<p>Application reviews have been finished and decisions made. Now we wait.</p>
<p>well i figured I'd edit the post and put the decision in once I got it lol...</p>
<p>Unfortunately, you can only edit your posts here for the 15-min. period following their submission. After that, they stand as-is.</p>
<p>oh wow. a year has passed so quickly. It's been a loooong time since my last visit on CC. </p>
<p>Folks, Good Luck with decisions!</p>
<p>^^ ok..fine w/ me</p>
<p>well, i mean, the real question is:</p>
<p>who is John Galt?</p>
<p>Ayn Rand roxzors my soxorz!!! im totally president-ing the objectivists club if i go there.</p>
<p>Btw, I never suggested that you all post right now. You guys could have waited to post for a couple of days. </p>
<p>Aesthetically pleasing? Haha.</p>
<p>Wow, that's pretty awesome. Thanks, guys. I will make the official, official decision thread 11:30 EST tomorrow morning - most people will not receive the mail until then and there is still thirty minutes before the actual decision time. Unfortunately, I will look even more hypocritical when I do make the "official" thread and fail to be admitted - oh well, I don't even think I'm going to check online tomorrow.</p>
<p>Either way, pretty good surprise after just coming back from New Orleans and finding out I foobared another scholarship application.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>heh you don't havta be accepted to start the official decision thread :) I started the Yale EA thread and was deferred.</p>
<p>Mine is yet. Anybody got one?</p>
<p>wait 36 more min</p>

I have to be honest, MIT isn't a top choice at the moment, as it doesn't have quite the breadth of studies that I really am looking for, but I should be at CPW (registration ends before my top choice gets back to me) so maybe that'll change my mind!</p>
