<p>@cheerios: Yeah, this school, considering the stress associated with it, seems pretty chill at times. Them sending the video kind of sums up why I wanna go there. XD</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’m gonna make it… [imgur:</a> the simple image sharer](<a href=“http://imgur.com/haskB]imgur:”>Imgur: The magic of the Internet)</p>
<p>asymptotes!!!</p>
<p>According to Chris LaBounty [url="<a href="http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/mit-ea-decisions-to-be-posted-saturday-12-15-at-1215-pm-est#comment-732689157"]here[/url">http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/mit-ea-decisions-to-be-posted-saturday-12-15-at-1215-pm-est#comment-732689157"]here[/url</a>], MIT received over 6500 EA applications this year, up from 6008 last year, for an ~8% increase. This was a bit surprising to me considering that Harvard and Princeton EA apps each rose over 10% this year (following their reinstatements last year), but I guess MIT’s strong numbers are a testament to the ever-rising profile and popularity of MIT!</p>
<p>If anybody wants to start the EA results thread and/or discussion thread, I will use my magical mod powers to sticky them.</p>
<p>(Of course, if you guys want to keep this as the decisions discussion thread, that’s great too, and I could sticky this thread!)</p>
<p>Yeah can you sticky this please? And a decisions thread would be awesomeeeee OMG ITS SO CLOSE IVE BEEN STARING AT THE COUNTDOWN FOR 30 HOURS.</p>
<p>i created a results page… can people make sure the template works?</p>

<p>Sorry! I stickied the first one I saw. Want to write a post of wisdom and advice for the ages? I’ll whoosh it into the thread, even though it’s closed. :)</p>
<p>should something be added about it not being a commenting thread, and just posting results? i saw that on last year’s</p>
<p>I can put something in. I hesitated, because I didn’t want to come off as too grumpy. I hate when people chat in no-chat threads.</p>
<p>could you whoosh this part in as a quote from me? (:
</p>
<p>@Lanayru now we go down in history!!
its almost like it doesnt matter if we get in
at least thats what ill be telling myself on 12/15 at 12:16</p>
<p>Uhhhhh guys I just filled out the whole results post your stats thing… Oh god… I’m not going to make it. All that’s left is to pick one at the top…</p>
<p>@MDHopeful: yeah, it’ll be amazing to tell people, “Hey, I started the MIT class of '17 thread!” We are now expert formatters 
It will/would be totally awk to not get in, but the 2016 thread-starter was in the same position, I think. (Or s/he forgot to change the location.)</p>
<p>(And thanks mollie!)</p>
<p>Wow Mollie, your stats are almost insanely similar to mine… only I went the more physics/math route with my courseload, while you seemed to go with more social science/english/language.
Seriously though, my class rank, ECs, and course difficulty are all very similar to yours… this is getting my hopes up. Stop it. XD
EDIT: If those ARE your stats and not just a copypasta from a standard submission or something… still. =P</p>
<p>haha what i feel like my decisions will be

<p>Guys just relax. Go watch the Hobbit when it comes out on Dec 14. Have marathon of your favorite TV show. That’s what I’ve been doing. Parks and Rec, and Community are so funny.</p>
