<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>Just as I logged onto MyMit for probably the sixth time today...keeping in mind that it is only 1 PM...I got to thinking....I really hope they have no way of tracking how many times someone has logged on to their account and for how long. My obsession would be discovered.. :P</p>

<p>Any thoughts on tracking....</p>

<p>PS. I am not just sitting at home checking the MyMit site all day.. I actually am working two jobs this summer...how you might ask do I have time....pff..I don't know...5 min here and there...</p>

<p>i don't think they track...because i checked probably five times a day and i got in.</p>

3

<p>umm, they have the potential to tell how many times you've logged in, and probably can tell, but it wouldn't make any difference.</p>

<p>it certainly wouldn't affect any admissions decisions.</p>

4

<p>how can the # of times you log on to myMIT affect admission decisions?! :eek:</p>

5

<p>So many kids log on... I highly doubt they'll bother to track over 10,000 students who take a look at it. Those of us from the '09 cycle were just as obsessive as you, so don't worry :)</p>

<p>I am a very important head admissions officer and I can tell you that anybody wants to go to MIT so badly that they check it 5 times a day or more, they are almost categorically rejected.</p>

<p>---an admissions person</p>

<p>lol.. admissions person at age 18. ok.</p>

<p>do not waste time on checking myMIT... as we did :).</p>

<p>Lol - I've checked it like 6 times today.</p>

<p>LOL - we built the site so you'd check it a lot - that's the POINT. :-) But no, we don't track individual users; there are far too many of you.</p>
