<p>I couldn't contain my curiousity, so I logged in. And it didn't change. I want to cry. Anyone wants to lend me their shoulders?</p>
<p>hey alyssa. the words may seem empty right now, but here goes, things happen for a reason. i read an article posted on cc or it may have been the MIT not admitted board (check it out-follow the links from MyMIT Blogs-on the bottom right hand corner Matt's and Ben's blogs have many comments that may bring you some comfort) that this is the only time you will be judged in the manner MIT has judged you. 10 years from now, it really isn't going to matter. i do have confidence that MIT adcomm made the best decisions for everyone concerned. they appear to have put so much into the process because they understood the impact their decisions would have on people. cheer up and walk with your head held high. </p>
<p>I have commented before that in my opinion, for the most part, it took a lot of courage to apply. Way back in my day, I never considered applying beyond my local hometown school. Well I did apply to a school that was about an hour away and when decision time came, I thought it was to far. I lacked confidence. You, my dear, have that!! and somehow I believe, a lot more.</p>
