<p>I can't believe they would reject someone with an IMO medal!!!</p>
<p>crhonicidal, stanford or MIT?</p>
<p>Please complete and return the enclosed card by April 18 to indicate whether or not you wish to stay on the Wait List. We will give you an update by late May.</p>
<p>What does it mean?</p>
<p>stupidkid, I have no clue! I have to visit.</p>
<p>^^^ please go to Stanford and help us waitlisteds.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. That SUCKS!!! Oh well...another 2.5 months of stress :(</p>
<p>Tsenguun, you can choose whether or not you'd like to remain on the waitlist, and MIT will let you know in May whether you've been accepted off the waitlist or not.</p>
<p>But what card is the letter referring to? Is one enclosed in the envelope we are to receive?</p>
<p>^ Yes, that is what I asked.</p>
