<p>Now, I have found out the actual decision date and time while I was just logging in decisions.mit.edu. Here's what the site says:</p>
<p>Hi, and welcome to the MIT Online Decisions web site. Admissions decisions will be released on Wednesday, March 14 at 6:46PM Eastern Time. We know you're excited, and that waiting is tough - hang in there! It won't be much longer.</p>
<p>In order to receive your decision online, you'll need to meet all of the following criteria:</p>
<p>You applied for Regular Action or were deferred in Early Action (the system is unable to display decisions for those who applied in Early Action and received a "final" action in December - i.e. admitted or denied).
You have applied for freshman admission (not transfer or graduate).
Your intended entry year (as designated in your MyMIT account) is 2012.</p>
<p>This clearly means that we all will be getting our decision in next 7 days. My heart is pounds each time I think about decision. Let every one of us share our experience of waiting for the decision or may be anything related to MIT. Good Luck to all of us!</p>
<p>Just read this and you will understand why MIT is going to post their decisions on the 14th of March in 6:28 - I have SMASHING news! | MIT Admissions</p>
<p>I was sent an email with slightly different text, relevant to someone here maybe:</p>
<p>When decisions are released, access decisions.mit.edu and log in using the same username and password that you use to log into your MyMIT account. There are no interim screens, so you should be sure you are ready to receive your decision online before logging in to decisions.mit.edu.</p>
<p>To ensure that you will receive a decision online, please visit <a href=“MIT Admissions”>MIT Admissions; and enter your username and password. The verify page is available now for applicants to confirm their login ability and decision eligibility.</p>
<p>If you’ve forgotten your MyMIT username and/or password, you may use our automated system to reset it. Visit MyMIT and click on the lost username or password links beneath the log-in box on the right.</p>
<p>With all the stress of decision date – especially for a high pressure school like MIT – moving the time to 6:28 means students can calmly check their status at home instead of in the chaos of the school library. It was a wise move. However, I found the Nigel Blobsberry spiel over the top. I would have preferred a mathematical explanation of tau, not a ridiculous cave painting-inspired mythological tale.</p>
<p>That would cause all sorts of chaos and complaining from people in time zones other than EDT.
Also, 6:28 in Boston is 2:28 in California (which might be during school depending on the school), so it’s not just internationals.</p>
<p>i’d rather have it 6.28 pm, that way if i don’t get accepted i can just sleep off the sadness, if you check in the morning, your gunna have a pretty shhiitty day</p>
<p>@BasementDweller … what about nightmares ?? They r gonna kill me silently enough if I get rejected … If its morning at least I can hope to live for one more day :P</p>
