But what card is the letter referring to? Is one enclosed in the envelope we are to receive?

<p>Does anyone know how much MIT will go into the waitlist, or how many people are put on it?</p>
<p>They will likely announce the size of the waitlist within the next few days. The number of students accepted off the waitlist in past years can be found at the Common</a> Data Set.</p>
<p>I am international, so I will receive that card after ages. It usually takes 3 weeks , concluding from the letters I have received so far.</p>
<p>What about financial aid? If we are waitlisted how do we know that we are eligible for fin aid? I mean...molliebatmit, could you please describe this whole process with waitlists and admissions at other colleges and final responses? I can't think clearly right now :(</p>
<p>I was even prepared for the rejection, so I am clearly thinking right now. I am even memorizing my kanjis :)</p>
<p>I just made a new thread for waitlisted student issues [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/474173-information-waitlisted-students.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/474173-information-waitlisted-students.html]here[/url</a>], so come on over. :)</p>
