<p>This is it guys! Everyone's app has been reviewed and decided upon, and we just have a week to go. Props to Matt and Ben and the rest of the adcom for working tirelessly AND providing us with frequent updates. Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>
phew...thank god I'm not a wonderful person....I guess that must mean I got accepted</p>
<p>very funny, cow. See, it pays to be a stinker!</p>
<p>I heard this,too! Great work admissions committee members! </p>
<p>I hope ya'll can now enjoy your fully deserved break</p>
<p>man...is it really decision time...i mean the past years work has finally come to a conclusion...</p>
<p>Yeah, this has such a finality to it...I hope it ends well!</p>
<p>I particularly hope it goes well, as I just got waitlisted for the top scholarship at my backup school. :(</p>
<p>Hopes aren't high though..</p>
<p>Firstly, let me explain my situation</p>
<p>I am an international student(Pakistani), who'se father was posted to India and I did my O ' levels from there. Since i was really good in my O level computer studies Class, I asked my teacher to send a reco to MIT. It never reached. I asked her to fax it, and she said that was against school policies. I then asked her to courrier this reco (along with others) to my uncle in the US and he can forward it by US Post. He did that AS soon as they reached. All the other colleges received it. and i was sure that MIT would have too (Theyre tracking was gone) but i just decided to check with them and this is what they said:</p>

<p>and now im really depressed hearing this news - especially because i was misinformed.</p>
<p>Omg, this is really sad.. MIT was my dream.. but this whole reco thing seems like a jinx...</p>
<p>Don't give up on your MIT dream! I think it is awful that a teacher is only concerned with following the "book" instead of doing what is right. Good luck, keep on trying to explain to the admission's office that the teacher will not fax because of some policy. I can't understand why a teacher would not do everything possible to help a student like you. This is really sad. Good luck!!!</p>
<p>wow, this is crazy. we've been waiting for this time to come for so long, and now that it's here...wow. our decisions have been made and there's nothing more we can do about it, so let's party it up!</p>
<p>How many of you all will be checking online? I am pretty confident about a rejection at this point, so I am goign to wait for the mail.</p>
<p>^^i'm not sure if i'm going to check online or wait for the mail. i mean, i'm pretty sure i'll be rejected. plus, i live in massachusetts so it will probably come on the same or next day via snail mail. i'm going to a show this coming saturday night, and if i was still anxious knowing that my decision was there but i couldn't bring myself to check it, i might not enjoy the show as much. so i dunno, i'm kinda torn between my decisions.^^</p>
<p>I'm going to check online. I can't stand the waiting, and I might as well get the disappointment over with.</p>
<p>i agree with s'vrone. Online it is for me.</p>
<p>online, mail, they're all the same to me now</p>
<p>I haven't decided yet. :/ I'll see how I feel that day, I guess. I'm going to be traveling out of the country for two weeks at the end of March/start of April, though, so I guess I'll have to check online if they haven't arrived by then to keep my mom from opening all the letters and then calling me long-distance. Or at least calling me long-distance to beg me to let her open them. Heh, she's so excited. :}</p>
<p>Heh, she's so excited. :}</p>
<p>Yeah, moms are like that sometimes. :)</p>
<p>I will wait for the post.</p>
<p>online for me</p>
<p>Good Luck to all of you who have applayed. I wish you the best of luck! Unfortunetly i still have 2-3 years until i applay to MIT. Wish me luck also. </p>
<p>Again best of luck, hope all of you make it!</p>
