<p>For me, it's filled with lots of apathy (as far as schoolwork in concerned). It's also filled with a lot more ZZzzzZZzzzzzZZZ's.</p>
<p>Tell us your tales!</p>
<p>It's been filled with the realization that what I want to do for the rest of my life is something that MIT really can't give me, and so I am gradually letting go...</p>
<p>sad, really, but a decision I firmly believe will lead me towards a fulfilling life.</p>
<p>I am working just as hard as before, prob harder as my classes are loading up on work. I am not the type that can be apathetic to work even if it doesn't matter as much. Plus, I have worked for 9 years to get into MIT. Not gonna blow it in the last semester of HS for some down time.</p>
<p>I'm applying for like 10 scholarships. Its still like Im applying for college even though I already finished that lolz :)</p>
<p>People come to me like I am some all knowing power who can solve BC calc and orgo problems in her head. While it is sort of a compliment, I hate that people think I must be some kind of genius and teachers are expecting a lot more from me. I didnt get smarter, I just got into college lol. I cant even take a break or my grades will suffer A LOT.</p>
<p>Ditto Kitties; many of my friends & peers refer to me now as the "genius" (in a playful/good-humored manner of course). It's quite flattering, but a bit annoying at times.</p>
<p>For some reason, I feel like teachers expect even more from me now. But 2nd semester starts next week, so there might be a drop in my grades. We'll see. I do have a lot of time on my hands now!</p>
<p>eating food, didn't you get into Yale? how did you manage to do mit EA as well?</p>
<p>ugh. yeah, i got some ppl saying i must be some kind of genius, but nah, I ain't genius. I'm just one of those normal girls. andddddd yes! senioritis are just affecting me now badly!!!</p>
<p>Right now, school feels just pretty lame and stagnant. Things are so boring in this boring too small town, that I just can't wait go to college. Nothing can compare to a town like Boston! lol.</p>
<p>burnitblue:
does that mean you're not going to mit? :O what do you want to do that mit doesn't have?</p>
<p>as for post-acceptance life: i love knowing where i'm going next year and not having to wait until march!</p>
<p>I agree. High school just seems so superfluous after getting into the college of your choice in December!
I have also seen a lot of the "genius" stuff mentioned above. People don't seem to realize that I haven't become any smarter after getting into MIT, they expect me to do crazy math problems in my head. They also have taken to calling me "mitty" or just plain "MIT"</p>
<p>I guess it's a good problem to have lol</p>

</p>
<p>ah, it is true that I got into Yale... but does this mean I cannot talk to my MIT counterparts?</p>
<p>It was fun for a while thinking "I GOT INTO MIT OMGOMGOMG!!!!!" Then I thought about Harvard's Math 55 and Yale's Directed Studies, and threw myself back into the waiting game again :-/</p>
<p>I was happy, but then I thought about all the other ivies I applied and now I'm back to being anxious and all. But thank heaven I don't have to fall back on my back-up schools!
My friends now call me either a "genius" or a "beast" (I like the latter one, sounds intimidating XD).
My teacher talked to me after class and told me that just because I got into college (not mit, my school hasn't fold out about it yet) doesn't mean I can slack off and be "a bad influence." LOL. but then I think I don't have to give it 150% like I used to anymore.</p>
<p>Its been quite the tale. School seems to disappear little by little each day, and yet getting in to two of my top schools gives me more motivation to work harder. Haha Go figure.</p>
<p>Well, about now I'm still on the acceptance high...but I still have to work hard so I can receive as many scholarships as possible...</p>
<p>lol. A lot of people now call me "Miss MIT" in my school, including my chemistry teacher. hahahahha.</p>
<p>hey, wildchartermage, remember me? well...I got in.</p>
<p>congratulations to all those who got in..i did not apply to MIT, am a non-science student but i heard MIT was really difficult to get into this time..so bravo to all those accepted and hope you enjoy the next 4 years of your life at MIT..</p>
<p>Prime235: it's your 235th post!</p>
<p>For me, it's filled with readings of MIT blogs/while trying to deny the fact I have a gazillion AP exams to take in 2 months.</p>
