<p>i believe "MITEA12" is still up. well, the other three in the room seemed to have drifted off somewhere.</p>
<p>I'm running 5.9; joining public chats isn't an option, is it?</p>
<p>oh its closed now... for some reason. you should start a new one.</p>
<p>So I just dropped by the MITEA12 room on AIM to see who all was frolicking about within and discovered, to my displeasure, that there was only one silent 'bananafryer.' Whobedat here?</p>
<p>Haha, well sorry, I wasn't at home, but just left my AIM running...</p>
<p>On another note: W.T.F is with the lack of an announcement date?</p>
<p>i know, i'm getting kind of annoyed...</p>
<p>They're trying to keep us on our toes!</p>
<p>And I think it's working.</p>
<p>waffle, you should join our chat room :)</p>
<p>haha okay ^^</p>
<p>When...are...they....going....to....tell.....us?!?!? Ahhhhhhhhh!</p>
<p>(A little dramatic...I know).</p>
<p>haha it has gotten to the point where im wondering whether were just going to get the decisions in the mail on monday or something....</p>
<p>i wish! :P</p>
<p>No way, I definitely need time to mentally prepare myself, I mean at this point its still a dream, so if I just got it one day in the mail, I'd probably have a small heart attack....I need a few days to let it sink in =P</p>
<p>wow i cannot believe theres still not even any type of announcement...</p>
<p>Yea, to take everyone's mind off of it, lets talk about something else. Heres a question: assuming your accepted, will you definitely be able to go, regardless of the amount of aid you receive, or are you banking ( = P ) on outside scholarships to be able to go? Im definitely in the latter group and it's really a crappy predicament. I want so badly to go, but it would annihilate my family if I dont get a large amount of outside scholarships.</p>
<p>i think i'd probably go regardless of aid, although i still plan on applying to stanford too</p>
<p>jags, i hope you get enough financial aid and scholarships :)</p>
<p>ill look at the aid packages from other schools and also factor in how much i love the school.</p>
<p>I think I'll pay for it by sweating to take care of my parents in their old age.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot =). I guess im going to be paying student loans for the next 20 + years =P</p>
