<p>MIT OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS</p>

<p>Dear XXXX,</p>

<p>The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application, and I am so sorry to tell you that we are unable to offer you admission to MIT.</p>

<p>Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of you as a student or as a person, since our decision has more to do with the applicant pool than anything else – many of our applicants are not offered admission simply because we don’t have enough space in our entering class. This year we had over 15,600 candidates for fewer than 1,600 offers of admission, from which will come our 1,000 freshmen. Since all of our decisions are made at one time and all available spaces have been committed, all decisions are final.</p>

<p>I am very sorry to bring you this disappointing news, and I wish you the very best as you continue with your education.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Stuart Schmill
Dean of Admissions</p>

<p>I was one of 15,600-1,600=14,000 high schoolers who received this letter. I’m not very special after all… :(</p>

<p>Maybe sending Jack Bauer over to the MIT admissions office to expedite the decisions contributed to my rejection… :smiley: </p>

<p>btw Can someone post the admit/waitlist letter? I’m just curious about what I would have read that would have made me jump up 50,000 feet into the air?</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got in! You should be proud of yourself … you overcame the odds!</p>

333

<p>Don’t feel bad if you got rejected. Do you honestly think many people enjoy MIT?</p>

334

<p>^I would. I’m a nerd at heart and I believe all nerds should go to heaven/MIT.</p>

335

<p>ab2013, here’s the waitlist letter</p>

<p>MIT OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS</p>

<p>Dear ( insert name here) ,</p>

<p>We have finished the selection process for MIT’s Class of 2013, and while we are unable to offer you admission at this time, we have placed you on our Wait List.</p>

<p>As you probably know, the candidates on this list are the first to be considered for admission should space become available in the class. As not every student will choose to enroll, it’s possible that we’ll be able to admit some additional applicants in May.</p>

<p>I know it is stressful to wait for decisions from colleges, and that this letter simply extends that waiting period. Please know that we wouldn’t ask you to wait longer if we didn’t have a good reason for doing so – each person on the Wait List is someone we’d love to see at MIT.</p>

<p>At the same time, we have to be realistic and note that there are no guarantees – so you should make sure that you have another option for next year should a spot at MIT not become available.</p>

<p>Please complete and return the enclosed card by April 18 to indicate whether or not you wish to stay on the Wait List. We will give you an update by late May.</p>

<p>Whatever your choice, and whatever the final outcome, we thank you for applying to MIT and we offer you our very best wishes for the future.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Stuart Schmill
Dean of Admissions</p>

<p>@Fiona: I don’t understand why you were rejected. Ur stats are pretty nice</p>

337

<p>i was rejected as well.i dont want to go to school tomorrow or whatever.not even waitlisted…my other options are hyps and i think that i am going to be rejected there as well…</p>

338

<p>Yup, MIT would do something like that.</p>

339

<p>Why so many excellent students rejected? Do the math. X places available, many X applicants who could do well at MIT- too many well qualified students for the number of places. You will go on to have a great college experience elsewhere- and find students smarter than you there- even at your flagship U.</p>

<p>It seems like more relatively underqualified applicants are getting in as opposed to the what we would call qualified. MIT is definitely trying to reshape its image.</p>
