<p>Yesterday there was so much mail, i open it and there was a 9x12 in there; i grab it out and its addressed to my father. There are multiple items of regular envelops and my hope dwindles till i saw that none were from MITES. A few other people in Florida have received their letter, but I have not. If i don’t get anything today I may call, my only hope is that even though i havent gotten it yet doesnt mean im rejected.</p>
<p>ATTN: Engineers,…(ME, EE, AE, and Environmental)
BTW the Ocean Engineering Experience is still open at MIT. There aren’t any teacher recommendations necessary and there is financial aid available for the program and travel.</p>
<p>BTW has anyone updated our list lately?</p>
<p>Here’s the application link to the MIT Ocean Engineering Experience: <a href=“http://seagrant.mit.edu/Documents/Public_Public/OEX_application_2011_Final-05.pdf[/url]”>http://seagrant.mit.edu/Documents/Public_Public/OEX_application_2011_Final-05.pdf</a></p>
<p>The deadline for applying is April 30.</p>
<p>for those that have called to know their status, did u call the mites number on the website?</p>
<p>needhelp94: As far as I know, everyone here got a letter. Decisions are not being given over the phone. I heard if you have a competing deadline you can email your case and they will send your letter.</p>
<p>I called today and they told me they will send me an email. I don’t think they are willing to give decisions over the phone. I didn’t get an email yet but hopefully I’ll find out by the end of today. The possibility that I could have gotten in is distracting me from filling out applications to other programs.</p>
<p>can you please post when you receive the email. I emailed them as well and want to know when to expect to hear back.</p>
<p>You guys… DONT CALL/EMAIL. </p>
<p>it makes you look bad. Just wait. It’s coming. I know you’re nervous :eek:</p>
<p>@problematical- what # did you call? If you don’ t mind me asking, what are some programs you know of that are still accepting applications?</p>
<p>Sara- Seidenburg scholars at Pace</p>
<p>And something at TCNJ. </p>
<p>good luck everyone :)</p>
<p>Still nothing! I don’t think I got in, though, because someone from my school already got in.
However, another kid from my school got a rejection letter… what’s up? Have we been waitlisted or something? I live fairly close to MA…</p>
<p>I heard all letters were sent out together.</p>
<p>Just wait a few more days, I know it’s hard but you’ve waited long enough that I believe you guys can do it.</p>
<p>@CPU-thank you!
The letter finally cam
( Houston), my son didn’t get accepted:( at least the wait is over.FYI, for those of you who haven’t got letters yet, it was postmarked 4/15(fri). Good luck everyone, you’re all so smart and are going places, with or without MIT:)</p>
<p>@ Sarac25-- I don’t know your financial situation but there are iD Camps at MIT that are still open. I plan to study abroad if I don’t get in my other two programs that I applied for. Another option may be to check your local colleges for similar programs.</p>
<p>Hey guys I just read the first 3 pages of this thread, (looking for the convo when I first logged on) still good info! :-)</p>
<p>First few are from students who went to Mites 2010! They shared their experience, …cool!</p>
