<p>mollieb-yeah, that's why I was thinking the 20th (or at least later rather than sooner), because of the EA increase this year. </p>

<p>burnitblue-I know what you mean, I don't really care when it is if I get in, because I'll be too ecstatic about that, but the earlier the better!</p>

<p>I'm hoping it's not the 20th-I've got a hockey game very far away so I'll be gone pretty much the entire day. I wanna know as soon as it's possible to know! Even though I know a couple hours really won't make a difference.</p>

62

<p>ughghhghghggh omg im so anxious</p>

63

<p>I still think it could be the 13th. Although there are more applications, I remember seeing somewhere that they would notify us by the 15th.. since I don't have a link or anything this could be completely false though.</p>

64

<p>yeah centimeters, it says on collegeboard and such that they will notify us by the 15th.</p>

<p>so you're not crazy! mazel tov!</p>

65

<p>burnitblue is correct. i put money on the 13th.</p>

66

<p>mazel tov indeed! :) december anything-teenth is still gonna take an eternity to get here lol</p>

67

<p>so what is it now..exactly 3 weeks?</p>

68

<p>if it's before the 15th, it's around two weeks.</p>

69

<p>noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</p>

70

<p>ugh I can't wait!!!! no I'm going crazy...if I get in I will be the happiest ever and deck myself out in MIT gear...if not, then I'll be depressed until April to see if I get in then haha</p>

71

<p>^^that guy is even optimistic for a deferral... lol...</p>

<p>Chances of me making it in: 0 lol</p>

<p>My mind is processed in that way now lol...</p>

<p>Man i wonder what i can do to get myself stood out.. i think im gonna storm into the admissions office and hold a presentation about myself... that should be unique enough no?</p>

72

<p>How about moonwalking back and forth in front of their admissions office all day long until they come out and ask you your name? =)</p>

73

<p>^^I think they want Non-Teenage activities... moonwalking lmao would make them be like "what a teenager"... Mike Moyer Dean of Enrollment at UChicago and his book is toooo goood...</p>

74

<p>Honestly? I have no chance here and I know it. Applying for fun =)</p>

75

<p>I'd have to disagree with you there Ambitiousteen :P</p>

<p>I think they care a lot more about personality than "professionalism." Anyone can put on a suit and throw together a powerpoint presentation...</p>

<p>Not everyone has the drive to moonwalk for 36 hours straight!!! =D</p>

76

<p>yeah ambitiousteen, my new goal in life is to calculate my chances of getting into MIT or Harvard so I can cross register at MIT :P</p>

77

<p>Yeah, so I just looked back at my essays/app, which I promised myself I wouldn't do, but I realized that they were NOT as good as I thought they were. This sucks and now I'm SURE I have no chance.</p>

78

<p>Thats exactly why i wont look at my essays either
i think theyre awesome, but im afraid that they actually suck too. </p>

<p>look at this way: you're stuck in the same boat as all of us, and theres nothing you can do :)</p>

79

<p>centimeters-don't worry about it! I felt that way about it at one point too, but I'm thinking about it like this; you really wanna get into MIT, right? So you wanted to do a good job on your application/essays. When you were finally ready to press submit, they were there and they were good enough. If they REALLY had sucked, I think you would have known it at the time, and not pressed submit/kept working. Going back now, it's just easy to criticize everything and realize we could have done something better, but honestly, I bet it's not nearly as bad as you think.</p>

80

<p>man...I shouldn't be around here with fellow applicants...it just makes me want to go to school with you!</p>

<p>Tomorrow it will be 11 days, not counting tomorrow (I'm a forward thinker).</p>
