<p>it's not surprising, MIT tends to accept more athletes and URM during the EA round, however they do accept many of the deferred people during the RD round
for example, this year in my school, about 7 people applied to MIT and all got deferred except a black girl who had much lower stats than did the other 6 applicants</p>
<p>THAT's why I didn't apply</p>
<p>omg, seeing the MIT decisions just makes it so real--there are so many kids deferred with really good scores, it scares me</p>
<p>i wouldnt worry too much...MIT is VERY VERY conservative in its admissions during the EA round...it's only around 11%...you really cant compare MIT EA with princeton ED</p>
<p>I have a little more optimistic news. Two people from my school, both white, male, non-athletes applied ea to MIT and both got in. It gives me a lot of hope because they are #2 and 3 in our class and im 1 with the same ecs and more.
40 minutes to my MIT interview...</p>
<p>ooohh, good luck!</p>
<p>...and I have some pessimistic news! My friend got deferred :(<br>
But on the optimistic side, we're going to celebrate in a great deferral party when I get my thin envelope on Monday! :) :( :)</p>
<p>lol deferral party</p>
<p>oooh, such a good idea! I'm doing that with my friends if we all get deferred!</p>
<p>we'll have a deferral party on CC right here!......at 1 post per min. lol</p>
<p>wouldn't a deferral party be tough since it would be postponed until later? wow. that was just an awful joke.</p>
<p>lmao nice one.
My friends and I are actually planning on a deferral party too.</p>
<p>yeah my friends and i are going to have a deferral party and bake cookies and stuff.</p>
<p>What if you get in?? You wont be invited to the party anymore.. That would be slightly ackward if you were at a deferall party but secretly had beem accepted to Princeton.. haha</p>
<p>haha it would be worth it! i'm more scared that my friends will get in and i will have a pity party alone!</p>
<p>hmmmm......acceptance or deferral party......not too sure at this point :)</p>
<p>yeah well my friend applied to mit ea and this kid is legit. 2400, genius, smartest-kid-i-know, and a perfect match for mit.....yet he was deferred<br>
thats the bad news...whats worse is now he decided to apply to pton!
can you believe it????? silly mit kids thinking they can take our pton spots!
I THINK NOT!</p>
<p>that's really depressing...</p>
