--MIT Early Action Countdown Thread--

<p>omg, guys, I had dreamed last night that I got a rejection letter from caltech..what happened was that I was on my computer, logging on to my email account, and opened an email from caltech...and all over my screen, it appeared as a HUGE red "REJECTED"!! and after that, I fainted or something like that. lol.</p>

<p>but a scene changes..except this time, I'm checking my MIT decision...and my eyes were darting around back and forth at the screen to read that I've been ACCEPTED!!!!! After that, I screamed and yelled, and woke up. lol. I must be going crazy if I've dreamed those two last night!!!!! lol. My heart was beating so fasttt the whole time.</p>

<p>I wonder if both of them will come true when I check my caltech decisions this saturday and MIT this monday. lol.</p>

<p>You know, because there are no intermediate screens, I can just imagine someone typing in his user name and password, and then not be able to click submit. Finally, after five minutes, he works it up, and hits submit. And the words on the screen: Invalid password.</p>

<p>The tubes were not mailed out until a couple of days after decisions were emailed last year. (There was a glitch and they didn't go immediately.) Yes, only EAs get them. </p>

<p>Caltech has decided to post decisions online! Last year it was snail mail only.</p>

<p>Good luck to all, and keep your minds open to ALL the great opportunitites ahead of you. If you are smart and talented enough to apply to MIT with a straight face, you obviously have skills and abilities that will take you far in this world.</p>

<p>^^ i was doing astrology with the time and making sure it was a good "karma" number for me to press submit LOL... yah im indian, YALL GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT??!! thought so... astrology=cool lol</p>

<p>almost exactly 96 hours, you guys!</p>

<p>there is still hope!</p>

<p>96 hours of pure torture.</p>

<p>well, you and 4999 other people (or at least us crazy people on CC) are being tortured with you, if that's any comfort.</p>

<p>Although I suppose if it was physical torture, knowing that wouldn't be very comforting at all...</p>

<p>You know, I'm surprisingly calm. Sure, it's nerve racking, but wow, I can almost forget it 95% of the time. :)</p>

<p>I wish I had a mind like yours TBOL3.</p>

<p>last thursday - calc exam
today - AP micro exam
monday - orgo exam
I'm getting distracted just fine.
2 days 23 hours 37 minutes.</p>

<p>I have nothing left but work and key club and community service = i cant get it off my mind. This has been the longest 2 months of my life. ever.</p>

<p>lol, ohh mann, I just hope I get inot MIT EA soo badd..since I got deferred from caltech, just as the guy above me did.</p>

<p>^^^ I knew I was gonna get deferred. but MIT does affirmative action, so I gots a better chance. we both better get in here! everyone knows it's better than caltech anyway :P</p>

<p>I agree. This has been the worst month of my life ever =/ My grades have gone down in all of my classes. I'm just so anxious, and I really do not have a chance.</p>

<p>hehehe, Millerl1te, I totally agree!!! MIT's AA would both help us!!! =)</p>

<p>and I was thinking i was going to be either deferred or accepted into caltech.</p>

<p>man lol gettin in because of ur race lol... thats kinda like racing a fat kid in a 100 meter dash... no wait... 50 meter dash... no wait... 25 meter dash.. no wait... 10 meter dash LOL</p>

<p>Well, I wouldn't want to go to a university with no diversity - and i'm not a minority, least race/ethnicity wise. I do harbor some resentment to people who "get in" solely off of athletic accomplishments. MIT's program is utterly different than what I am talking about, I mean the fact that my school's average accepted GPA and SAT to Princeton is 3.4 and 1300. It just confounds and saddens me : (. But I know it builds school spirit and adds some sort of diversity. But still...come on, that is a tad ridiculous. MIT's way of doing things seems just; outstanding athletes should definitely be recognized, but not more than the incredible student.</p>

<p>agreed sir. Has anybody looked at the other decision threads today? The kids on Stanford got owned so HARD. like ridiculously hard. Now I'm feeling automatic deferral or automatic rejection from MIT. can anybody relate, or is it just me?</p>

<p>The Stanford board was painful! People getting rejected with 2400s! Holy cow. I gave up hope for MIT then.</p>
