Thank you for keeping us posted...
Everybody keep your hopes up :D

first!!! yes!

first

MIT decisions on Pi day and Einstein's birthday. Awesome. Too bad transfers are a bit later.

*squeal*

Well, let's wait for Saturday to come. Thanks for taking the time to review all our applications!

:O

I am extremely nervous... 11 am PDT for me.

Good luck everyone!

Heh, 1:59

3.14159
:P

Funny, I hadn't figured out the 3.1459....

Doesn't anybody find it really weird that so many people are just itching to write "first" as soon as an entry is published ??? :D

AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!! ALMOST THERE!!!!

But, I was expecting another 10 days, at the very least, so NEAT!! Thank you admissions department!

Wow! Time to miss some more sleep!

Matt, ur comment really made me laugh :D
Really, thanks a million...

oh my god! I totally didn't even think this would be here... seeing as how I was on this site only a few hrs ago

all I saw was matt's picture and 3/14
pi day!! ^_^

My only hope is God.

Whoa, this is a pleasant surprise. Too bad it makes the remaining five days seem even longer. Somehow the fact that its on pi day didn't surprise me. :)

Oh man...

By the way, does anyone else have the "invalid security certificate" page load error? MIT error? Surely not. :) I bet it's just my computer, I'll try another one later.

I love the fact that it is on pi day. to the exact hour and minute! (too bad I live on the West coast...but I can still appreciate it)

@Brian: I got the same error,too. I just clicked on continue and got into the decisions.mit.edu webpage.

Pi day!!! 3.14159! I love it!

that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'd jump the life to come

- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 1.7

me(now): oh my god, am I nervous??
me (if rejected) : oh my god...
me (if accepted) : mmm...
I like mmming...
mmm...

I had to explain to my German language teacher today that Pi does not actually equal 22/7. I then also had to explain to him the concept of an irrational number. Oh well... i guess there's a reason some people are liberal arts majors :D

I find out the decision about 5 minutes before I got on vacation. I can so see it making/breaking the trip :)

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

OMG. . . I'm so not going to get in. . . I'm so nervous. . . I knew they were going to release it on Pi Day, but the actual official announcement makes me anxious

@matt: hey. My name is Abdel-karim, did you accept me?

Only God can help me!!! Keep ur hopes alive everybody, I guess that's what MIT students r meant to do!!! good luck

After being deferred Early Action applicant, I am finally glad to see the wait coming to an end. Good luck everybody! I hope to make it in so I can meet some of you during CPW!

Also, when decisions are released, we at MyMIT.info are hosting a chat. Feel free to join! http://chat.mymit.info/

Good luck everybody!

eeeee! is that when the official reply form will become available too??

Hey Abdel-Karim, your from Egypt right ? I think from showaifat (ma3lesh mesh 3aref aktebha :D )
does that mean that ur from Sannaweya Amma ?
I'm from Egypt too btw :D

Good luck, everyone!~

Good luck, everyone! I can't believe all the waiting is coming to an end (and frankly, I'm not sure I want it to end).

holy.....

I'm getting sick........

I'm going to be in Israel for a physics competition so I'm going to have to wait 7 hours longer than everyone else! :(

Apparently Firefox and Opera don't like the security certificate because the URL doesn't match the one in the link or something.

The link in Matt's post (decisions.mit.edu) leads to:
https://decision.mit.edu/
which lacks an "s" on decision.

The link should lead to:
https://decisions.mit.edu/
which has an "s".

So, just just change the url a bit to get to the site.

GOOOD!!! Please help us! I can't wait till saturday... yeah guys, we're gonna do it, hope to see all of you in CPW, we better be possitive about this... good luck everyone!!!!!

Thank you so much for the notice.

Also, love the pi reference.

OMG I can't believe it's this Saturday (actually Sunday for me)... It seems so soon and I'm not sure if I want it to end! Love the pi reference though...

"as easy as pi"
lol

I'M EXCITED.

I'm so NERVOUS!!! only 4 days left!!!!

Is it okay if I start to panicking now?

arghh, can't even type properly now.

sorry for the double post.

Shouldn't it be 34 seconds before 2pm? After all, it is 3.1415926...

But then we'd have to wait an extra 26 seconds to know, and I'm not sure I can wait that much longer!

the hour of judgement draweth near . . .

and I can't decide if it's good or it's bad that it comes on a long weekend when I'm going to be home from my residential school.

FINALLY....

O.O I am extremely nervous. Hopefully my deferral turns into an acceptance.

Good luck everyone! I can't wait to meet the rest of our class ^.^

Good luck everyone!!!

wow! I'm so nervous! good luck everyone!!!!

Thanks so much to the admissions office for suffering through all our applications! I just wanted you guys to know, that whatever the outcome, I appreciate all the time you spent on the decision process.
On the other hand.........ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Does it help if I send a last-minute cake to the admissions office? It is nice that we are all going to know if the whole process was just a PITA or if we got accepted although I prepared for at least 6 more days to start to panic.

This will be heartbreaking...

There will be lots, lots of broken heart!!!

yay!! The wait is now...I would say over, but I think the next five days will be excruciatingly long.

If I'm admitted to MIT, I will receive a dog as a present. what do you think I should call him/her?

Give your suggestions here>

http://thenameofmydog.blogspot.com/

ahh...by the way....I'm extremely scared, too!!!!!...I cannot wait until saturday :S!!!

Good luck everyone!

Don't worry, I'll be here at 1:57 when the decisions *actually* go up! hah.

11:00 AM for me.
*Sigh*

Good luck everyone! It's pretty cool that the decisions are coming out during the middle of our FIRST robotics regional. I can't wait!

*prays* ... *prays some more* ... *can't find anything constructive to say so prays a bit more* ...

Last time I was excited, now I'm just sick.

veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy nervous. I want to finaly leave a message on this board after reading all of these post for months. No matter what though, all of us appling to MIT have the potential to do things that others could only dream of. So whether you get in or not just keep pushing forward on your goals.

I am feeling sick now. I can't even do my homework! So nervous...

@ Suji
Me too! I cannot even handle this!
My homework has been sitting in front of me blank since I read this!

Oh my goodness the moment of truth is so close at hand! Thank you Matt and admissions counselors for working so hard to get through the massive amount of applications this year. I wish everyone luck for the future, no matter where you go to school next year you are going to be successful!!!

Matt,

I'd be curious to see a cumulative plot of the percentage of applicants who log in to my.mit in the minutes and hours following the release of decisions.

Do such statistics exist, and is the Admissions staff expecting a sudden surge in downtime? It would make a dominant blog entry.

Finally! Good luck everyone!

...so of course I'll be at the FIRST robotics Florida Regional! XD
-Jamo

If accepted (big if...) do the financial aid offers arrive same time?

3/14. day of my prom.

wow. saturday is either going to be the best day of my life or the worst.

i guess we'll see soon enough.

Your name in pi in base 27: http://www.dr-mikes-maths.com/pisearch.html

@ Jamo -- LOL it's Pittsburgh's FIRST Regional too. That means waiting in anticipation until 6 in the evening to get it! And I thought that MIT and FIRST worked together? ;) But OMG- decisions. In 5 days. Not expected. Keep your fingers crossed!

YES! Decisions on Pi Day! ...This is why I love MIT. xD

lol "as easy as pi."

Good luck everyone!!!

Curse it! I won't have internet or phone access that day! I'll be staying in hotels out of the country for that whole week!

Wow, thanks Matt and admissions team! It's nice that they give everyone a heads up, unlike some other colleges that will remain unnamed lol. Wagh! I'm so nervous...I'll be gone with my choir that whole weekend, so hooray for hotel wifi!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Oh, the anxiety! Oh, the pain of waiting for Godot!

