The Official Calling of the Official Decisions Thread... Officially

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>Hi, guys. I'm doing this simply at Tong's and Waffle's urging.</p>

<p>Anyways, I've had the Official EA Decisions Thread called for over a month now. Just in case [url=<a href="http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/early_action_decisions.shtml%5Dthis%5B/url"&gt;http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/early_action_decisions.shtml]this[/url&lt;/a&gt;] blog entry has tempted you to start a decisions thread, don't. It's already been called. I've wanted to go to this school since 7th grade, and you're not stealing this thread from me now.</p>

<p>By the way, while you're chewing your nails with anxiety and trying desperately to sooth yourself by curing cancer, practicing the 4 languages you speak fluently, and saving the starving children in China, you should probably make sure that your MIT.edu login works by trying it [url=<a href="https://decisions.mit.edu/verify.php%5Dhere%5B/url"&gt;https://decisions.mit.edu/verify.php]here[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

<p>OK? I will not actually be around when decisions come online- I'm working 11-7.</p>

<p>And another by the way- the decisions thread will go up Friday night around either 5 or 11 (I'm working 6-11; I'm really sure God hates me this week). For now, you can stress out here so we don't have 10 pages of stressing before we get to decisions.</p>

<p>Have a good week, and please don't stress too much. Que sera, sera. It's out of your hands now.</p>

<p>love the title ^^

i blame the snow day</p>

<p>bump
10 char</p>

<p>Honestly, my entire outlook on this week has changed in the 10 seconds it took to read the first lines....and boy if I don't get cell reception in the mountains of NH...its not going to be good =/</p>

<p>after trying that decisions.mit.edu thing...i got EXTREMELY excited, and it definitely feels too real now...lol</p>

5

<p>haha, thought you guys might like the title.</p>

<p>Seriously, this is so surreal. I can't believe we're finding out in 5 days. When did this growing up stuff happen?</p>

6

<p>It really is too soon. </p>

<p>"You have successfully confirmed your ability to view your decision online, which will be available beginning at 12:00PM EST (Eastern Standard Time) on Saturday, December 15."</p>

<p>haha, I sense a bit of sarcasm in that statement for those, like myself, who are paranoid enough to think they just might release decisions early.</p>

7

<p>haha That is an interesting way to phrase it. It's like "Please don't start obsessively refreshing this starting midnight Saturday, OK? It doesn't work that way."</p>

8

<p>AHHHH hahah</p>

<p>Haha ducktape are you shannon? I was looking at your xanga blog from your MIT admissions site post and that person was talking about having to work from 11-7 too. Check out my blog too omar-abu.blogspot.com. Hopefully we all get in!</p>

10

<p>Yeah, I'm Shannon. I just thought people might enjoy the last blog post in light of the decisions date announcement.</p>

11

<p>where is the 2011 decisions thread? i'm probably retarded, but i can't find an official one? can someone pleeeasse link me?</p>

12

<p>Here you go. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/272448-official-mit-2011-ea-decision-thread.html?highlight=decisions+2011%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/272448-official-mit-2011-ea-decision-thread.html?highlight=decisions+2011&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Just a warning: it's not reassuring.</p>

13

<p>Yeah i just posted one on my blog too...using a picture i found in yours haha.</p>

14

<p>thanks ducktape. and ahh yeah i don't even know why i'm gonna go read it, it'll probably just make everything worse!</p>

15

<p>what are both of your blogs? i want to go read</p>

16

<p>Mine is omar-abu.blogspot.com</p>

17

<p>shmor's</a> Xanga Site</p>

<p>A lot of it has been college recently, but I've gotten back into the weird-stories-from-my-life mode.</p>

<p>That, and if you guys haven't noticed, my "Currently Listening to:" at the bottom of each post matches the theme-ish of the blog entry.</p>

18

<p>Yea ducktape i noticed you applied to UMichigan too. That's my backup if i dont get into any ivys/MIT. I wouldnt mind going there though cuz their engineering is great.</p>

19

<p>Yeah, I'm instate, so it was basically a given that I'd apply there.</p>

<p>I don't want to go.</p>

20

<p>Oh you are! I am too. Kalamazoo specifically (stay back internet predators). Did you do the MMPC?? Part 2 was fun haha...</p>

<p>EDIT: Yeah i dont want to go really either unless i get rejected everywhere else, which i hope is unlikely. I went to their tech day and did not really like it there.</p>
