Why'd I get denied? I just don't get it! MIT is so hard to get into!</p>
<p>HAHA...</p>
<p>WOW, you really must have a lot of time on your hands!</p>
<p>I was only 5 days off the predicted date of receipt--not 1 year, 5 days. As Matt McGann says in his thread on December 2nd, "We'll mail decisions out in about a week." Some of us can expect our results as early as Saturday! </p>
<p>Also, I'd recommend closing this thread since it might confuse an applicant of 2011 who doesn't notice the dates of these posts.</p>