And don't forget, you'll need to have decisions up at 26.53598979323846 seconds after 1:59... :P

But really, good luck to everyone...and best of luck to everyone competing this weekend at FIRST regionals! Win or lose, you'll have something to come home to (or check while you're there). I hope everyone thinks it's a good thing!

wow good job me!!! nice job screwing up pi... but that's what you get for mis-remembering. :P

good luck everyone!

So the rumor was true...T_T

Anyways, I'd rather see it sooner than later. :) so YAY!

I'm now patiently waiting for Chris to post up another song of encouragement...

Good luck guys :)
I'll be suffering from the nervousness in a year, and hopefully I'll be able to meet many of you :P.

~Julio ('14?)

Ahh Mika. Love love love.

omg........ thanks so much for confirming the date :D
scared outta my mind ugh

Sweet! Pi day will be a defining moment in my life!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm finally going to be able to get rejected and move on with my life;-)

Wow, this is more exciting than opening a Christmas gift box... ohhh.. nerve-raking... yet excited to see the results... can't wait..

Wow, this is more exciting than opening a Christmas gift box... ohhh.. nerve-raking... yet excited to see the results... can't wait..

Wow. It's just like MIT to release decisions on pi day. The simple beauty of MIT's culture will be experienced by all applicants on that day and time...can't wait =D I probably don't have a chance, but definitely and sincerely, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!

@ Kiwi
My thoughts exactly.
good luck!

"Good luck to everyone!

I'm finally going to be able to get rejected and move on with my life;-)"

lol, Same thoughts in my head, Kiwi ^^

So, decisions after orchestra then. at least I have music festival all week to distract me from being impatient.

Good luck to all the applicants!

can't wait....hope i get in....
good luck to everyone else

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!!!

the day has finally arrived!..or arriving to be precise...good luck everyone!

Good Luck Everyone!! Wow... I can't believe we'll all know our futures in 5 days.

@Lightman and perhaps some others: Haha me too. WA FIRST Robotics, why are you on π day?!?!

omg i'm so excited/nervous! no matter what happens, the humor of the timing was SO worth the wait. good luck everyone! if i get in i'm definitely buying a pi day 09 shirt

Yeesh, I've already been accepted in December and made my little good luck post here, but this is such a tense atmosphere you guys have gotten ME all excited and nervous!

Everyone! You've done your best and put your hearts into your applications! I'm sure you can all be proud of what you've done so far even if you don't get in!

More importantly, decisions don't come out until Saturday! So just have fun until then! Read a manga or something! One Piece is my personal favorite!

http://onemanga.com/One_Piece/1/01/

good luck to everyone

If I'm admitted to MIT, I will receive a dog as a present. what do you think I should call him/her?

http://thenameofmydog.blogspot.com/

It's almost over! Soon I can accept that I'm not smart enough to go to MIT.

I have my Chem final a day later. Chem of all things.

"Think about how you answered question 3a on our application (“what do you do purely for fun?”). Try to fill your days with that, and decisions will be here before you know it."

I really am doing that lol.

Thank you for not delivering the decisions on Friday, which is the 13th. :)

I can't help but feel a *little* bit jealous :P

I wanted pi day !

Good luck everyone

Oh no... at 11am Pacific I will be halfway through *another* college tour!!! Haha I wonder if it'd be rude to tell the tour guide that I need to stop off and use a computer in the library.

Honestly, it was just like yesterday when I was writing my essays....dammit.......stupid time it's suppossed to dialate not contract......and its gonna be like midnight over here when the decisions come out......and I have a bio final monday...........AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

anyway, best of luck everyone,

Hey guys, a small poem I composed for y'all.

The work is done, the stage is set,
The decisions are made, not released yet,
We did our part, don’t you fret,
What you deserve, you will undoubtedly get!

If you’re admitted, CONGRATULATIONS!
Brighten your lives with deserved celebrations,
If you’re denied, don’t fall to desperations,
A brighter sun rises on the other horizon!

Remember friends the probabilities,
15600 applications for 1500 odd seats,
Only a tenth of us will get the treats,
Don’t forget, they aren’t the only sweets!

And Internationals, look at this,
120 seats is what it is,
But even if MIT gives a goodbye kiss,
You have your own country to reckon with.

MIT is a dream for us all, no doubt,
But it isn’t a place for such a large crowd,
Understandable reasons force them to say “OUT”,
Respect their decision, don’t call for a bout.

Rejection from MIT mustn’t lead to depression,
Rather, force you to seek salvation,
As the truth is now out in the open,
A brighter sun rises on the horizon!

Well that’s it. Basically what I want to say is, we’ve done our part. Whatever be the outcome, let’s take it in our stride and move on. Just because you’re rejected doesn’t mean you’re inferior to one who got accepted. All it means is there is a better path out there for you. You just have to find it. That having been said, all the best to us all! Have a peaceful wait!!!!

thats dilate, sorry

Cool release date. I can't wait to Saturday (actually, the time will be 1:59am Sunday in my country)

Thanks Varun! That was really reassuring.
Good luck to everyone! I'm so nervous, but I know what ever happens is for the best!

OH MY GOD THEY'RE ALL SO NERDY

@Anon
Does that suprise you?

Pi day?! Pi time?! I LOVE MIT!!!!!!!! You prefrosh better appreciate this. So awesome!!

My heart is beating out my chest at the thought.

I wonder how things will turn out...

Cool!! A big thank you to the MIT admissions staff for having taken the time and care to review each one of our applications! Being an applicant myself, as such theres not much to be said, except for fingers crossed!!! I'd reckon Saturday would be a miracle for several of us! Lets keep counting down
Cya!
Sankly

I am soooooooooo nervous.Allah will help us allllllll.

My fingers are trembling. So, excuse me for all spelling and gramatical mistakes. I'll have just finished my math exam that day and I am veryyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy nervous !! Good luck guys !!

3.14 going to be either the happiest moment of my life or the worst. It all depends what my Lord wants. I've faith on HIM.

relax, take it easy.

Regardless of what decision is, all of you are great and will find rightful place in the sun. There will be "Life after Pi" (!) and I am sure it will be terrific for all of you, within or without.

Cheers and all the best for a bright future!

Thanks, Matt. You've been a great help.

I just want to say good job to everyone at admissions for getting everything done in time for pi day despite the record number of applications. As a deferred EA applicant, I can say I was pleasantly surprised by the earliness of both results.

On a side note, I will be more or less on the downbeat for the matinee performance of our school's musical (Beauty and the Beast) at the pi second. I guess I can safely say I will have much, much to think about besides.

Good luck to everyone! I'm still anxiously holding out for MIT, but I found out last Friday I got in to Caltech, which reduced my overall stress significantly. I was curious who else applied and how they did (I know a lot of people apply to both).

Pi day, Einstein and Linux day
last two days i was surfing around sun.com and download solaris, that's what i did for march 14.
linux penguin pi.
i burned a solaris dvd at 4 am, looking for blank dvd, end up unwrapping the dvd box they gave to me as their honor student; they give dvd's without cookies:(

certificate phail! lol its APR packet poisoning!!!ohnoez!!

but pi day + pi time? i'll be too busy eating pie LOL!
pi
pie
pye
pyi
pyie

Good luck everyone!

HAHA, Chris. I am in the exact same position as you are in. I got accepted to CalTech last week but I would really love to go to MIT, after being deferred. Good luck to both of us!

meh; I don't know if I really have a chance....especially after not being accepted into caltech

Early Action
Regular Action
Regular Decision
Elegant Decision

if it was 6 words i would post it to Daniel's blog

AHHHHH DECISIONS COME OUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SCIENCE OLYMPIAD COMPETITION!!! If I check it will DEFINITELy screw me over for the rest of the day no matter what the outcome is haha sigh I guess I will endure a couple extra hours :(
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!

Yes finally decisions--

best of luck to everyone that includes me too!!!-

At last! Decisions are ready! Yay!! I bet this post is going to have one of the longest comment columns!

