<p>"If the sky were to suddenly open up... there would be no law... there would be no rule. There would only be you and your memories... the choices you've made and the people you've touched. When this world ends, there will only be you and him... and no one else."</p>

<p>reflect on this.</p>

...hopelessly waiting :(</p>

14

<p>I can't even think about what I would do if I got in!!!</p>

15

<p>i would have enough kinetic energy to run to Cambridge to thank Matt and Ben and die of exhaustion at the gates of MIT.</p>

16

<p>how many waiting list did MIT give out last year? how many of the waiting list did MIT actually give admissions?</p>

17

<p>The "official" (Common Data Set) statistics are not available yet for those admitted in the fall of 2005, but for the previous year, the CDS shows that 524 students accepted places on the waiting list, and 1 was admitted. (And 0 admitted of 427 on the list the year before that.) According to this post from Matt's blog and this one from Ben's blog from May 2005, there were no students admitted from the waiting list last year either.</p>

18

<p><em>still hopeful</em></p>

19

<p>0 and 1? what's the point of giving out 400+ people waiting lists when they just need to admit < 1% of the waiting list people? why didn't MIT just give out, let's say, around 50 waiting lists?</p>

20

<p>HopefulDove-Maybe they wanted to be safe?</p>

<p>I think the more likely explanation is they wanted to kind of tell the kids that were wait-listed that they had the credentials for admission, but there were simply too few spots to accomodate for them.</p>
