<p>yeah, one of my friends got into Yale too - now she’s gonna brag/gloat about it for at least two months (albeit indirectly)…</p>
<p>eh.. my friend got deferred from yale through questbridge, and i think we’re about the only ones even applying to HYPSM schools in my school</p>
<p>On a side note: A UPS truck just stopped in front of my house - I got really anxious for a second…thinking that maybe, just MAYBE, my tube arrived before the online announcement.</p>
<p>But alas, they were delivering a package to my neighbor…</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>MIT’s will be on time, only because they’re putting it online.</p>
<p>Stanford’s is late because they’re sending out e-mails. Poor, inefficient Stanford.</p>
<p>At least both transmit the decisions electronically, unlike Caltech…</p>
<p>Yeah…PeacenikPie, how’d you do w.r.t Caltech?</p>
<p>15 hours and 37 minutes …</p>
<p>hey “it’s a wonderful life” is on!! best movie ever.. i think i’ll watch it to pass time</p>
<p>I live in New York and the letters haven’t really reached this part of the Atlantic seaboard yet. They’ll probably be here tomorrow. I’ll get an admissions double-whammy. :D</p>
<p></p>
<p>PeacenikPie - I’m with you on the admissions double-whammy <em>Boston w00t!</em></p>
<p>So when exactly are the decisions released? Is it noon EST?</p>
<p>how many nerds does it take to crash the MIT server XP</p>
<p>yep, so 9 AM Pacific Time - I’ll be refreshing from 8:15, at least..</p>
<p>Just an interesting tangent in relation to nerds: </p>
<p>Merriam-Webster declared w00t to be the word of the year! </p>
<p>A grand achievement for all of us. Though getting into MIT will be an even greater achievement. :)</p>
<p>omg, there are so many good people that got rejected from stanford this year…now im nervous</p>
<p>then again, it might be that stanford rejects most and only defers some while MIT defers most and rejects only a little</p>
<p>so are all of you also applying to caltech too?</p>
<p>just me 
lol we’ll find out tomorrow…</p>
<p>hmm well stanford accepted 800, deferred like 3000, and rejected 800
mit will probably accept 400, defer 3000, and reject 400</p>
<p>i cant believe its actually here… 4 years of an immature american dream may come true in 12 hours.</p>
<p>Stanford results scared me, too.
I know 1 accept and 3 defers. The one accepted was recruited for football. My, how we are all so jealous of him!</p>
<p>Anyways.
I don’t really know what to hope for. I know my interview wasn’t that great, especially since my interviewer cared more about my stats than who I am. It was a very odd experience. Storytime!
I asked him if he had any regrets for something he didn’t do or take advantage of at MIT.
His answer: he wished he had a different calculus textbook.
It was the end of the interview, and I was a little disappointed because the vibe on the blogs is just so different than what he showed…</p>
<p>oh gosh, i won’t be able to click on the log-in button for like half an hour…</p>
<p>Uh…I just remembered, OpenOffice version of my essay was too large to fit on MIT’s system so I had to send everything to notepad. No matter what I did, the first line of the essay would not indent on the MIT application preview. Wont/didnt hurt me at all right?</p>
