MITES 2011 Information & Discussion

<p>My friend Christian got his acceptance in the past day or two. It’s a large 8 1/2 by 11 envelope with a bunch of papers in it about class preferences and what not. If they don’t receive it by Friday, the acceptance is void.</p>

<p>In the meantime, I’ll be nervously awaiting an email from TASP about whether I was accepted or not. It’s the final stage (post-interview). Good luck to everyone who applied to MITES and other summer programs!</p>

<p>GOT IN!!! Those of you who havent recieved the letter, dont fret!</p>

<p>I was also rejected. Got my letter yesterday in S. FL</p>

<p>@jmcrusader - How far south do you live in? Im in Charlotte County and haven’t received mine yet, so im wonder what date your letter is stamped as. Mine will possibly come sometime this week.</p>

<p>I’m in Palm Beach, postmarked 4/15</p>

<p>Congrats needhelp94! @ Sarac25 np</p>

<p>I got the rejection letter yesterday. I live in LA =(</p>

<p>Rejected:(
@Sarac I’m applying to promys ,hcssim, and other math programs that are still available.</p>

<p>I didn’t get an email reply from them, so if anyone didn’t get their letter just wait till it comes.</p>

<p>In the letter it said April 13 2010. </p>

<p>Weird. </p>

<p>I didnt look at the postmark, I just ripped open the letter because I was scared I got rejected.</p>

<p>If you imagine they put them in the mail room and then there’s 1500 letters that have to be processed it’s not hard to imagine postmarks spread out.</p>

<p>i havent received anything yet. ohmygod.</p>

<p>Yes, but 2010!?</p>

<p>cpuscientist3000: Someone pointed that out before, clearly a typo.</p>

<p>I misread the letter. I’m actually waitlisted Yay! After all of my summer program rejections and disappointments, I’m so glad that I at least have a chance at MITES…otherwise I"ll be going to the E2! To fellow waitlisters, are there any paperworks we need to do?</p>

<p>Did all E2 participants get waitlisted to MITES automatically?</p>

<p>nhi1605: You only have to say something if you want to withdraw.</p>

<p>bostonmom2: It looks like waitlisted people are automatically in E2 (if not moved up) but not all E2 are on waitlist.</p>

<p>Am really fretting about getting my letter.</p>

<p>nhi1605, does your letter say that you were waitlisted along with saying that you were accepted to E2? That’s an awesome position to be in if it that is the case! Ha. I think you are the first person to actually be waitlisted on the forum… I actually thought they replaced the waitlist with E2, but I guess I was mistaken.</p>

<p>Maybe that was it, postmarked the 15th but dated the 13th. My bad. </p>

<p>In the meantime, if they want course selections/etc. by Friday, then what about the people that haven’t recieved the letters yet? Are we going to be penalized (if accepted, but unlikely) for not having recieved the letters in time? </p>

<p>I doubt it, but it’s nice to know.</p>

<p>Well, when the letter arrived I was away from home so I had to call my brother to check. My heart dropped several feet when he said the letter was REALLY thin and told me that I’ve been rejected. I didn’t get to actually read the content today and see that it actually meant waitlisted. After close inspection, this is the content of my letter:</p>

<p>“Thank for applying…unfortunately not enough space to on program to admit everyone 1400 applications for 80 spots …“Our selection committee has decided to place you on the waitlist for this summer’s program”…We are delighted to let you know that if you’re not selected for MITES, we’ve reserved a place for you in E2…You will be notified of the final decisions by May 1st.” </p>

<p>I sincerely hope that by “this summer’s program” they mean MITES…Anyways, after being rejected from NSLI, SIMR, WTP, and JCVI, I am very thankful that I have somewhere to go for at least a week this summer. Good luck you guys! I hope you receive your decisions soon. To people who have already been accepted, congratulations (hopefully some of you got accepted into more prestigious programs like RSI so you decide to give up your spots for MITES for me …JK =D)</p>