Thanks Matt, you always have answers for my questions!!
GOOD LUCK EVERY ONE :)

OMG!! only 4 days to go!!

good luck to everyone!

Maharaj ji, all I need are your blessings. I have full faith in you. :)

Hey matt!!

How many people who have not taken the interview have been admitted??
I am not talking about those whose interview has been waived...

Please reply back Matt... Please do. I am nervous since I have not been able to take an interview....

@anonymous

All you can do is pray dude,

Infact, thats all we all can do..

Woah lot of posts.
Nervous.
Okay calm. =)

Does anyone know if this date is also applicable to the graduate admissions decisions?

The decision date is came as a surprise even though I'd open this website EVERY single day, just in the hope of knowing it...time flies! :)
Let's pray to God for the best...and hey, if anyone(including myself) is not able to make it through...it probably is for the best...NEVER lose hope!:)!
Good luck everyone!!

It'll be right in the middle of two events at my Science Olympiad regionals. Good thing I clairvoyantly cleared out the next period, so I wouldn't have to run to Ecology with a heavy heart... or get a heart attack and try to test through that =D

^no, only for freshman

graduates and transfers later.

@Mina Asel: lol, Choueifat, 3aref ezay?Maba3melsh sanawaya 3ama, ba3mel AP's wa IGCSE's? Inta fe 2ay madrasa? BTW, good luck!

more than 150 responses in less than a day, i guess its a new record for any blog!
dear applicants, there is no need to panic, but you know what, we should panic because MIT is worth extreme panic!

Vale, if you got admitted i guess you should call your dog RADAW ( Regular Action Decisions Are Wonderful), if you get rejected you should call it RAD....
anyway you will not get a dog if you get rejected!!!

Im playing "shipping out to Boston" by dropkick murphys if im accepted :P, good luck everybody! :D wish you all the best and hope to see you at one of the best unis in the world!:D

i cant wait untill saturday, time is turtoring me!
Matt you are the best man in the world! can you tell me whether i got admitted or not

wat is intrnational student admission rate

@anonynimous: 4 percent.

Oh Boy..

@Abdel-karim: I'm in SFS doing Igcses and Als, bas ana makontesh 3aref en masr fiha APs aslan :S.
Bas a7san 7aga enak mesh sannaweya 3amma :D
Wishing us both good Luck...

what??? international student admit rate is FOUR PERCENT??? That is INSANE. haha all i need now is a miracle :)

St. Fatima?. . . I did my IG's there. . . Well good luck!. . . Who do you know in Choueifat?

I hope i can get in. good luck everyone!

what??? international student admit rate is FOUR PERCENT??? That is INSANE. haha all i need now is a miracle :)

anonymous,if you are lucky enough you will get admitted even if the admission rate is 0.314159.

i know people who had no chance at anything but they still succeeded in them.

you know that lots of genuis applicants are rejected and some who are so much worse get admitted, i guess the admissions office see beyond what is obvious, but you know what, if you truly believe in yourself pie moment is going to be party moment!

that's really late here,and...
off to see a counselor

thnx for the update...I am now totally prepared to miss loads of sleep...not worrying just you know thinking. still tho God is my ONLY hope!

@ Marwan Q,

I didn't mean to post as Anonymous earlier but I'm guessing you answered my previous question..but I'm an unlucky person by default. So anyway, Good Luck to everyone else!

Pi Day = D Day ... toDay suffering from inferiority complex =( ... saw some stats of geniasses [no offence intended =)] on blogs and google [yes...google searches of their names give around 5-10 links =O] ... now im tensed ... best of luck to all of u!

Pi day ... either make or break D@y !!

My best guess is that the decisions are made and they are just delaying the results until pi day. Who wants to join me in breaking into the school and finding out early?

and the tension builds...

Argh! Just realised the decision comes out at 3am, my time zone. Now i'm gonna have to wake up, and either not go to sleep cos I got in, or not go to sleep cos I didn't =S

Good luck, all! :) I'm applying this autumn, so next year it will be me waiting for the decision, lol.
What's it like?

@Anonymous

It's like love. Can't say till you experience it :P

So true, Rahul. SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Ha!

I was hoping beyond hope that it would be on the 14th...

I've wanted to go to MIT since I was 4, so finding out if I got in is almost a culminating point in my life. Also, my nickname has become Pi. I'm obsessed with Pi, and the concept of irrationality (125 digits memorized). The fact that the decision will be made at exactly Pi-Time(?) seems very, very fitting.

I've got insane. What are you guys doing till the decision comes out?

obsessed with Pi? Why so? i prefer Phi, it's much more...mysterious.

people who are asking matt for decision now: YOU ARE NOT ADMITTED FOR SURE.

i became so evil lastly. now i am starting to be insane too. HAHAHAHA

Hey guys, has anyone thought about what he/she is doing if not get accepted? I have all of these thought accumulated now.

hmmmm... finally..... it's going be out!!!!!! good luck everyone!!!!! let's hope for the best....

MAN I can not wait! What a day that will be. It will be pi-day on the dot, I'll be @ a Vex robotics comp. & I will find out if I got in to MIT or not. WOW, Good Luck everybody and Best of wishes!

It's finally here, guys and girls. The big one.

Here's wishing the bestestestest of luck to everyone- whatever the results turn out to be, it was AMAZING to be a part of the MIT 2013 Applicants' Community.

Everything was amazing- rushing here to check for updates- freaking out about interviews and "unreceived" portions of the app- staying up, being high on caffeine and working on the app- discussing and crapping at the unofficial chat-room (:])- going crazy at Yan’s food entries, Snively’s sense of humor, Lulu’s funny-amazing entries and everyone else’s oh-so-amazing posts.

Everything has been one long roller-coaster journey- with the highs and lows, high hopes at times and complete utter hopelessness at other times.

I just want to say it's been amazing knowing each one of you- some I know personally (you guys are awesome!) and others whose comments I just read at the blogs (and who answered and replied to my comments)- I really think each one of you is amazing- just the fact that you thought you could do it and took the step to press the “submit” button shows you’re something! Congratulate yourself for being awesome enough to apply.

Hope to see you all at MIT! Hope that I get to see MIT myself! Hope it all turns out fine. Hope He continues to bless us.

Thanks Matt, the rest of the awesome admissions’ committee and the bloggers for reading our apps, answering our endless questions, telling us about MIT in all its awesomeness! Thanks applicants- for making it all so much fun with all those jokes and discussions on the comments! Thanks hackers and a special mention to Colton- for the unofficial chat and all the unexpected fun. Thanks to all the others who’ve always been there to talk to me when I go OMG! I WANT TO GO TO MIT! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and run in circles and panic- Dhok, Mr. A, Adr, Doo, Spi, X- etc. etc. (you guys know who you are)! Thanks you everyone for making the experience what it was.

I guess I should end this here! MIT Applicants 2013 FTW! Hope we make it! ☺

OK. that came out longer than intended! :) Haha!

Pi Day! That's so exciting.

So we're soon going to be informed of their decicions...I think it would be 23:29 (Kabul time) for me. Thank you Admissions Department.

I would like to tell my fellow candidates not to be nervous. It'll be just the outcome of all the factors involved, most of which, if not all - although that's another story, are not in our control. We could've done (or not done) anything about it earlier.

I, myself, am waiting for a "rejection", so that if I am accepted, I'll really be happy, and if I get rejection, it shouldn't hurt me alot.

@AbdulHamidAziz : Aren't we all ? :(

Yeah Pi
I first want to pay respect to everyone in admission office, every blogger, and all EC's who helped us through the whole admission process
I am staying optimistic and I hope everyone reading this is
I also hope that MIT found what they were looking for in an applicant in me
Good luck for all

God Speed!

The worst part is, I have to wait even longer until April 1st for Stanford Admissions.

Rankeya: seem to be pretty bored- lol! so you lurking at the chatroom! LOL! :)

Semper fi, people, semper fi...

YAY!!!!!

