<p>Does this feel like Election Day to anybody else?</p>
<p>"Folks, seems like Florida is too close to call..."</p>
<p>if i weren't waiting for a letter... i'd probably find the irony in that amusing :(</p>
<p>I THINK I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!!! THEY'VE BEEN TRICKING US!</p>
<p>If... Florida and NJ have it but PA, NY, MA and VT don't, then they must have mailed the decisions from North Carolina! MIT's admissions office is located in North Carolina.</p>
<p>haha, wouldn't that be terribly wrong? Or even worse, MIT is located in North Carolina. NCIT?</p>
<p>Of course, I didn't count the couple of results that were reported for MA. Nothing wrong with throwing out the results that don't match, eh?</p>
<p>For those who got the acceptance "tube," how did you receive it?</p>
<p>Was it stuck in your mailbox, with the mailbox door open?
Was it left on the side of the mailbox or left at your doorstep?
Was a note saying "please pick something up at the post office" left in your mailbox?</p>
<p>o_0</p>
<p>Because I measured out the dimensions of the tube, and it seems like it's too long to fit in a normal-sized mailbox.</p>
<p>hey guys if you all are nervous, go to the mit undergrad site and read marilee jones's guest blog (its near the bottom....something like Post-Early-action thoughts). it is really full of wisdom and seriously calmed me down about this whole process</p>
<p>I got the tube in the mailbox. I don't even remember if the mail box was closed or not because I ran to it so fast, but it was in there.</p>
<p>Marilee Jones's outstanding blog entry is here; a thread about it exists on this board for further discussion [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=125004%5Dhere%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=125004]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>i just found out i have something to pick up at the post office. it's classified under "large envelope, magazine, catalog, etc"... I guess that wouldn't be the tube, huh :(</p>
<p>No, that would be the tube probably!!! and how did you find out? The deferral letter is in a normal small envelope........</p>
<p>i was panicking since the mail usually comes at 1-2pm and when i came home at 4 it wasn't in... but by 5 i went downstairs again (i live on the 10th floor in an apartment building) and there was mail!! </p>
<p>mostly junk from other colleges, but i also found the slip, usually reserved for stuff that my mailman can't jam into the little box.. it told me i had mail that i could pick up tomorrow at my local post office, the knickerbocker station (yes, it's real name). and i just flipped out because i never get huge pieces of mail!!! and now i must wait another day to find out what it is....</p>
<p>did anyone in NY get anything from MIT yet? or at least near the metro area..?</p>
<p>You got accepted, congrats</p>
<p>i didn't get it yet and i'm in jersey. prolly cuz i'm denied or something depressing like that</p>
<p>Congrats to the acceptees! I just got accepted to Caltech today and I can hardly control myself. I received nothing yet from MIT and I'm near Fresno, CA. Hopefully they'll come tomorrow!</p>
<p>same * :(</p>
<p>Hmm..
Maybe it is actually a beaver's log for all you future beavers. :)</p>
<p>heyo... didn't get anything today... central jersey nada for dec 13</p>
<p>Got my tube!!</p>
<p>Actually got it yesterday. Pa should all have heard by Monday. As with the rest of the area.</p>
<p>i guess that means i'm rejected :-( but no actuall word yet. </p>
<p>nothing here. nadda</p>
