MIT Decisions

<p>No, one of us, but I can’t say who.</p>

<p>Me me me!!!</p>

<p>@WhollyGlib: And Btw before callin colleges lowly, learn to spell…its not perdue, its Purdue.</p>

<p>poseidon226, my sincere apologies. </p>

<p>Seriously, do you really think I was trying to put down Purdue or any other college. Are you that dense?</p>

<p>poseidon226, don’t preach me about Purdue. Its engineering program has a very good reputation in the industry. I have visited the campus and met a few profs. It doesn’t make sense for me to apply there because of FA (I am not a resident of Indiana). I will get better FA in a state run university of my home state that is equally good for undergraduate studies.</p>

<p>Why look at Purdue man… You’re going to MIT aren’t you?</p>

<p>ha ha, thanks for reminding me. here is the [url=<a href=“Oops! Page not found”>Oops! Page not found]link[/url</a>] to my MIT ;)</p>

<p>CALM DOWN guys!</p>

<p>Just 3 days left for Massachusetts Institute of Technology decisions and 2 for CalTech!!!
Odds are better than winning a lottery. There will be many winners. Hope to be one of them.</p>

<p>gary, any decisions for you? WUSTL put me on waiting list :(. They wait listed one person who got into CalTech. BTW, I like your new location.</p>

<p>Apart from MIT and CalTech I am waiting to hear from HMC, Reed, Rice, UChicago, Brown and Harvard. OSU is in the pocket.</p>

<p>Who are your favorite profs at MIT?
It will be interesting to meet and listen to Noam Chomsky.</p>

<p>Nothing yet from US.</p>

<p>I am very disappointed with WUSTL decision. This year all these wannabe Ivy schools are playing numbers game to show low acceptance and high yield. I considered WUSTL and Rice as matches. Hope Rice doesn’t play the same game. Unfortunately these schools want to see ample evidence of interest. I really like HMC and Reed - my favorites in the list.</p>

<p>Noam Chomsky’s high on my list too :)</p>

<p>I wanna meet Walter Lewin!!!</p>

<p>^Yes, how did I miss Prof. Lewin. He is my childhood hero. All his lectures are special including the one in which teaches how to pronounce Huygens.</p>

<p>That ones amazing! He challenged the students to come up and pronounce it after class! I spent five minutes after that lecture trying to pronounce the * auu[\i] and the khh :D</p>

<p>what I hear is lewin’s retired… Though he is seen around campus from time to time… Would love to meet lewin and Eric Lander…</p>

<p>Some TiT bits while we wait:</p>