Alexandre Dumas: "All human wisdom is summed up in two words: wait and hope"

Seems as if Dumas crafted this quote specifically for MIT Admission Decisions!
I have a quote which usually lightens my mood when I experience a setback : "Just because my ship sails out of sight, doesn't mean the journey ends, it just means the river bends" =)

i almost got a schock when i received MIT's email thinking it was the decision results.

haha, scared the hell out of me.

^this translates it all.

snap, I won't be home to see this until late Sunday. daaang!

Exactly 4 more days! Good luck everybody.

And many thanks to Matt!

OMG!!!! 3/14. I'll be in the airplane flying back to Korea for the sprng break. I hope I could scream in delight when I get back home. Everybody good luck!

Bah! For the past three months I've been mentally preparing for March 20. Now it's six days earlier!!!!!

Oh man oh man !!!

:( ! /dies

"actually, we’ll probably have decisions posted a minute before 2pm."

LOL

Good luck, all. Try to breathe a little before pi day/time. I know it will be a struggle for me.

Either way, though--be ready to struggle and succeed at MIT or somewhere else. We are all capable of greatness. MIT has the resources to help us accomplish that, but in the end, it all comes back to us. We can do anything. Don't give up if you don't make it.

Celebrate and be incredibly proud if you do.

Best of luck, all.

Ok guys, I have waited for this moment for the last 2 years so its scary.... I am a little sad that in 4 days time all hope of being an MIT Student will be gone since I will either KNOW that I am an MIT student or I will know that I am NOT an MIT student... I will no longer be able to "Hope" to be one.

Well, I tried my best and the outcome really does not change what I have learned in the last 2 years.

I guess, all of us are MIT students even if we don't go to MIT since an MIT student is a person who never gives up and can always find new ways of realizing their dreams...

Sorry guys, I am rambling on, anyway good luck to every one and hope that maybe, just maybe I will be standing by that Great Dome and thinking back at this moment.

Woot, pi day! That's awesome. Now, how do I survive till then...

Relax...

wow...so many comments

4 more days...nice, thank God this wait is coming to an end.

good luck to everyone!!!

will definitely be at the chat Colton...hopefully with great news.

good luck again to us all!!!

oh my god...the day is almost here!! I need a miracle..I LOVE MIT =)) .. ahhhhh.. the wait is painful.. GOOD LUCK to everyone.. hopefully we'll all see each other at this wonderful place next year.. =)

You all every body
YOu all every body....................
Thanks Matt

Just remember.....whatever happens was meant to be. So don't worry! Be happy :-)

(I know this seems a bit optimistic...but work with me here!)

*does happy dance because now i'll know before i go to France*

What a pleasant treat! Results so early! But hopefully this won't ruin Pi Day, or spring break for that matter.

Oh gosh. This is going to be my first decision for a major school that I actually have a desire to go to. I'm nervous, excited, and freaked out all simultaneously. My emotions are going on overdrive! I wonder if I can last another few days at this rate. Ah!

Good luck to everyone!!!!!

YaY! Thank you MIT!

Good Luck ;D

regardless of the outcome, thanks for everything, you guys are amazing; I can't believe you have already finished reviewing them all, but we appreciate the shorter wait!

Take heart. You are who you are, and you tried your best. The rest is in the hands of the Gods.

Remember this- if you don't get in, it doesn't make you a failure. It's just the powers that be making sure you go to place that suits you best.

Good luck to all. I hope to see you next year, perhaps at MIT.

Peace. And if you get in, do those of us who don't proud!

@Fouad

Believe me, I hope for you the best, but with a post like that, aren't you just tempting fate to waitlist you?

♫ "You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need... (MIT?)" ♫

I was so disappointed when I was deferred at early action, I'm not sure I want to feel that again if I'm rejected for real this time.

And I'm gonna be on a church retreat until 6pm saturday, so not only will I have to wait several extra hours, but also I'll be focused on MIT the whole time I'm on the retreat.

Good luck to everyone else. After seeing how excited you all are about the 3.14159 thing, I know MIT's about to get a lot of cool, geeky kids like me (even if I'm not one of them).

Typical MIT. That's just one of the reasons I really want to go here.

Oh, and Suji. I feel your pain.

When people used to ask me what I wanted to do when I grow up, I would respond:

"I want to go to MIT".

They would ask why?

"Because it is nerdy!"

Haha.
That is the five year old me.
And here my fate has already been determined, and is unfortunately completely out of my hands. I suppose we don't always get our 5 year old dreams, but it would be amazing.....

Yay! I was hoping sooooo badly we'd find out on Pi day! since I'm living on the west coast, i'm actually tempted to wait until 1:59 my time just for the beautiful mathematical symbolism and all...but I don't know if I'll be able to handle those three hours!!!

Plus I'll be RIGHT in the middle of southern california's regional FIRST robotics competition! aaaa!

I have already come to the conclusion that I will not get in (pessimist as I am) but, hey I hope everyone who does has the TIME OF THEIR LIVES! It might not hit you all right away, but the next 4 years will be AMAZING FOR YE! (yes I just said "ye")

As for me, off to state uni, somewhere where it is not 50k a year lol. *big hugs for all accepted*

MIT is amazing : ) Good luck all RA applicants!

Bleh, I'm all for people saying "I don't expect it, but it would be so amazing to get in!" but there are WAY too many people who act like they don't have a chance.

If you really believed that, you wouldn't have applied, and you won't check your admissions decision on Saturday. *clonks all of you on the head manga-style* So stop saying such pessimistic things!

^ haha.. my first name is "ye"
thanks, nate xD

Actually, on second thought I think I'd rather check at 3.14159 MIT time, not california (for multiple reasons) :)

@ Nate,
you NEVER KNOW! what came first, the chicken or the egg??
THE EGG. so don't coun't em early. (yess i just referenced two cliches in the same sentence) at least optimism is more fun..go for the gold!

..and listen to MIKA's "Relax, Take it Easy" while you're at it... :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw&feature=related

merged game. all but the lower right square open!

wow. i've waited for half a year now, considering that i submitted my application early fall. JUDGEMENT DAY HAS FINALLY COME! i think i'll go get a couple of pies for saturday, lol. if i get in, i'm gonna celebrate by eating them all; if i don't get in, i'm gonna cry and eat them all while watching "Good Will Hunting", mourning the fact that i can't re-create my version of the movie. so i get pie either way. yay. good luck everyone!

From this point on, just post your favorite type of pie or the type you are most hungry for.

I am SO hungry for key lime pie. It is totally my favorite. If the radius of the pie is 5 inches, I could eat a third of the pie right now.

I am checking the website every 5 hours or so, although i know the results are online on Sat. ... Can't wait...

hands are sweaty
face is red
this blog made me hold my breath

good luck

thanks for the heads-up, and good luck to everyone

I love MIT

Gosh I can't wait! Staying possitive, and excited! I have a slow internet connection but I am so determined to get on exactly at 1:59! Thank you so much for giving us all the chance!

My chapter of National Math Honor Society is trying to get all the memebers to make awesome t-shirts to wear on friday to school to celebrate ... pre-pi day?... haha I'm going to try to wear my nifty shirt at 1:59 for the mass unveiling.

Anyway pi day and Einstein are basically awesome. I respect both haha. Break a leg to, good luck, may the force be with you to me and all the others out there. Good luck everyone!

haha....
only MIT would want to give out decisions on Pi day!

Nice, Neesha; on pie day, I'm going to be having a little of apple pie, blueberry pie, pumpkin pie, and chocolate pie.

The last one is my favorite, because chocolate pudding in pie = godlike.

And Shahla, I can completely sympathize. I did the same thing (checking every couple hours a week before decisions were announced XD) for EA decisions!

omg omg omg i cannot wait!! thank you~ admissions!

Best of luck everyone!

Shouldn't it be 3/14 1:59AM instead? 3/14 1:59PM => 3.141359 which is NOT Π!

