<p>Be ready, guys. If you were accepted Early Action, you'll get a TUBE in the mail! If not, then you'll get... nothing.</p>
<p>Can you explain the Tube?</p>
<p>Tube is 20" long, 3" diameter, and has a big MIT sticker on it!
[MIT</a> Admissions | Blog Entry: “MIT <3s YOU!”](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/misc/miscellaneous/mit_3s_you_1.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/misc/miscellaneous/mit_3s_you_1.shtml)</p>
<p>I want a tube soooo bad!!!</p>
<p>Keep in mind, though, that although the tube has been a fun thing MIT has sent to accepted EA students for the past several years, it’s not necessarily a permanent fixture. There’s no guarantee that they’ll send tubes in any particular year, although they have since 2005.</p>
<p>so you are saying its possible to get a mail from MIT without the tube and burn the mail just because you think you got refused but in fact you are admitted? lol :D</p>
<p>Hahaha good luck guys! I remember the time I got my Tube. Its exciting.</p>
<p>It must be! What was in it? Just a single acceptance letter?</p>
<p>I cannot wait. But I don’t want Thursday to come. I am afraid I won’t get accepted. But if I don’t, then I guess I just am not a fit for MIT. I so wish I do get a tube thou.</p>
<p>When do people get the tube? The day after decisions? The next week? The next month?</p>
<p>^ “When it reaches them in the mail.”</p>
<p>I suspect that they are sending tubes this year, though, given this from Matt’s latest blog:</p>

<p>The tube doesn’t fit in a standard mailbox, so you may need to hunt around for it. Our mail delivery person placed it beside the door on the front porch. It fell over and rolled behind a potted plant, and no one noticed it for several days.</p>
