<p>So many accepts! Where are the rejects? This is actually starting to scare me. Hopefully, the rejected/deferred students aren't sharing their notices on CC. If they are (and there aren't any unaccepted students here), then the rejection notices were reserved for us!!!</p>
<p>In any event, rejectees/deferees welcomed! PLEASE POST YOUR DECISIONS! Also, anyone who knows students who were rejected/deferred please have them join and post, if possible.</p>
<p>im from central fl, and i didn't get anything yet...how can miami get something so quick??? something fishy...where'd that come from anyway?</p>
<p>i'm now thinking that the tubes were sent out first. No one posted about their deferal, most likely meaning that no one got a deferral letter from MIT yet. There are way too many acceptees, too. I hope this doesn't mean that those who didn't get it yet and are still waiting for somekinda tube got deferred / rejected...</p>
<p>Most likely explanation of the mailings is simply random distribution. Like Brownian motion (lol), tubes are delivered to areas that is accessible and where the post office is likely to handle them in a timely manner. Based on the people who posted where they are, most of the areas are metro/urban areas, with little in suburban locations. We rly need to chill, because something is going to come anyway. Deferred ppl: they won't post, because the likelihood of their doing is is nil: too depressed and sad to go online.</p>
<p>Einsteiner, I really would love to believe your words. I honestly would. But if were deferred, I would certainly post.</p>
<p>Also, if last years thread is any indicator, people do post when they get deferrals.</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten anything in michigan yet? I'm west of grand rapids, and nothing yet.</p>
<p>anyone in the east coast get accepted today?
i'm getting convinced that all acceptance letters came yesterday</p>
<p>still haven't received anything in Texas. Called post office and they said they didn't have anything either.</p>
<p>Philadelphia, Pa-</p>
<p>got mine yesterday, sometime between 4 and 5!!
Good luck to everyone. Maybe the letter vs tube theory is true</p>
<p>I can confirm a classmate who applied EA didn't receive anything today</p>
<p>-central ohio</p>
<p>northeastern ohio, both myself and a classmate have not received anything</p>
<p>Hi, I'm new to this discussion. It's a shame I didn't find this site until last Friday.</p>
<p>Anyway, I live in a town about 20 miles ouside of Boston. 6 people from my school applied EA to MIT and only 3 have heard back, all acceptances. They heard back on Saturday, and at least one of the tubes was postmarked December 8 (Thursday).</p>
<p>I think the decisions that people are getting right now were the ones that made it out of Boston before the storm (which was on Friday). The letters/tubes that MIT sent at 1:52 on Friday were the <em>last</em> batch, not the whole batch, and were probably backlogged at the Boston post office due to the high volume of mail that that center has to process every day.</p>
<p>Another day and no word still in the Florida panhandle. :(</p>
<p>Still no word in Indiana :(</p>
<p>I like brian-mc's theory. It makes much more sense than other ones. </p>
<p>3/6 acceptance EA for your school. That's incredible.</p>
<p>If it means anything, all three were girls. </p>
<p>My grades and scores were not stellar (3.4 UW, 690M/690V/710W 30ACT), but my EC's were excellent, and I've been featured in a documentary movie on Energy of the future, which should be on TV or in theaters sometime in the spring. Why? I'll let my website speak for itself: <a href="http://www.brian-mcdermott.com%5B/url%5D">www.brian-mcdermott.com</a> . Essentially, I built a homemade tabletop hot fusion reactor, whose functionality was evaluated by an MIT professor. It is only one of 12-25 in the world, and was too hazardous and dangerous to enter in any science competitions.</p>
<p>Let me note that my school does not weight GPA's, is ranked #5 in the state, only offers 4 AP courses, and grades according to stringent criteria.</p>

<p>It still doesn't make too much sense though. Does that mean the batch MIT office sent out on Thursday are ALL accepts? Why aren't there any deferrals or rejections on Thursday?</p>
<p>I live just outside of Boston - three kids recieved theirs today or yesterday.</p>
<p>Hey all, I did not apply to MIT but I do know that 3 of my classmates got accepted to MIT + Caltech yesterday (2 with scholarships).</p>
<p>And I'm from Maryland.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> pretty soon all the golden tickets/tubes will be gone, and we'll be left with homely envelopes. gah gah, yuck.</p>
