<p>Yeah, guys. Once you log in, you’ll know rigiht away what happens to you after you read the first line…</p>
<p>the admitted lettter looks like something along the line “admission to Class of 2013” IN THE FIRST LINE and then, that’s when you know u’ve been admitted!!! xD XD</p>
<p>I can feel the collective vibrating
My son is waiting with the same anxiety level but he gets to know at 11 am! One plus for being on the west coast.
Yeah I know, he doesn’t know any sooner in real time but it feels like he does not have to wait as long - being that he won’t get his bum out of bed until 9 or 10! He’ll only have about an hour or so of misery tomorrow. Meanwhile, pragmatic mom is making other college visit plans - but I hope he hears what he wants to hear, and the same to all of you.</p>
<p>You know what MIT is the school I have the utmost respect for in the technological prestige sense (of course Stanford and Caltech comes close but yea its MIT). For years I have always thought for one to get into MIT you have to be some kind of super science/technological/engineering genius but then through reading more about MIT, I still think the same but many people that get admitted are super fun as well. I never dared to even think about applying to MIT until last year June. So yea, I am scared but MIT is just such a cool school.</p>
<p>@wild, I like the Stanford decision way. There is a huge space between the top of the letter and the actual decision later. This prepares you to check cause you can’t see it immediately, you have to kind of scroll down. At least for hotmail its like this.</p>
<p>This is the most nerve-recking experience of my life (and sure it is as well yours). I think I’m just going to try and convince myself, as we all “should”, that if I get rejected/waitlisted by MIT, I should not take this as a personal attack on myself as an individual. Yes, MIT is the greatest school in the world, and yes, it would be an AMAZING feeling to get in, but it is not worth putting ourselves in a position where we think “MIT or bust”. There are other great schools out there, and maybe life takes you where you’re supposed to be. In that case, I’m sure all of you will end somewhere great (hopefully MIT) and will do amazing things. The fact that you applied to MIT shows that you took initiative and put yourself out there to be judged by the best school in the world (you know it is). That alone is a remarkable feat. So we should be proud of ourselves for our accomplishments during the past four years and hope for the best. Good luck to us all! And I’m going to try to get off this site, which probably won’t happen ;).</p>
Everything is completed. I think the admissions officers usually wait until the decision-making is done to release a decision date – you can be pretty sure they were substantively done making decisions when they announced decisions would be released tomorrow.</p>
<p>I wonder why they don’t just surprise us and send it now? haha The whole pi thing is pretty awesome, though, so I guess it would be good to keep it that way.</p>
