<p>it’s kind of sickening to see a lot of people saying the adcoms should hurry up, joking or not.</p>

zrathustra:
If you couldn’t tell, your post was OBVIOUSLY not visibly a satire. In fact, your use of exclamation marks clearly showed that you were sincere and affirmative in your demands. You should feel lucky that MIT has a heart and doesn’t monitor internet activity to track who you are. But honestly, you’re insensibility disgusted many of us. Please think before posting, they’re are doing you a favor. They are not obligated to review your application, but they willingly decided to. You should be grateful.</p>
<p>^ Uh, what? For the record, I thought zrathustra’s post was pretty obviously sarcasm as well.</p>
<p>can we drop it? who cares whether or not sarcasm was used for such a trivial manner? does it really matter? we should all come together in a time like this and simultaneously freak out about decisions, not aimlessly bicker with each other over the internet. kay? kay. we aren’t five years old. it’s done.</p>

<p>Slightly more in-depth than the NY Times article.</p>
<p>
This is exactly why I turned Ben Jones down when he tried to convince me to take a gap year between undergrad and grad school and work for the admissions office. I like being the queen of CC – I can root for everybody that way. :)</p>
<p>Mollie- do you know if the new freshman dorm (I’m not sure if it’s been completed yet)(I think there’s a new dorm?) will affect admit number? I was speaking with someone from admissions this summer, but I cant recall what they said.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. According to this article: [url=<a href=“http://tech.mit.edu/V131/N55/admissions.html]6,102”>http://tech.mit.edu/V131/N55/admissions.html]6,102</a> apply early to MIT, slight drop from last year - The Tech<a href=“posted%20earlier”>/url</a>, the Class of 2016 is expected to be around the same size as the Class of 2015, but both are larger than previous classes. Maseeh Hall was completed in time for the Class of 2015, so this explains the discrepancy. More room= more admits! :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep. </p>

<p>I wish you had though! Not that we would have overlapped… </p>
<p>Anyway - news will come early next week! Patience, padawans.</p>
<p>Too much science to be done, anyway. :)</p>
<p>
You are completely wrong FYI.</p>
<p>In other news, eagerly awaiting a decision date!</p>
<p>I’m so excited! They must be close to done, as MITChris has time to waste on CC.</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>Look at me still talking when there’s science to do, when I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you…</p>
<p>(Couldn’t resist)</p>
<p>ahhhhh~~~really??? the actual result?!?!?!</p>
<p>it’s not by snail mail?</p>
<p>No. We do not send decisions by mail. Only Internet.</p>
<p>so only accepted students get something in the mail, tubes, not deferred or rejected?</p>
<p>Next week meaning the week of the 12th or the 19th??</p>
<p>Okay sorry, I apologize for what I said before.</p>
<p>On another note. I feel like decisions might come on Monday?</p>
