MIT MITES Summer 2014

<p>I know… just searching for small glimpses of hope. The waiting struggle is real!</p>

<p>you guys are giving me high blood pressure lol</p>

<p>i think that it still may come out today, but I don’t know about exactly at midnight? Maybe later in the day you know.</p>

<p>Thanks @Southpaw45. I’ll email MITES if I don’t get a result form them tomorrow. LBW makes us pay the full cost up front.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! </p>

<p>Not to crush anyone’s hopes, but our application due date was later than the years before so it may take a little longer for them to review all of the applications.</p>

<p>@Southpaw45‌ Don’t worry about it, I’m just as anxious as you are! Also, good luck on Science Olympiad! My state’s competition was last month, so it’s already long passed… What events are you doing?</p>

<p>I just went to the application page to check on my results, but obviously it’s not up yet… I wonder if it’d be there by the end of today. So much nervousness.</p>

<p>@Twis7ed Thank you for your comment! I know I should really just calm down, take a deep breath, and not think about it until the results are out… I applied to SIMR, and I was rejected earlier in the week, so I really, really hope that I get in at least one of the programs I worked so hard applying for… The MITES essays was hands down the hardest set of essays I’d ever written, so I hope that’d get me somewhere.</p>

<p>Ahhhh standardized test a;sldkfjds;lfk;sj. I did maybe 40 practice tests tbh because I just wanted to get it over the first time. We’ll see how that goes! Thanks again, I’m always pretty much full of anxiety and I’m glad you’re here to help me tone that down a notch. :)</p>

<p>Thanks @Nobody426‌! For some reason, our state competition seems to be much later than many others…I’ll be competing in Astronomy, Entomology, and Rocks and Minerals. We have some chance of doing well in our individual events but basically no chance of ranking as a team because we’re a new team and suburban schools are too good.
I’m still hoping to hear back today…if not from MITES, then at least from SSP, since their results came out last year on the second Wednesday at like 2 EST.
Good luck to everyone! Please post here if you get any emails, because I’m going to try to avoid obsessively checking my email every moment.</p>

<p>Ahhhh I’m starting to think that MITES might be releasing their decisions next week instead. Seems like no one heard anything about this program’s exact release date yet. </p>

<p>I’m just super nervous about SSP right now, (haha, just judging by how we’re commenting on the SSP thread!) I did Rocks and Minerals last year for SciOly, but I did Chem, Anatomy, and Technical Problem Solving this year. I think I’m pretty biochem oriented this year in terms of events.</p>

<p>Let’s cross our fingers and maybe we’ll meet over the summer!</p>

<p>@Nobody246 Lol you know how much we’re all freaking out for SSP :P</p>

<p>Yeah haha @emywemy610‌ we’re all actually dying of anxiety here.</p>

<p>@‌Southpaw45
@‌Nobody426
YAY! Other science Olympiad people!
Oh and Nobody426 I did chemlab and TPS also! But I did write it do it, experimental design and materials science. And when’s your state competition (southpaw45), bc I had mine also in march-ish. </p>

<p>And what’s SSP?</p>

<p>As an Asian boy my son does not expect to get to MITES. His purpose is for E2 and MOSTEC. Hope these programs are blind about the applicants’ ethnics.</p>

<p>Hi guys I’m new to the forum no sign yet of those results? :stuck_out_tongue:
I hope i have chances even if I’m Puerto Rican.</p>

<p>@luckystar888 my competition is this Saturday! I think my state is one of the last ones to go. Also, that’s really weird, because I’m pretty sure one of my friends did all three of your events as well…Twins!!!</p>

<p>I was gonna go to Science Olympiad for chemistry, but the other people who were going were a lot better at chemistry than me and would’ve put more effort into it, too, so I decided not to.</p>

<p>Does anyone here think the results might be sent out midnight? Or does majority opinion lean towards next week? Everyone here seems great. It would be beyond amazing to meet so many awesome people (especially coming from my miniature 80 people high school)!</p>

<p>I have no clue when the results will be released, but hopefully it’s sooner rather than later. That would be so cool to meet all of you! @bolkevlp‌ your high school has ONLY 80 PEOPLE??? Mine has almost 5000…Dang…Do you like having such a small school? </p>

<p>@emywemy610 It was nice being in environment that allowed me to grow so close to nearly everyone there, but I’m definitely ready to move on from that. You get tired of seeing the same faces day after day.</p>

<p>midnight would be great!</p>