@Π=3.1415926...

If you are going to use military time(the 24 hour clock) then it would be 01:59 and that really wouldn't be pi either...

besides, I don't think they really want to come in and update the site at about 2 in the morning.

@Π=3.1415926... :
I think you're right, but it would be better if we think of it as following:

AM=1, PM=2, a posteriori

3 . 14 1 59 2
March, 14, 1: 59 PM

Hope I get in, I was already rejected at Caltech.

I got rejected at Caltech too...

MIT!!!!!!!!

i can't wait... Saturday...the day the world stands still...well at least for me....nd i got rejected at caltech as well....but its MIT all the way.... :D

MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Its gettin toooooooooooooooo tenseyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..lol...

@ all Indians....Boards??.. Givin it a blow..lol...I have never been sooooooooo tensed man.. Not even when i ma 10th results..

Vots ur take, Guys....??

I am really gonna miss this site..man..I would really nostalgic about whatsoever be the decision......

ALL the bloggers, Snively, Paul, Shannon, so on...

@Mohit

Luckily its the English board exam next (CBSE) ... can spend/waste(?) my time wondering and dreaming and pondering ... but ya ... very tensed ... last time I was so tensed about results on the net was class 10 board exam results ... I probably won't be able to study on saturday ... what about u guys (n gals :D)?

Just Can't Wait...

You couldn't have released the decisions February 7 at 6:28 AM?
e≈2.718281...
Or even better, Jan. 4 at 1:42... I'll leave you to figure that one out on your own :-)

but seriously, I will get zero sleep Friday night... it will be like Christmas × 1023...

A countdown clock so you can obsess over the time left...

Countdown To MIT Decision

Ryan that's the root of 2, and I don't think that would have been a good idea, (it's 4 days into the year)
to everyone else, good luck. thanks Matt, and the entire team, and all the bloggers.
to me, uuumm, I really don't know. btw, I'm not cynical, but what do you do if you get rejected?

no, should have a positive attitude, you won't get rejected...

Well, if you get rejected, ordinarily you'd go somewhere else. Though I've heard of people taking a yearlong break to work then apply to MIT again next year ">.>

I got rejected at Caltech, too. But then, I'm an international student.
I wasn't too disappointed by that, but even thinking about MIT's decision makes my stomach clench. Literally. I'm going to have major stomach ache by the end of the week, getting accepted would fix that.
I'm the first student from my school to apply to MIT (or Caltech for that matter). I do NOT want a repeat of the 'haha's after the Caltech rejection.

@ MIT: please just release them and get it over with or you'll have some students dying of heart attacks or failing in their board exams... which would mean doom either ways...

@ Rahul

arrey, dude..its all happenin in here..man.. I 2 hv ma English Boards on 13th..u in CBSE? vot was ur %age in 10th..? I actually was not dat much tensed in ma 10th results..
rite now...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!...lol..

@ Rankeya..

Howz u doin?..Geared up?

@Rankeya: I agree, MIT seems to be doing this for the dramatic affect.

Its all about having some will power;
and a positive attitude.... AND OFCOURSE TO RELAX..(which i think is pretty difficult!)

Wait ...
I think you've made a mistake.
Can't you just check over my application one more time???

@Mohit

in 10 i got 90.33 ... not very impressive i know but languages brought me down ... wat abt u?
ya srsly ... this is much worse ...

freakin out here ... and this is only 4 days before the actual thing ... imagine saturday night (India)

@mohit: im doin quite allrite... apart from that is not wanting to study english...... and douglas' deep water is doing nothing to alleviate my fright.... i bet this is terror beyond d one he felt....

I remember the tension in December. I see a lot of international students here. I just reviewed the stats, must really be tense for all who are overseas. Good luck.

ahhhh the excitement! :D

It's been my dream for as long as i can remember...

I really hope we all get in! :D

Okay, 2am Sunday...morning?
I am GLAD you are on Daylight Saving.
Looks like I'm not getting much sleep, either way.
I keep telling myself the odds are too long, and then I keep planning life at MIT, from major to dorm to IAP. Whoosh.

@ Gerardo

It has also been my dream for a really long time Gerardo!

But I have done a lot of things for this dream, so I hope and believe that this dream of mine is going to become reality this Saturday!

I also hope that yours will also become reality!

Did you guys get emails about the decision time?

@ Sally

I got an email. Didn't you?

@ Everybody

3 days 2 hours 48 minutes 20 seconds remaining!!!!!!

Come on, couldn't they SCHEDULE the release of admission decisions then without any human intervention? If mit could not figure out how to do it, I'd rather go to another college...

BTW, don't we stay up till 5 or 6 am in the morning? wouldn't it be more fun if mit releases it in the middle of night? Why did they set the application deadline at midnight not at noon?

@Shruti

Me too ... I just cant seem to stop ... plans n dreams ... i know the more i do, the worse it is ... in case i dont get in ... i really need to stop or else it'll turn out very bad ...

@Rankeya

Ya i agree ... this terror seems worse ... butterflies in the stomach ... and the worst part of all - we have to put up with it for 3 more days ...

@Elizabeth Hall

It turns out that the most popular name among girls for freshmans in the classes of 2011 and 2012 was Elizabeth :P ... Looks like youre in luck ...
Same goes to all you Michaels and Elizabeths out there ...

There are altogether more than nineteen thousand applicants this year...And I have to check my result at midnight on Saturday.

may i know the number of international acceptance!!!!!

^^

The accept about 120 int'l applicants

120!

Oh how I wish I was American (T____T)

@ Rankeya

CBSE Applicants.. saved! English.. I dun think i'll b able 2 study 4 maths? Will u? I'll b takin dat Decision in ma mind throughout till 24th of March..actually even after dat..! Probably throughout my lyf!

@Rahul..

dude, 90.33 is gud..i got a 91%.. in CBSE.. Is urs a CBSE %age 2..? Then itsss DAMNN Gud.. seriously....where u 4rm?

@ Jesse

Americans hv a better priviledge 2 get in!.. This includes US Citizens n Permanent Res...I hope 2 was one of dese..!!

@ Rankeya,Rahul

Aren't u guys juz dreamin of d decisions..I m though..

I read Sadao..n The American prisoner of war story (The Enemy) n it TOOK ME 1 WHOLE DAY TO FINISH.. AFTER EVERY SENTENCE I READ I USED 2 START DREAMING ABOUT MIT..MIT..MIT...MIT...MIT...!!!lol..

N yeah Douglas is nice chap. for refreshment..d only difference..he had a phobia of water (hydrophobia) n v hv a phobia of MIT DECISIONS (Decisionphobia!)

299 !

300 !! . . . at last ...

Good luck everyone! And congratulations to those accepted in Early Action. I'm getting really nervous and can't wait till Saturday.

You are a HOT blogger Matt

Hey dudes! What is goin' all with U all(what a harmony :P)?!

Just B relax, n' U'll find EVERYTHING U want. :)

Anyway, where R U from Shahla? Am I just right n' U R persian buddy? ;)

Heh, pi time for decisions!

I probably won't make it though, only 700 on the SAT math section for an EE major and no interview...

@ Narce,
I know... I still check the website every couple of hours or so... I wanna know the results so badddd... CAN'T wait...

@ Narce,
I know... I still check the website every couple of hours or so... I wanna know the results soooo badddd... CAN'T wait...

@everyone: Think of it this way. . . next to our name, at this moment, is either one of three words; admitted, 'not admitted,' and wait-listed.

So how does this work, we log on and then what?

I am nervously anticipating a rejection, and by virtue of that, I am not going to get upset upon receiving my admissions decision :S (at least, I hope)

I'm so nervous!!! at first i thought 3/14 was school day and i thought it torture to let decisions out 10 min before school ended!

@Ricardo Reyna
Haha good thought, even better!

