MITES 2016 Discussion

Do they all come out at once? Are they all emails or do they send letters?

@chaneybiz Yes, I was accepted at LEDA, my first choice. I’m glad I got notified in time to withdraw my application from MITES, and if anyone else in this forum knows they aren’t going you should withdraw too, it helps out the people who want to go.

Not that I think anyone would do that on purpose, but I forgot about it for a good few days and I’m glad I remembered in time :slight_smile:

Congratulations!

Thank you @innerchild33 Best of luck to you!

Yes, congrats @ahmeda14960!!! Hope you enjoy your summer experience!!

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Same as Ahmeda I withdrew my application because I got accepted into another program good luck to everyone!

Congratulations on your other programs, guys!

So…will this affect my chances?

The OEOP had an alumni reception at MIT on Saturday and at the reception they said y’all would be receiving your decisions this week.

@dsi411 less competition is always better right?
Can’t really say I would have gotten in though.

When do you guys anticipate the decisions to come out?

Hoping it will be tomorrow

@mathwizard786 I had a pretty good feeling about today, but turns out I was wrong. I’m really hoping it will be tomorrow because I just want to know already

I predict Friday since that’s the 15th and that’s when they came out last year. But I hope they come out tomorrow.

I honestly think I am not prepared for this. Ah, the excitement and fear!
:))

Yeah I was thinking it was going to be today

Also betting/hoping for tomorrow!

Anyone starting to regret their essays? Because I am. I regret changing my second essay to make it more STEM related. My original one was a mix of STEM and history, but my teacher who was advising me told me that it focused too much on history. Now I feel like I should have kept my essay because it really represented my personality.

Did anyone here write about subjects or activities not related to STEM?

Me, too. I always think of a better way, but after I submit it. I wrote a lot about the library (it’s really important to me), so I am not sure how it would be viewed since it is not really STEM. Let’s hope for the best!!!
