<p>Alright folks. This is it. Soon we are about to hit the 24 hour mark and decisions will be out. Let's try to enjoy these last hours. Once decisions are out, select one of the three outcomes below and erase the spaces in between the brackets to get this template to work. Good luck to all. </p>

2

<p>I suggest adding Interview as a factor. It seems that MIT interview carries considerable weight</p>

3

<p>Good Luck Everyone!!!!!!</p>

4

<p>i think you don't get deferred in RD
that column should actually be waitlisted</p>

<p>also is the interview really important???
asking it bcoz i screwed it up</p>

5

<p>I think it is more important than whether one applies for financial aid or not. MIT website claims the interview to be of some kind of importance. Just relax, it is not a decisive factor.</p>

6

<p>Let's change this around a bit to actually reflect MIT policies, which are need blind (so why do we have that Financial Aid spot?) and consider an interview. And we should probably change Deferred to Waitlisted.</p>

<p>ALSO, remember to update your stats profiles regardless of outcome (it'll help next year's applicants out) and know that que sera, sera. No matter what happens, it will all work out in the end.</p>

<p>And of course, best of luck. I'm cheering for all of you.</p>

<p>i hope in less than 24hrs I will be able to make one of those posts with Accepted at the top...</p>

8

<p>Less than 20hrs!!! Good luck everyone and remember, whatever happens, happens. (ahh...jus realized ducktape just said the same thing...well for those of you who don't read spanish)</p>

9

<p>omgomgomg, I'm so freaking out. I think I am going to sleep until tomorrow noon or else I'll go crazy. :P</p>

<p>Good luck, everyone.</p>

10

<p>AHH I just got back from the programming competition. 2nd place in the state :-) oh yea. I'm too happy about this to feel down about MIT now yay haha. Btw ducktape I pasted that template from your EA post :-p so HA (but yea i should have changed deferred). hehe...</p>

11

<p>bballdude/ducktape: what do you mean exactly by "Personal"? (found about "Hooks")</p>

12

<p>^^^ Personal will appear on the next line in bold as a title for the items (location, high school type, ethnicity etc.) below it. Those are personal characteristics of the applicant in a way as opposed to the stats and subjective parts.</p>

13

<p>Put a line break before the [ b] in front of Personal, while you're at it. Anything without a : after it is a title and doesn't need an answer.</p>

14

<p>to bballdude & ducktape: aah, thank you! I think the fact that it was on the same line screwed with my brain XD It makes sense now.</p>
