<p>[li] Why I think I was accepted/deferred: ... I don't know! Seriously, no one is more surprised than me. All my friends tell me "I told you so" or "I knew it" but really, I've been in shock for the past hour. I guess I have a strong academic record, and a combination of good essays/recs. I dont think my honors/awards are that wonderful because there are none at the Internationl or really national level, but my love for MIT showed through the app, it seems.</p>[/li]
<p>[*] Other thoughts: I'm so happy I've been crying. Other MITers who have been accepted, AIM me at mydeareverafter! =)</p>
