<p>petri21 when did you send in you application?</p>
<p>yeah petri, when did you submit your app and was it online or by mail?
i sent mine in by mail…so hopefully i get the confirmation soon…</p>
<p>why do petri and blackrose both have 21 at the end of their username? lol. sorry i just noticed this coincidence and 21 being related to blackjack which relates to mit.</p>
<p>haha yeah I just realized that too when I was posting last night. Pure coincidence, really it is. 21 was the only number or thing that fitted with my username. All the other ones were taken. How does blackjack have to do with MIT? or was that the question you were asking us?</p>
<p>The movie 21 is an exaggerated account of how a few MIT students make a boatload of money playing blackjack :)</p>
<p>I sent my application out on the saturday right before it was due. Oh and 21 is just my favorite number (the result of some problems i had learning my times tables in elementary :D).</p>
<p>haha yeah I sent mines in the saturday right before it was due. What worries me is I haven’t gotten an e-mail response that they have received my application. What do you think?</p>
<p>It’s probably fine, mine might have just arrived faster. No one else has mentioned an e-mail yet, so I don’t think you need to worry about it yet</p>
<p>hey what other summer programs besides MITES did you guys apply for?</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to any other summer programs, which probably wasn’t the best thing to do…lol
Anyway, I found this on the RSI thread-the stages you go through when applying:
- Intimidation 2. Hope 3. Extreme (OVER)Confidence 4. APPLY 5. I Cant get in 6. Letter of Admission or Rejection
Which stage are you guys on? I think I’m a mixture of 2 and 5…</p>
<p>haha I like that. hmm can’t say I’m jumping all over that meter. I think I’m the same as you a mixture of 2 and 5. I’m applying to Penn SAAST summer program. But I am really hoping for MITES sounds like a good program. But then again Penn is probably good I just have heard more stuff about MITES than Penn, plus they pay for everything! Well except for transportation but it beats paying a couple grand for a program.</p>
<p>I guess I’d be in stage 2 or 5, and I’ve completely skipped stage 3, or maybe that might happen later…</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve basically followed that path (1,2,3,4,5)…</p>
<p>I’m currently in 5.</p>
<p>Hey. So, my favorite classes were probably physics and humanities. I was in physics 3 which was definitely very challenging, but it was totally worth it. We learned so much in 5 weeks of instruction. Humanities was interesting and I found it very thought provoking.</p>
<p>I don’t believe we get confirmation until March. Then, we don’t find out if we got in until April =[. Happy waiting…</p>
<p>I got the confirmation mail after about 2 hours hehe</p>
<p>I am local and i just dropped off at the office lol</p>
<p>From my school last year 1 person got into mites, and a year before two ppl got in…</p>
<p>Only thing I am worried about is that all of them were in SEED which is a MIT program for local high schools… I didnt know about it because I just came last year and it was after the deadline :(</p>
<p>I still have my hopes ^^ good luck</p>
<p>did you get the confirmation by e-mail or regular mail. Cause I think petri21 said he got his through e-mail.</p>
<p>My friend who applied at my school got his confirmation e-mail already, but I have not received mine =[. He sent his in two days earlier than me so I’m not sure if that is what is making the difference.</p>
<p>yeah I sent mine the Saturday before it was due and I still haven’t gotten an e-mail saying they have received it yet. Hopefully it will be soon.</p>
<p>I sent mine in the Saturday before it was due (the 31st, I think). But I still have to send in an updated transcript w/semester grades (long story) tomorrow when I pick it up from school. So I’m assuming I should get it after I send the transcript right? Well, anyway, don’t stress out about the confirmation email-they said you should get one by March 2nd-which is still a long ways away.</p>
