<p>I think MIT emailed all of us telling us that the deadline was 12/16.</p>
<p>However, some of my friends said they got the email 2 days ago, but I, and someone else, did not get an email until right now...Both students that said they got the email a couple days ago are really really good, and I would say have a very good chance at getting into MIT (Siemens, state+national awards...)</p>
<p>So does that matter when you get the email? Will they do something like tell all the people that got accepted when to check the deadline before they tell all the people that got deferred/rejected to check the deadline.</p>
<p>Im just curious about this..they wouldnt actually do that would they? 2 days is a big difference considering that if they automail it it would NOT take 2 days.</p>
<p>When did you guys get your email telling you guys that it was on 12/16</p>
<p>Im just curious; I did not think about decisions before some of us at lunch talked about it + my friend who applied to RSI told me that they did do that for RSI Admissions (sent to people that got in first then to people that got rejected like couple days later)</p>
<p>i checked my email… nothing from mit… but I think the sytem was updating servers between last night and this morning because the layout of the site changed, and this morning when I checked my email, all my emails from the 9th on had been erased… but then then appeared later in the afternoon… maybe the email wasn’t able to be recieved at the time they sent it?</p>
<p>We’ve finally lost it guys. haha
I believe this looking for patterns that aren’t really there comes from a paranoid belief that everything MIT gives out between now and the 16th is a subtle hint to your admissions decision.
3AM seems like a time when an automated email system would send out emails.</p>
<p>i almost think it’s paranoid, but at the same time i’m having a hard time discounting a TWO-DAY delay between emails.
can we verify that those two people actually got the email two days early? is it possible that they said that they KNEW two days early (ie via the blog post)?</p>
<p>Meh, I wasn’t too paranoid about this until I checked with someone that RSI did indeed send out early emails to those who were accepted. I asked a friend of mine who goes to MIT now, and said that he got the emails when everyone else did. Of course, he was also deferred to EA where he was accepted…</p>
they’re still making decisions, aren’t they? so if they did it on the basis of admit/defer/reject, there would be some people who didn’t fall into any category… what then?
if two separate batches of emails was truly what happened, is it any less likely that the distinction is not accept/reject or defer but decided decision / undecided decision?</p>
<p>Okayy I admit it, I’ve gone insane. But still, now I can’t focus on my AP french final, and I have an 89 in the class and need to get a 93% for an A. thisishorrible, and completely the result of my own paranoia. but quite horrible indeed</p>