@Rahul
Or maybe it just means that proportionately more Elizabeths and Michaels apply, therefore it it see in the results as more of them, haha. I side with you though, (at least i hope so haha)it makes me feel better. Maybe 17 years ago when i got named, it was all in preparation for this. Like destiny... =o haha nah, i did my best on the application, and i've worked hard in everything i do, so hopefully it will pay off, regardless my name! =)

I got waitlisted at Caltech and am anxiously awaiting an MIT decision before I send the Waiting List Reply form. Opening the letter and reading waitlist is such a letdown. After waiting so long for a decision, they ask you to wait a bit longer.

Has anyone of you actually thought about what you were doing March 14th at 1:59 last year? I was taking a picture at exactly 1:59:30 on March 14th 2008! haha

Grad school, anyone?

It will be 6.59 pm in Switzerland...
Thanks for taking time to review our applications and good luck everyone!!

@Dan,

Don't give up hope yet.

SAT scores are just a away for the ad com to see if you can handle the MIT workload, and I've heard they take anything over 700 as a 800, so best of luck!!!!!

I really hope they mean it when they say that if smart people from the same school as you doesn't hurt your chances. Because there is this one kid at my school who applied and got like 800 or close to it on everything including subject tests... My scores were fine except my reading which was 640 so I hope that is fine

Hey matt,

thanks for taking your time to read our apps. Good luck to everyone on here. I'm pretty sure most of you will get in.

@Mohit
Ya I guess so ... i'm satisfied with what i got ...
i live in kharagpur ... just outside the IIT campus :D ... what about u?
Ya srsly ... it's taking me longer to study as usual ... its scary thinking they have all the decisions ready and my fate has been sealed ... i'll see whether i can study maths depending on the decision (nothing much to study actually :P)... in the unlikely case that i get in (OH MY GAAAWWWWDDDDDD!!!), i know i wont be able to study at all for few days ... and at the moment im dreaming of decisions and much much more ...

@Elizabeth
aah u never know ... maybe the decisions office has some affinity towards your name :p ...

@Abdel Karim
Me too anticipating a rejection ... and also think that i wont be let down ... but you really never know ...

@all
add me up on gtalk if u like ... id: hockeyrahul (dont ask abt the hockey ... it was a kid thing)

Vytautas and others-
I know! How awesome is that ("that" being that decisions are posted on Pi Day at 1:59... hahahahaha) (annoying for me though because I have to wait until Sabbath ends ~7:30. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

319 comments wow. Too bad i missed Pi X 10^2 comment.

Ohhh my. What,less than three days left? COUNTDOWN!!

oh man... the suspense!

I'm a little worried because I didn't do any big science fair stuff, robotics competitions or olympiads that I hear a lot of people do... The closest I got was math contests... o.O

@ Rahul..

kewl u livin outside IIT campus..i live in Bombay...about a few kms. from IIT, Mumbai..I bit far though...

Dreamin,Dreamin,Dreamin,Dreamin, Dreamin,Dreamin,Dreamin,Dreamin, Dreamin,Dreamin,Dreamin,Dreamin.................till infinity...lol..

Ya seriously i dun deres nething in Maths..bbut lets wait n watch (Actually i cant wait ne more!)..The tension, pressure, curiousity, anxiety is increasin hour by hour!

Dago...too much of a geek to get in..

I think I just went to the other world when I read the mail that the decision are going to be online on Saturday.

Pi day - we have a competition at school that day and I am going to be an organizer. Oh my god... I will be thinking about MIT all day long.

2 at Eastern time right? Oh my, MIT - the dream school...

Does anyone think that they will be able to sleep that night?

@Anthony P

Yeah i know, so have I! I have competed in many science competitions, and have even designed a hydrophone for them..an such things..:)

Best of luck

ugh I cant even sleep anymore I am still up at 12:30 EST and I have to get up at 6:00

LOOK WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO ME MIT!!!!!

Well see, I will be up all night Friday night of course, so my plan is not to wake up till like 1:45 so that I don't die that day....

I love how every wishes everyone else the best of luck in getting in. Don't mean to be sarcastic or anything, but don't you all wish everyone else to have less luck than you? That's how I feel at least. If someone else doesn't get admitted, it increases the chance for me to get admitted. I just wanted to point out this interesting yet ironic phenomenon I've noticed on this comment line.

@Mohit

Used to live in Powai too when I was pretty small ... just outside the IIT Campus again :P ...

no pressure but anxiety in me ... i wonder what its gonna be like an hour or two before they actually come out ...

This is my first post and probably the last. I have seen some of the most beautiful moments of my life since I thought of trying my luck at MIT .......... Recall for a while the past few glorious months ....they will remain treasured in our hearts irrespective of whether we get in or not.... The decision will soon be made ........prepare urselves friends .WISH YOU ALL A VERY GOOD LUCK

One question. This was asked previously by Ron but it was left unanswered - Do we get to know about our financial aid offers with or immediately after the results?

One question. This was asked previously by Ron but it was left unanswered - Do we get to know about our financial aid offers with or immediately after the results?

my fingers are trembling and I think my blood is going to gush out of my body and what else don't ask.

Anyways,Good luck to all.

@rankeya, mohit, rahul and all Indians

hume jo karna hai, woh to hamne karliya
baaki sab uuper vaale par chood do

Good luck once again !!!!

wishing someone luck is only courtesy, and know the karma thing, the blessings flow back to you. however bad you feel about it, just go ahead and wish everyone luck, sincerely, and maybe...

does location also play a role in the international admissions, like a native african from Darfur applying?

@ Rahul and all

I am excited, I dunno what will be the result, Also, the English CBSE prep is quite boring.
Since, I live in an IIT campus, I feel that MIT would be a second world to me...

I got 95.2% in 10th, so I am not worried about my board exams...

good luck to everyone.

feelin nervous

All the very best to all the wonderful applicants here.
I ve learnt a lot and its an experience I ll have with me forever.

Thanks Matt for everythign ( No Idea whether this d reach you or not) Anyways thanks...

Signing off from Decisions blog ;)

@Akhila

Ya ... nothing can be done now ... im not very religious but if you see me an hour before any result comes out...... :P ...

Oh my God, can't even sleep at night.. I dream about it... it doesn't leave me alone at night... can't wait to see the reults...

What should I do? I know that every single applicant is excited, and afraid at the same time, but I know that I don't have that feeling right now.
Because of my adviser, my required materials were not sent, it was my fault, too. Now I know that I don't have a chance, or if I want to live in another fantasy, I need an additional miracle to the one miracle everyone here is looking for.

I have known about MIT a few months more than a year. It was an experience, a really lovely one. Every moment was another different enjoyable one.
But tears now are trying to alleviate my state of the painful ambiguity, the fact that I may not know whether I would have gotten accepted if everything went normal.

Having learned my lesson, maybe I will try for graduate school one day....

@Anonymous: inta meen feen?

...I find out from MIT and Rennsaelar on Saturday...I think Carnegie Mellon, too

"ugh I cant even sleep anymore I am still up at 12:30 EST and I have to get up at 6:00

LOOK WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO ME MIT!!!!"

The same here - I totally agree with you - although I don't know your name :)

@Matt, mind to show us the server load within this week? Haha~

I didn't do really well in the SAT. Who knows if I still have a chance. Grade is not about everything, right?
(I'm just trying to be optimistic here. XD)

Hmmm. . . Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. . . I don't like the fact that our decisions are sitting on a table, or in a program, while we have to wait until pi day, for the dramatic affect. MIT has always tried its best to ease the tension and the stress of the college admissions process (which they significantly have), but come on, we want our decisions, so we can proceed with our lives!

I just want to get it over with!

Good Luck to everyone.

