<p>Yes!! My son has worked so hard and today, he is so happy that he can stop writing essays for backup schools!</p>

<p>Good Luck to all the rest!!</p>

2

<p>So he got in? Congratulations! What's up with the "tube" though?</p>

<p>what biomath2 said</p>

<p>Tube....?</p>

<p>I think my brain is going to explode.</p>

5

<p>Congrats... please add yourself to the Official Decisions thread.</p>

6

<p>Have to leave the post details up to my son....sorry.</p>

7

<p>It's a tube? DON'T TELL US! NO!!!</p>

8

<p>That explains the large volume of mail. When Matt showed the picture of the mailman wheeling out "the last of the decision letters" I thought it seemed usual for 3000 pieces of mail to take up several boxes.</p>

9

<p>Cool--A tube!</p>

10

<p>well... at least i know... haha</p>

11

<p>whoaaa a tube!!! No wonder Matt said you wouldn't mistake it with anything else....I gotta go tell my friend who applied EA! <em>rushes off</em>!!!!!</p>

12

<p>Yeah...I assume some folks will be upset they have to go pick it up at the post office because it wouldn't fit in their mailbox.</p>

<p>Well...maybe not too upset :)</p>

13

<p>what u mean by tubes?</p>

14

<p>I assumed they are cramming the acceptance info in a tubular form? :P</p>

15

<p>I don't understand why they would use tubes unless they were sending something that required one... like a poster.</p>

16

<p>We like to be different ;)</p>

17

<p>Aaaaaaaaah. How big are the tubes? My mailbox is TINY.</p>

18

<p>~ 20" x 3"
and...yes, there is a poster included.
A T-shirt would have krinkled the more important contents. ;)</p>

<p>Overall, a REALLY nice presentation....</p>

<p>...and, it cost them $1451.45 for the EA admits postage!</p>

<p>Job well done to the MIT admissions crew!</p>

19

<p>pebbles that last one would come with the rejection letters ;)</p>
