<p>Probably the greatest idea ever to send those admitted an over-sized toilette paper roll as a welcome into the MIT family, but any ideas what this marvel will contain and how they were shipped?</p>
<p>I luckily have this week partially off for finals and simply can't wait for the moment when the delivery person lugs the tube to my front door and hands it to me with a skeptic glare.</p>
<p>I'm hoping for a bumper sticker, personally. That's really all I'm asking for.</p>
<p>I need confetti to roll around in when I sleep.
A poster to frame and hang.
A t-shirt.
An official letter.
And a sticker would be nice for the car.</p>
<p>Is it wrong that just having the tube itself is what I'm looking forward to the most...? :-P</p>
<p>lolol me too! still haven't gotten mine</p>
<p>Actually, I would tend to agree with you, Speaker. The Tube is definitely coming to school with me the day after I get it for show and tell.</p>
<p>If its consistent with previous years it contains:
*Confetti
*Letter of Acceptance
*Certificate of Acceptance
*Poster (unique to each year .. my friend who lives in Conner 4 with the girl who designed it this year said she has seen it and she is jealous (compared to what she got EA '11) )
*10% of coupon for the COOP
*Boring paperwork (financial aid stuff.. etc)</p>
<p>I too would like a bumper sticker or something .. but don't expect that</p>
<p>So what do RD acceptances come with? I'm still hoping for a poster if I end up getting in.</p>
<p>Aw...I want a bumper sticker....</p>
<p>I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!</p>
<p>Ben, if you're reading this, take note- future acceptees (is that right? Firefox says that isn't a word.) will appreciate bumper stickers. Just FYI.</p>
<p>hmm i wonder if i have to be home to receive the tube or theyll just leave it at my door...</p>
<p>I hope the tube contains a letter promising to copy Harvard's new FA initiative...but a mom can dream, right? MIT's yield would probably shoot up even higher if they sent bumper stickers...now THAT'S a commitment! (esp. once all the neighbors see it... :D)</p>
<p>yea that would be pretty sick^^</p>
<p>@ red remote
from the picture in snively's blog, they are shipped priority mail which would mean 2-3 day average delivery</p>
<p>Lol. Before i got in, i spent too much time on CC worrying, now I'm done worrying but i still spend too much time on here.</p>
<p>I told a few kids that I got into MIT and their response was. "What's that? Michigan Institute of Technology? Is that in the UP?" A bumper sticker wouldn't do much good bragging with the neighbors around here either.</p>
<p>Priority mail is moving surprising quickly this holiday season despite the weather delays in the Mid-West and the quantity of mail being processed.</p>
<p>red remote: oh geez, i totally understand. my mom's co-worker asked me if it was mississippi institute of technology. if that indeed existed, it wouldnt be much of an improvement from ITT tech...
I WANT MY TUBE!</p>
<p>I've just started clarifying that I'm going to "MIT in Massachusetts." That way, it rules out MichTech and about 5 seconds of confusion.</p>
<p>I have the same exact problems. The other day.. I told someone that I applied to MIT and was REALLY nervous and they were like "Where's that? Miami?"</p>
<p>Apparently in my town the world ends at the Florida/GA border. </p>
<p>But hey, it's more about us knowing that we got into one of the best schools in the world than anyone else knowing, right?</p>
<p>Oh, sorry for the double post, but, I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU GUYS AT CPW!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!</p>
<p>yes, I'm quite excited to meet other kids like me. I've noticed that it's becoming increasingly more difficult for me to communicate with my peers because our interests are so varied: They want to drink, smoke, and play video games at a state school while I have a genuine interest to learn for the sake of knowledge.</p>
