<p>Thank you MITChris and Mollie. I was one of those who unfortunately was not accepted, but want you to know that of all the schools I applied to, MIT was the only one who made the process accessible and transparent. Primarily because of both of you, but also the fantastic MIT website and blogs. I was dismayed yesterday to see negative posts criticizing the process -- when 18,000 people apply, there will be many with equally amazing credentials who are denied, and I realized this. I know there is another great school out there for me, and all the top schools are making the same difficult decisions. Thank you for your hard work and really trying to be there for everyone. When I see posters (like Jain Aman who has posted frequently with his desire for MIT) be so gracious in their denial, it says volumes about their strong character. But when I read some of the very negative posts from denied students, all I can say is that MIT really dodged a bullet and made the right choice. Thank you again Mollie and MITChris for being part of what makes MIT a very special place. I hope you hear that often.</p>
<p>Yes!!! Thanks Chris and Mollie and also Piper! You guys are so great and always very helpful! :)</p>
<p>Well said.</p>
<p>Another parent offering thanks to all of them for bearing with us through this process! Mollie has been great in answering PM’s to help me and Chris has been great both here and in both of my son’s 2015 and 2016 FB groups. Thank you!!!</p>
<p>Couldn’t have said it better. Another parent here thankful for advice and support through the process. Hope you are all able to take a few days of well deserved rest!</p>
<p>I appreciate the appreciation. 
I really enjoy moderating here, and I hope all the posters (and lurkers) (and children-of-posters) find a great place to go to college, whether that’s MIT or elsewhere.</p>
<p>Thank you <3</p>
<p>Yep, thanks a lot to all those who helped me apply to MIT/ discover myself :D</p>
<p>Umm…You forgot “lidusha”.</p>
<p>^ Now, if you think of it, even Piper :D</p>
<p>Nah. IsaacM already mentioned her in his post(check #2 of this thread). :P</p>
<p>^Oh, my bad then :D</p>
<p><3 you guys. :)</p>
<p>Same here <3</p>
<p>Thank you. That means a lot.</p>
<p>I am in the exact same position, and feel exactly the same way. Or at least I mentally “feel” that way, my emotions haven’t settled down quite yet.</p>