@rahul

the fact is that whether we believe in god or not, we indians (many) become truly opportunistic and may be a bit optimistic during hard times and everyone unknowingly starts praying god if not outerward, atleast in the deep of our hearts, we do for sure. so good luck. bye

@MA

Its a pleasure to bring smiles to others

@ Everyone but especially Abdel-karim

You know it is kind of funny waiting for the decisions to come out. Well, not exactly funny, but it is the hardest part (psychologically) from the whole application. Why do you want this application process to finish so quickly? If you think of it more thoroughly, you have been completing your application for a lot time and you waited all this time. Why are so impatient during this week (not that I am not), but there is no reason. We just have to live our lives and when the results come out just log in to check! (I have said that again:P)

Live your lives just like you used to do 1 year before!!!!!!

@anthony

very true !!!!!

359!

What are the odds that there are two Mohits from India who have applied to MIT for admission to the class of '13???

I'll be here next year, trust me

It's so weird that this could be one of the last days that I'm a prospective student for this school. Scary!!!

@ All you sleepless people.

I don't know about you but I have zero trouble sleeping. Sure I'm anxious but MIT is not the only highway that can take you through life. Therefore, I have this advice for you: Don't stress over MIT. Don't limit yourself to MIT. Don't worry about admissions.(They have already been made and its too late to change anything.) And, of course, lose sleep over important things such as writing programs, or overclocking your computer, like I did last night... stayed up until 3 am and it was a school night. Take control and ride life. Don't let life ride you.

All of the previous pie days I just ate pies and used to wait for exactly 1:59:26 on the thrid of March!! This pie day is like my MOST TENSED UP pie day!! Aaaaagh!! its ALMOST HERE!!!

Good luck y'all!! :)

Gosh, this is so nerve racking >.

.....Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

If I did fairly well on the math SAT 2, Reasoning SAT, and ACT, then does that help balance it out?

@ Abdel-karim

UAE.

What an observation Chang Yang :)
March | 14 | 1:59

Good Luck every one ^_^

@Antony P: I do enjoy my life; I am not stuck on the computer checking whether MIT might have release the results a day earlier. It's just that MIT prides itself with the fact that it is one of the colleges that try to lessen the stresses associated with college admissions. Don't try and tell me, that you live your life normally between now and the decision, the topic of your decision, the question of whether you'll be accepted or not must cross your mind once in a while. What I *am* saying is that MIT should not hold back decisions because they want to release them on pi day. The fact that I spent so much time on the application should directly entail the fact that the decisions should come out as soon as possible.

I just find a contradiction in this and the policies of MIT. Don't get me wrong, I seriously love MIT. It has been my dream school since 8th grade.

Although I am sure of my decision, I would just like to move on and not waste the remainder of my brain cells thinking about it.

Anyway, good luck.

Down here - March 14th is 14/3

Anyway I heard that to gain admission to MIT as an international student, you MUST be extraordinary in some way. That is, must have won some international recognition!!!

@ Eric: I think CMU is mailing later (http://www.enrollment.cmu.edu/admission/blogs/jaycieg/)
I AM SO NERVOUS

42 more hours!!

I'll be at work :( (Until 5pm *groans)

I'll probably violate every road code on the face of the planet getting home

With God all things are possible.

@ Mohitthesecond

Hi, where in india r u 4rm.. seriously no wonder dat two mohits' have applied to MIT..

Chloe, I hope that you were utterly misinformed. I mean, what are the chances that around 100 of the international students admitted have international recognition?

@Narce
Thnx Narce!! I'm pretty much enjoying "One Piece" this is sso funny, and I feel time goes much faster when I'm reading it. LOL

http://onemanga.com/One_Piece/1/01/

exactly one week ago, I was super nervous waiting for Caltech decision. The last one day was particularly HORRIBLE. But, I think I can wait watching One Piece~

Thanks again, NARCE !! and congratulations for being accepted for the class of 2013.

And..

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!!

@ Anonymous who said "With God all things are possible."

And even if He does not permit it, we still have peace, for we seek Him. He knows what is best for us, regardless of what occurs in this decision. See Isaiah 55:8-9

@ Brother
"With God all things are possible." Whatever happens in this world, is His decision. We do not have peace if he does not permit it.

There is no way to prove or support that statement, so i refuse to accept it as valid.

And i'm even a religious person.

Omg, i am counting down the hours and minutes... i have a final exam on that day... i would have to ask the teacher to leave the room to check the results... i am not sure if she'll allow it... i am excited yet nervous

I hope Saturday, March the 14th, shall be the day my life changes for ever!!!!!

@ Parth
What a nice thing to say... wow... I hope, too

You sound like a constructionist mathematician :)

@Rahul
Haha who knows! But what i know is my pi shirt is done and i'm ready to wear it tomorrow and saturday! Woo hoo!

hmmmm... I'd better keep working.

any applicants from bangladesh here?

1 day, 11 hours, 10 minutes, 15 seconds.

any idea regarding exactly what we will be seing when we sign in tomorrow?...like just "admitted" or "not admitted" written or something?...or something more?

it's breathtaking. i hope i could jump around the couch tomorrow.

i think there are 5 of us from Bangladesh

@Yash

Saale ...tu hain? ... :P

@Akhila

Ya ... i agree ... but nothing specifically can be said about we Indians ... everyone has their unique and inspiring stories ... nevertheless ... proud to be an Indian! :D ...

@Elizabeth

Wow sounds like youre gearing up for the Super Bowl or World Cup or sumthn ... shirt n all ;) ... wish i had one ...

@ RAHUL

Ya, Its me...

Anyway what do you think about your chances at MIT...

SAT scores and all

Extra Curricular...

Academics....

Hah - the funny thing is that I actually will be doing what I answered in part 3a on my application on Saturday... all day.
But in terms of exciting (and very fitting) news, it looks like Congress (the US one, that is) has made Pie Day National, to stress the need for students to go into the arenas of math and science!
And in terms of decisions being released on Pie Day at the said time... all I can say is that I appreciate the simple mathematical beauty of it all. Thanks to the admissions staff - that can't have been an easy deadline!
News Article about National Pie Day: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10194354-38.html

How could I have been so naive; didn't know so many internationals apply to MIT,
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

no sir include that wud make six bangladeshi?

omg...not much time is left but the seconds are somehow not passing by. cant wait anymore!!! really good luck to everyone. I know it's hard to get admitted, but if i didnt get accepted in MIT, I dont know what I am supposed to do in my country. Here I cant find convenient majors or universities...Thats apart from the fact that I want to try something new!! :S ahhhhhhhhhh...

and btw i love "pi" hehe

Physics on magnetic fields should keep your mind occupied for at least 20 minutes. So start there and continue until you are rejected or accepted. Also, anybody want to try to hit the one thousand comment make by pi time?

there's nothing we can do.
so... good luck everyone!

@gold

Yes! I'm so happy! ^.^ One Piece is my favorite manga series that I've read several times through (even though it's not finished in Japan yet XP), so I'm so happy that I could show someone else how amazing it is!!

Thank you and good luck to you~~

@ Narce

Oh goodie2, another anime/manga fan!

Though I'm not from Japan, I read a lot of mangas, hope we can get to know each other!

@Yash

Dont wanna think about it ... whats done is done ... id say my chances are slim but at least not 0 :D ...

and i read in some other blog entry on this site using the term 'not admitted' instead of 'rejected' ... sounds better ...

Good luck everyony!! We are almost there!

@ Anh
here's something to do, pray!!!

plz

ohhhh MIT.

not admitted, rejected... all have the same connotation; you didn't make it
both sound terrible

YSP 08 everyone!

No doubt people think of God when they are weak, afraid, or unsure of the future.

I am proud that I am not one of those people!

