<p>Does anyone have an approximate date for when they're coming or when they'll be mailed off? And exactly what's in the tube, or should I just wait and be surprised?</p>
<p>On the “Admitted” post on the blogs, a '12 student said, on the 16th, they had been sent already or will ship in the next day or two. So I’m thinking (hoping?) mine might come today or monday. I think I might put it under my Christmas tree <3</p>
<p>I want my tuuuuuuube! I hope it comes today.</p>
<p>You might need to search for your tube when it arrives by post, because it doesn’t fit in a mailbox. Our postman placed it by a bush to the side of our front door several years ago. It fell behind the bush, so my daughter didn’t see it for a few days. Keep your eyes open!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you serious? :)</p>
<p>Dead serious!</p>
<p>As for what’s in the tube, it’s a surprise. My daughter contributed to this year’s tube, so enjoy!</p>
<p>i got the tube today, but not a personalized admissions letter like my friends from last year, oh well I still got admitted :D</p>
<p>I got the tube yesterday. I already put up the poster.</p>
<p>my friend also got hers - haven’t gotten mine yet ):</p>
<p>I got mine today as well! </p>
<p>CalAlum, did your daughter design the poster?</p>
<p>Got mine today!</p>
<p>It fit in my mailbox, which says something about my mailbox XD</p>
<p>the poster is awesome. :)</p>
<p>It’s already up in my room. :]</p>
<p>@sdxdtx,
Yes! Each year, MIT Admissions holds a contest for interested students to submit designs for the poster in the EA tube. My daughter designed the posters for 2012, 2013, and now for 2014. If you run into her on the campus, say hi!</p>
<p>Has anyone solved the puzzles on the poster? Just curious!
:-)</p>
<p>CalAlum - that is AWESOME. :)</p>
<p>ummmm on facebook someone got the braille part. there’s more? <opens tube=“” to=“” scrutinize=“”></opens></p>
<p>^^ There’s more. For instance, each of the icons has a specific meaning at MIT, and some are a bit odd … think of it as a sort of early intro to Mystery Hunt.</p>
<p>oooohhh… any other early admits want to collaborate on this one?</p>
<p>I recognize the CITGO sign… although I’m not sure what meaning it has other than being a gigantic CITGO sign on the river.
Tim the Beaver is obviously Tim the beaver… I’ve got the Dome hack.</p>
<p>The weird thing in brown with circles and lots of lines looks a little like a Da Vinci sketch, but I could just be making that up. I really have no idea. I see keyboard cat… but I’m not sure why.</p>
<p>The French Horn’s meaning also eludes me. Is the crew boat just a crew boat?</p>
<p><perplexed and=“” wants=“” to=“” figure=“” this=“” out=“”></perplexed></p>
<p>I thought it was just mysterious like Giorgione paintings, not a puzzle! I’m going to go try to solve it.</p>
<p>Did anyone see the maze to the graduation cap?</p>
<p>I only noticed like two of these things <em>rushes off to look at poster</em></p>
