<p>does anyone have the specifics to calling MIT for decisions tomorrow?
Apparently the call date is now 12/15, not 12/16 (where was this noted officially? i think i read it @ ben's blog b4).</p>
<p>ALso, what # do we call to, and what time? Can I call in the morning?<br>
THanks!!</p>

<p>PS tomorrow, the wait ENDS</p>
<p>Ben said he would keep us posted, so I guess he'll drop by sometime late this evening or early tomorrow morning. But I'd also venture a guess that there are a lot of logistics to figure out a day early (with minimal time), so he's probably work that out... with that said, you'll probably find out exact listings if you check early tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>Daniel, are you intent on calling? I think I'm actually going to give it another day's wait. If deferal/rejection letters were mailed Monday or Tuesday, I have a pretty good chance of receiving one tomorrow or Friday. No real reason to cause discomfort to someone over there... "Sir, uh... we're sorry. you are deferred" <em>rapidly hangs up</em></p>
<p>hehe, joking, but how uncomfortable it must be to keep on telling people and people that they've been deferred/rejected.</p>
<p>"hehe, joking, but how uncomfortable it must be to keep on telling people and people that they've been deferred/rejected."</p>
<p>too true!</p>
<p>I might wait. Actually I will. Until I get home to see if I didn't get anything (my neighboring school got 2 acceptances today) so I'll check one last time, then call.. Hopefully I won't have to</p>
<p>from Ben's blog:</p>
<p>"What's the deal with calling on Thursday?</p>
<p>We have organized the office to be able to start taking phone calls tomorrow (Thursday, 12/15/05) instead of beginning on Friday (as originally planned). I think you can call next week as well. The number to call is 617-253-4791. We will be able to take calls from 9AM until 4PM EST. Please be aware that there might be some serious hold times. We will all be taking calls - but there are still a lot of you and only a few of us.</p>
<p>Can my parents call?</p>
<p>Usually the answer to this is no. Under the circumstances, we are making an exception. Yes, your parents can call Thursday or Friday, however they will be asked for very specific information about you to make sure they really are your parents. We take privacy very seriously at MIT."</p>
<p>Hehe. I wonder what they actually say to deferred/rejected likes.</p>

<p>"hehe"? What's funny about crushing the dreams of 3000 of the brightest kids in America?</p>
<p>agreed....</p>
<p>"Better luck next round, kiddo!"</p>
<p>I'd want to slap em.</p>
<p>Couldn't agree more (with Spartan Pho3nix and namkim)</p>
<p>cmon, you guys can't be serious...</p>
<p>just work on your other apps and wait for RD,
looking at the decision thread, the EA pool seems pretty strong
I bet many will make it through RD :)</p>
<p>I'm gonna be deferred...just trying to look at the lighter side of things.</p>
<p>after a while, it takes you to the voice mail, and then to the main mit phone number.</p>
<p>ditto... this is not working for me either</p>
<p>Same here... it's sort of unnerving. It's really funny how it says, "Your call is important to us..." lol.</p>
<p>Just got in: deferred.</p>
<p>At least I know now. Good luck to you all.</p>
<p>Yup. Definitely deferred here as well. It's good to get a definitive answer. I feel much less stressful now.</p>
