<p>I was just checking MyMIT to see if my mid-year report had been processed or not, and I noticed something weird. It says that Evaluation B was processed on 01/18/2005, but my teacher sent it out sometime around 01/15/2005(!), so there's no way it could've reached MIT in time, let alone get processed. Also, the evaluations from the same teacher didn't reach any of the other schools I applied to.</p>
<p>What's up?</p>
<p>it takes about 2 days for mail to reach its destination :P</p>
<p>Err, not if you send it regular mail from Jordan?</p>
<p>ooo :) I didn't notice his place :)
well, then it is strange :D:D</p>
<p>you didn't hear?
MIT admissions uses time-travel technology to help process all of the applications.</p>
<p>emmittisgod - and now everyone knows this secret :)</p>
<p>We should sneak into the admissions office and travel forward in time to March 14th. O.o</p>
<p>or how about we try to cast a spell on Ben so he will accept us :D</p>
<p>That would be a good idea, except Ben doesn't admit anyone. The Committee admits people. :)</p>
<p>so maybe this spell would be like a disease :D and after few minutes everyone would love as so much that all cc would be accepted :D</p>
<p>But seriously... What's going on?</p>
<p>they have Hermione locked in a cage, and use her time-turner...</p>
<p>She might not let you use it to go to March 14th... Good idea though!</p>
<p>That's weird - are you sure your teacher didn't send it a bit earlier? Processed just means that we put it in your file, so I imagine that could happen very close to when we receive it.</p>
<p>I'm certain he didn't. Besides, all the other schools haven't received his recommendations so I think they got lost in the mail. I'm going to get him to fax all of them tomorrow, but I'm afraid it's too late for MIT (since I'm not an int'l applicant). :(</p>
<p>The only explanation I can think of is that MIT used my counselor's (a previous math teacher) recommendation from the secondary school report instead, which is fine I guess, but my teacher's recommendation is SO much stronger, since he taught me 3 different subjects for 3 years.</p>
<p>Is it really too late to fax it?</p>
<p>Gotcha. Yes, unfortunately it's too late, as your file has already been to committee... I wouldn't worry too much about a single rec though. It could have helped in the context of the overall app, but a single thing is unlikely to tip the scale.</p>
<p>ben..... how are you? :D lol...</p>
