MIT Class of 2022 applicants

at this point, a yes would official the release date today…

Thursday December 14th is such a special day. EA decision release + net neutrality vote.

How are people waiting for the decisions? I’m like checking the decision page and the blogs every hour and doing that just makes me more nervous and all that argghhhrhghghhh

To be honest, I’m chilling rn. I honestly don’t think I’ll get in even though I know I’ve got some fun things to contribute to the grand ol’ MIT mission. It’s been my dream school since I was eight, but I’ll be okay if I get rejected. At least I can say I tried and I think there’s merit in that.

Any African Americans in here?

I’m just trying to convince myself that I’m going to get accepted, not that that’s going to make a difference.

@inxight My S applied, but he’s not on CC.

Would you think that getting into Caltech EA bodes well for MIT EA? Anyone here get in to Caltech?

When did Caltech EA decisions come out? I’m applying Caltech RD…

Yesterday

How did it go?

There’s a fair amount of overlap with MIT and Caltech admits.

There’s a lot more people who get into MIT than Caltech just because MIT accepts more students, but both schools look for the same type of students, it seems like, since a lot of people who get accepted into MIT also got accepted into Caltech and vice versa.

I applied EA to Caltech and ED to CMU’s SCS and got rejected by both so I have basically no hope of getting into MIT at this point lol. I’m just gonna work hard on my regular apps and/or hope I get UC Berkeley.

@yuiichiiros All schools are different and look for different things. The application review process is weird and very subjective and works out in odd ways, so there is still hope for you. Good luck on Thursday!

@equality4all My son was admitted to Caltech Saturday and is waiting to hear from MIT on Thursday.

@Inxight African American here

@Inxight Black female right here!

Any international students?

@equality4all I’m from Canada :slight_smile:

@vik0likes0cs Same! What city are you from?
