<p>What did the letters online read for each status (admitted, deferred, rejected)?</p>
<p>Acceptance letter:</p>
<p>Dear ______,</p>
<p>On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the MIT Class of 2011. You stood out as one of the most talented and promising students in one of the most competitive applicant pools in the history of the Institute. Your commitment to personal excellence and principled goals has convinced us that you will both contribute to our diverse community and thrive within our academic environment. We think that we’re well-matched for each other.</p>
<p>You have until May 1, 2007, to accept our offer. Until then, we look forward to building our relationship and helping you to get to know us better. Over the next several months, we’ll be in touch by email, over the phone and via the MIT Admissions community at mitadmissions.org.</p>
<p>Because there’s no better way to get a taste of life on campus than to spend some time here, I hope very much that you will attend our Campus Preview Weekend (CPW) for admitted freshmen, held on the MIT campus from April 12-15, 2007. You will have a chance to visit classes, share meals and conversations with current students, and experience how people spend their time and live their passions at MIT. Above all, you’ll have a chance to meet your future classmates! Look for a new CPW portlet in your MyMIT account in January, which will contain schedule and registration information.</p>
<p>I hope this letter is the one you were expecting and that it brings you the exhilaration you deserve to feel. I also hope that you will take the night off to celebrate with your loved ones because you have worked so hard for this. But as a mother myself, I also expect you to get right back to work and finish up the year with top grades, since we don’t admit slackers to MIT and this offer of admission is contingent upon your completing the school year with flying colors. (Because you’ve been admitted early, there will be many temptations throughout the rest of the year to keep you from your schoolwork. Don’t let that happen!)</p>
<p>I hope you’ll agree with us that MIT is the perfect place to prepare for your future. As a member of our community, you’ll join builders, scholars, entrepreneurs and humanitarians. Together, you will make all the difference in a world that badly needs you. So once again, congratulations, and welcome to the MIT Class of 2011!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Marilee Jones
Dean of Admissions</p>
<p>Deferral letter:</p>
<p>Dear ________,</p>
<p>We have completed our early review of your application and have decided to hold it for further consideration in February. Please do not feel too discouraged by this. The Admissions Committee is very conservative in its early admission offers. In fact, the majority of students who applied under Early Action this year were deferred. Of those deferred over the years, up to several hundred have subsequently been admitted in the spring.</p>
<p>Dont forget to ask your Guidance Counselor to complete your Mid-year Grade Report Form (a copy can be found in your application booklet or on our web site).</p>
<p>In the meantime, stay focused on your life and try not to worry. We will write again by late March after a final review of your application. Hang in there!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Marilee Jones

<p>I know it sounds a little rude, but what does rejection letter look like? I'm just curious, so could someone post it on?
But I'm not sure about this, coz i know that everyone here is fabulous. so probably nobody received rejection. So good luck everyone!</p>
<p>"We will write again by late March after a final review of your application."</p>
<p>You can tell there's two different tones in the letters. </p>
<p>Admitted Letter: You're FabOLOUS....come to MIT, it's GREEEAAAAT</p>
<p>Deferred: Hmmm....have you been a bad boy? We'll see...</p>
<p>I think the acceptance letter looks the same like the ones in the past years. the word contingent definitely grabs my attention</p>
<p>lol... so happy Columbia's letter doesnt even mention submitting midyear/final transcripts (although you do have to).</p>
<p>Rejection Letter</p>
<p>Dear _______,</p>
<p>The Admissions Committee has completed its review of our Early Action applications and I am very sorry to tell you that we are unable to offer you admission to MIT.</p>
<p>Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of you as a student or as a person, since our decision has more to do with the applicant pool than anything else. This year we had more than 3,400 Early Action applications for just 370 offers of admission. We expect to have a large increase in regular action applications as well, so this year is truly the most competitive ever at MIT. Keep in mind that most of our applicants already self-selected and who, like you, are among the best in the nation are not admitted because we simply do not have enough space in our entering class.</p>
<p>I am very sorry to bring you such disappointing news when you have worked so hard. You are a terrific student and I do wish you the very best as you continue your education.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Marilee Jones

<p>How funny. I pulled up my acceptance letter from 2003, and it says almost the exact same thing. =P</p>
<p>"Dear _________:</p>
