<p>Of course. They'll get a letter that tells them "thanks but no thanks".</p>
<p>Yep, everyone will get a decision letter (admitted, denied, or waitlisted) and they will all be mailed on the same day.</p>
<p>Are we expected to send in additional references? I thought the application couldnt be accompanied by additional references and didnt bother to send any, but it seems quite a few people have sent something or the oher</p>
<p>Definitely not expected, no worries. The majority of apps only have the ones we specifically ask for.</p>
<p>Hmm as ben said on another thread, it's too late to send anything now.</p>
<p>thanks. and i wanted to let u know, inspired by your 'pact', i have decided not to get a haircut until (a) i know which college ill be attending next year or (b) i get selected to attend the training/selection camp for the IPhO. </p>
<p>I hope one of them (or even both) come through or my mom is going to kill me before i can fulfill my resolution</p>
<p>I know its too late to send anything merc, but it isnt too late to start getting some sleep again!</p>
<p>Interesting idea, shash_rao!</p>
<p>I was planning to cut my hair the next few days (been a couple of months since I last did that!), but I think I'll wait until I get something in the mail from MIT, which will hopefully be a nice, fat envelope. :D</p>
<p>That is awesome! :-)</p>
<p>Hey Ben, I emailed <a href="mailto:admissions@mit.edu">admissions@mit.edu</a> with my supplement 2 days back: will that be included??</p>
<p>and btw it would be really helpful if MIT Admissions could list their Fax Number Online :)</p>
<p>hello - if they got it before tues afternoon, it's probably in there. RE the fax number, I think we hide it on purpose to encourage the use of email, but I've never actually asked...</p>
<p>Ben - for internationals, are all acceptance packages and rejection letters sent out by DHL? How long after the official release date do most internationals receive their letters?</p>
<p>Just wanted to know how long I should spend freaking out after the official release date before any notification arrives...lol=)</p>
<p>Thanks!=)</p>
<p>Whoa, March 15th is so soon! Less than a month! :eek: It seemed like yesterday was late December and that there were still 90 more days til mid-March.</p>

<p>oh wow - thanks mercurysquad!=) so which means... we can all give up like after march 20 if we don't get a package.. erps</p>
<p>mercurysquad's got it right - DHL only for admits, regular mail for the others.</p>
<p>If it isnt against regulations, could you tell me approximately how many students get into MIT from india in a typical year. When i say india, i mean those who live and study there.</p>
<p>We don't admit regionally so # of admits for any given country changes from year to year. Overall, we look to have about 8% of the class be international students though.</p>
<p>how does waitlisting work? in that, if i get waitlisted...since some other colleges i've applied to have a may 1 deadline for confirming my spot, would it be a gamble then to stay waitlisted? or would i simply forfeit a deposit at the other school?</p>
<p>You would have to risk forfeiting the deposit or else risk not going to college next year.</p>
