From molliebatmit: Please keep this thread for decision posts only, and remember that if you want to post your decision and add stats later, CC will only let you edit a post for 20 minutes. This thread is for future applicants, so it's really only useful if you do post your stats.

If you post something that's not a decision here and can't find it later, never fear: it has been moved to this</a> thread.

[]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I got deferred from MIT and Caltech from Early Action, but got into Caltech RD. It’s rough out there, but I think the most important thing is what colleges look for in the essay, which for the applicant can feel like a shot in the dark. The biggest caution is that if you apply EA to any college, be careful cause you cannot change your essays for RD. I’ve learned to move on from MIT long ago because it just wasn’t meant to be. I am looking forward to undergrad at Caltech or maybe Stanford/Princeton if I get in
Also asian male into MIT/ any strong engineering school is brutal.
Congratz to the rest of you.
