<p>Gahhhhhh!!! Post your stats!!! Tell usss moreeeeee</p>
<p>I don’t feel comfortable posting detailed stats up, but if you pm me I’ll gladly you give you a brief outline of my activities/scores/grades. The first paragraph of the acceptance letter is as follows:</p>
<p>Dear hpa10, </p>
<p>Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to join the 2009 Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES) Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This is a wonderful accomplishment and you should be very proud! The program will begin on Friday, June 19, 2009 and end on Saturday, August 1, 2009. We look forward to working with you and an exceptional group of students from all over the country this year. The 2009 MITES class will represent a diversity of communities, cultures, interests and academic successes. </p>
<p>Then it goes on to talk about the difficulty of the program and other stuff. It mentions that there were over 1,000 applicants, but doesn’t say how many were accepted.</p>
<p>omg! Congrats Hpa!!! that’s awesome!!! 
I hope the rest of us find out soon…</p>
<p>over a 1000 YIKES…</p>
<p>yikes is definitely the word. And they only accept like 50 right? or maybe i’m getting confused with another summer program. I wonder how long it’ll take rejection/acceptance letters to get to TX</p>
<p>I live in what is essentially Austin, so I’m sure you’ll find out soon.</p>
<p>congratulations hpa10!!!
i hope the letters come to california tomorrow.</p>
<p>omg their were over 1000 applicants this year??? how do you know?</p>
<p>And I thought they always accepted around 80</p>
<p>yay! I got in :D</p>
<p>I’m kind of confused though, I got into to both WTP (women’s tech program @ MIT) & MITES and I really don’t know which one is better!!! can anyone help me out???</p>
<p>congrats! That is tough decision. I heard both of them are real good experience.</p>

<p>congratulations abrii and hpa10!!! Hopefully people in Florida will get letters soon. I think we are going to have to make a new list soon with acceptances. Oh and you welcome about the links.</p>
<p>what did the envelope look like?!</p>
<p>it’s probably big and white</p>
<p>^Yea, it’s big and white and very thin, with only a few sheets of paper enclosed. However, it arrived in an “express mail” cardboard envelope.</p>
<p>And no I didn’t get any book with pictures.</p>
