applicants). He also has another informative entry from May 2007 [url=<a href="http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/waitlist_2.shtml%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/waitlist_2.shtml]here[/url</a>], where he talks a little bit more about selection of students from the waitlist.</p>
<p>Waitlisted students can send in more supplemental information, if they would like to (and if you haven't sent all of your supplemental stuff already :)). Hang in there -- I know it's tough to be in limbo like this.</p>
<p>^ would like to know as well</p>
<p>where's the site I can check?</p>
<p>they don't even send me an email?</p>
<p>decisions.mit.edu</p>
<p>i think like 20 ppl got in from the waitlist last year....out of 500</p>
<p>Someone from my school got in off the waitlist last year, so don't lose hope! Ask your guidance counselor to call MIT a lot and appeal your case.</p>
