I got my EA decision about 8 minutes early as well (although I got deferred). Does someone wanna check early today just to see???
RIP Hawking. That had to be said here too.
As for the applications, look at it like this: if you do not get in, you know someone else’s dream has come true and that’s great too :-). Also, if you do not get in, you’ll never think ‘what if, what if I had just applied’. I’d rather get srtaightup rejected a million times
@ski_racer Cool! What is your safety? Mine is the University of Amsterdam :D. I’m glad that I do not have to worry about getting into a US college a lot because I’d be happy at the UvA (Dutch for University of Amsterdam) too :).
@Saturn1 There may be advantages to memorizing the digits of pi ;-). Here, there’s a cheese shop that has a few what they call ‘special weeks’, in which the number of digits people know is equal to the discount in percentages they get. (No more than 50% off though). So if you know 50 digits, you pay half ;-). Isnt that nice haha. Pretty cool of them to do that

Hayo! Tau time!
Edit: Lol international student here and it’s already Tau time here. 6 hours to go.
@gigichuck hahaha yes yes same here. Tau time has passed. Decisions not even coming out on Pi day. March 15 @ 12:28am
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everybody!
MIT '21 here 
To everyone on this thread waiting for decisions, good luck to you all! Applying makes you guys awesome already, and no matter where you choose to go, you’ll crush it!
ahhh im so nervous
@tarekb22 lol. I thought it was going to be 00:28 tomorrow too but I just remembered the daylight saving time. So now it’s 23:28 still on Pi day. Yay. Good luck guys.
Where are you from @gigichuck, the UK I assume? And you @tarekb22 ?
@Emmi2147 Welcome to the club haha
I know it’s tempting to just sit here and wait for tau time, refreshing the page (tbh I do that all the time haha). But what’s done is done- you did all you could, and everything is out of your hands. Now it’s up to YOU how you use these next 4 hours. Will you sit and wait? Or will you exercise, eat a snack, catch up on homework, call your grandma? Either way, the decision is coming. It’s up to you how productive you are until then. You guys got this!! =D>
@Tomas1355 the University of Nevada-Reno is my safety. It’s pretty awesome.
@Tomas1355 The Middle East, Lebanon.

@anxiouswreck All I am going to do is watch prison break (again), eat ice cream and walk the doggo xd
@ski_racer Great safety to have!
@mlunghi The Netherlands
I am from France. Good luck people!
OMG I’m getting really anxious too!! I accept whatever decision the universe gives me lol
My safety is SUTD which is a pretty cool uni as it was started by MIT itself! Gosh I can’t stay calm!!!
where else did you guys apply?
@mlunghi I was accepted to the University of Michigan and GeorgiaTech. Deferred at Stanford and waiting for decisions from Berkeley, Penn, Columbia, and Northwestern.
How about you?
