Pmlee hasn't replied to this forum for a while. I wonder how it went for him.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, sorry about that. I do read through the thread almost every day though. I still haven't gotten my letter either, same boat as you guys.</p>
<p>XiΞiX, you should go to MITES.</p>
<p>It's almost an E, but missing the vertical line. It's... just... Ξ</p>
<p>Narcissa! I was looking at your stats profile - OMG! You're incredible. A junior, yes? You make me look bad.</p>
<p>Maybe you should go to YESS it was the hardest to get into. Whatever you do you're opening to waitlist spots. You didn't already have to reply to SSP</p>
<p>I didn't get the materials through the mail yet (I turned in my application two days before the final deadline, sent it 2nd day). i wish it comes soon, their financial aid would definitly decide where I'm going.</p>
<p>I got accepted.. there's been many changes to what i've done since i turned it in, and i'm almost done with calc so i feel prepared to be there this summer... So add me to this list!
It was funny cuz i have a 5th period home period, and i came home to rush the mail man, and surely enough he gave me the envelope! it was cool, but somehow a lot of people at my school knew like i didn't even tell my principal that I applied and when i got back onto campus for 6th period he came up to me and said congratulations when i hadn't told anyone yet.....</p>
<p>To who ever this calculus09 person is YOU ARE A JERK.
and what's it's to you?
Sorry kidd but unless you copyright that anyone can say it all they want.</p>
<p>yea, the calculus guy needs a chill pill, did he even apply to MITES?</p>
<p>But anyways, congrats sakura! I knew you'd get in! Now if only mine could come...tomorrow. If it doesn't come tomorrow I might just go nuts. I've been anxiously waiting since Friday for the mail...sometimes I just want to email MITES and ask if I'm in.... I know one thing though, my school cares zilch whether or not I got in, it doesn't even know that I applied. My principal definitely won't do that....</p>
<p>Ouraqt: but you got into MITES! and .. ur taiwanese? im taiwanese too ^_^ maybei should have applied but I didn't think being taiwanese was good. Plus I am not financially...disadvantaged in any way, according to colleges.</p>
<p>I think that hardly anyone who applied qualifies under all of their standards.
Like I'm a URM, but I don't make it financially by a lot.....</p>
<p>Thanks Izhang I'm sure you're going to get in too ^.^</p>
<p>Ouraqt I live in Central Cali. (sort of) in Santa Cruz like 2 hours south of San Fran. and you?
Oh if you leave out of San Fran we might be able to leave together!</p>
<p>Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>Still waiting too, pmlee1, which state do you live.</p>
<p>If everything was sent on Thursday (which seemed to be the consensus), there should be people with rejection letters. I think some people are not being honest here...</p>
<p>I really don't know. But there aren't that much MITES applicants here. And if you take out the 4-5 flyins, I doubt that there's even 15 applicants. And of those 15, not that many even got the letter it seems. So it just might be a coincidence and because acceptance rate is supposedly twice as higher this year.</p>
<p>Even accounting for the small sample size, it is statistically unlikely everyone here (even the lurkers) got accepted.</p>
<p>Unless of course, students from this forum are better the average applicants. ;)</p>
<p>Yes, that's another thing that I thought about. Students who care enough to even lurk on this forum are obviously more serious about MITES and therefore have better applications(but this doesn't go for everyone).</p>
<p>hey friedrice, where do u live?
maybe the mail will come tomorrow.
Since somebody here said 400 ppl, it seems smaller than last year's applicant group (someone said the numbers on another past thread--don't remember which one). So the acceptance rate here could be higher than last year (which would be good news for us!)</p>
<p>gosh. i officially hate rice university. lol.
i got a huge white envelope from them today & i thought it was for mites. :(
yeah. i haven't received anything yet either.</p>
<p>I think I got the same envelope and had the same reaction too!</p>
<p>I live in Washington State. It's strange the some people from California already got something on Saturday and I still don't have anything.</p>

</p>
<p>Well, we've been saying that for the last two weeks.</p>
<p>This is true. Seriously, I will not be surprised if it doesn't even come tomorrow. I've been let down that many days that I almost don't expect it anymore.</p>
<p>Well you guys just keep your hopes up, i mean the letter does say 400 and i don't think that wrote 400 if like 700 or 800 people applied so chances seem good, i think many of you have way better stats than i do so i'm sure you guys got in... it's just the mail delivery system's fault...</p>