I don't know what to say. I've been reading all these comments and checking this site every couple of hours.
Sometimes I have high hopes and sometimes I realise how hard it is to be admitted...u know I'm an international applicant!
This is a decision that will surely influence my life but it's not the end of the world.
to everyone:
if admitted: enjoy and celebrate but remember it's only the first step!
if not admitted: maybe MIT is not the right place for you and you will flourish somewhere else. Who knows?
if waitlisted: don't give up your hopes but don't count a lot on them! And be patient!
to me: work on your presentation on Sunday because whatever the decision is you will not be in a mood to prepare it!
to the hackers: well done! it was a brilliant idea!
to my EC (Dr. Omar Roushdy): Thanks! You helped me a lot!
to the admissions officers: Thanks for the huge effort you did!
Special thanks to the bloggers who really entertained me and gave a brilliant impression of MIT!
that was it..waiting for pi 2morrow!! good luck :-)

@ Hazem
love ur post

Hey Hazem! Are you planning to open it anywhere specific?

Good Luck!

aw i got rejected already

ohh, I love one piece, or maybe I used to love it so much. I think I will continue with the manga, because anime makes me have a headache.
I wish if people like Kubrick were directing it; I can't imagine how good it would've been.

@Abdel-karim
if u mean check the decision anywhere specific, then I don't think so- just at home 2ommorw @ 8pm local time..actually 7:59!
Are you going to check it at a specific place?
good luck to you, too!

@marvin:
Thnx!
Best wishes!

@ Hazem
Best wishes to both of us

@Hazem, it not at 8 PM, its actually 9:59, because I think the states are on day light saving or something. Check though, I'm not 100% sure.

No, no. You're right it's actuallu 8 PM. Cool, now it's earlier than I thought.

Yes Tara, I certainly hope I'm wrong; that sort of thought doesn't bear thinking about!

1day 1hour 42minutes 7seconds.............AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SORRY FOR OCCUPING A RESPONSE FOR THE RESPONSE...ANXIETY HAS RECD. ITS ZENITH NOW.. CANT WAIT NEMORE!!

OH MY GOD..I'M TYPIN NONSENSE..FINE LAST BLOG..NO MORE..ALL OUT OF ANXIETY..!

@mar
^_^
god blesses us!

i just wanted to check the time!
hahahaha

OMG, Less than 24 hours for tons of new friends!!!

I can't wait now!

'Twas the night before MIT decisions
When all over the internet
Seniors posted their final thoughts before a part of their future was set.

Anyone want to help me finish?

At this time tommorow, we'll know for sure. Shocking after so much waiting.

hmmmm let's chat here and make friends, in case I don't get accepted, the highest probability, I'll have someone who is in MIT.
Can we post youtube links?

omggggggggggggg..... we are gonna get the results soooooon... can't wait anymore....

1000 posts!
1000 Posts!
1000 POSTS!

Come on people, chant with me. Also, If you type "I want some schnitzel," then you will get accepted into MIT. I know it works.

I do not want some schnitzel

21 hours to go aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i'm not going to sleep tonite!!!!! Not because I'm nervous, but because i have an all-nite LAN party to attend :) haha going old school warcraft 3

Well... its the final day....

the final day of me being a hopeful MIT applicant...

Hi guys, i have a question for all of you.
Are most of you winners of some kind of international Olympiads?

Wahhhhh!!!!! I have to perform in our school's musical in three hours and I've only gotten like 4 hours of sleep due to MIT anxiety!

And it's Friday the 13th. Ergh! Trying to ignore anything I can interpret as an "omen"......

Anyone else want to see a graph of site traffic for decisions.mit.edu around π time? I wonder how close the peak will be to release time...

‘Twas the night before pi day,
And all ‘round the world,
The hopefuls were restless –
Emotions unfurled

And I by my PC
With cat in my lap,
Sat mumbling and praying
My mind wouldn’t snap

When out on the blog
There arose such a chatter,
It soon became clear
Others’ nerves too had shattered

Will we be admitted,
Or droop in disgrace?
Will we raise a toast,
Or get pi in the face?

So here’s to decisions
From old M-I-T…
Be nice to us hopefuls,
Especially me!

Ironically enough, I'll be flying to Boston tomorrow -- and attending the folk dancing on Sunday night. It's hard to imagine that I'll know one way or other other by then; I'd kind of gotten used to the limbo.

Is anyone else singing "The final countdown" in their heads right now?

Yeah, i'm gonna be in a car tommorrow at 2, so i have to wait until 5 to see. of course thats assuming i haven't died of suspense by then. my biggest hope is that i dont get waitlisted. i think i would even rather get "not admitted" than have to deal with the waiting and wondering that much longer.

Guys, don't go too crazy!

Me, I'm going dancing tonight to get rid of some of that nervous energy and I plan on sleeping in tomorrow.

By the time decisions roll around I'd be nice and relaxed.

Go do something fun too! At the very least, you'll have fun celebrating your last day as hopefuls!

Calling the big D for me!

Happy Pi Day every one and good luck with the decisions

wow, i feel at least twenty butterflies in my stomach right now. I very well know that I ain't gonna make it but still being hopeful, just in case, you know. As I write this, I can't feel my stomach. I can hardly speak. I wonder if I am excepted, will i find guys like me over there or totally different kind of people? Hell, I started talking gibberish again. Good luck you guys.

And someone asked if any of has ever won any Olympiads ever before. I don't know about Olympiads but I sure once won a poetry contest back in my junior grades. Hope that helps.
Yours truly (nearly in a state of nervous shock),
jay

I know I'm not gonna be accepted but I always have hope and no one should give up hope

Good Luck Guys hope to see you

The simple fact that we're getting our decisions on pi day is amazing... so even if i don't get in, i'm still happy :D

I know I'm not gonna get accepted but I always have hope and no one should give up hope

Good Luck Guys hope to see you

I know I'm not gonna get accepted but I have hope and there is always hope and no one should give up this great thing

Good luck to us all, hope to see you

I know I did NOT get in!

Sorry for the many posts, I must have repeated the same comment

@musicman
du kannst deutsch??
Kommst du aus deutschland?
Ich komme aus Aegypten und auf eine deutsche Auslandsschule hier!! bin auch nervoes!!

Email MIT about the release being one minute before two, making the time 3/14 1:59 pm, pi being = to 3.14159. You know the whole pi day deal. Ruffin James White-Magner (Admitted to Rose-Hulman, waiting on MIT)

@ Hazem
You speak German?? Cool

@Hazem

nein, mein deutsch ist schlecht.

I'm from Pennsylvania, i just take deutsch in school :)

@Shahla
yeah, I'm Egyptian and I attend a German school!!

@ musicman

I wish my school had German language

@ Hazem

That's awesome

omg just 14 more hours guys!!!! I can't bear the wait. Good luck everyone!!!!!

@Shahla

i wish my school had ap physics c so i didn't have to study it on my own.
so we're even :)

@ musicman

lol... not yet.. my school doesn't have ap physics either.. so i have to study on my own...

15 hours 28 minutes 10 seconds and 45 milliseconds lol

471 comments.....make it 472 :)
and o yea the comment above is mine lol

GOOOD LUCKKKKKK !

hehe sorry guys.....man matt is gona be pissed :p

I have a test tomorrow and i am still not done studying cuz i can't stop thinking about the results

@MIT or Bust '13
I basically love you! haha that's great!

@The Desperate
Awe! I'll be your friend either way it goes for you or me!

Still staying possitive, i know i've done all i can do. I just had an epiphany of sorts. I realized that i was already rewarded for all my hard work with scholarships and honors stuff at other schools, and that i really /did/ work hard and it's not just my imagination. I'm really trying to stay possitive, because i have the habit of bracing myself for the worst. YOu all should stay possitive too, everyone at MIT isn't top in their class, international olympiads, etc. So you or i have a change too! You never know. If you tried your hardest that's all you can really do! (haha that sounds so sappy... not me at all.)

@Albert Smith and Rankeya
Haha I love that you speak your mind, I do too and i don't care what anyone says. However, just because we wish someone luck doesn't mean that we don't want to get in as much, if not more, than they do. Wishing luck is half common courtessy and half what i beleive and want to do. Some people will be devistated if they are rejected, and some people honestly deserve to be there, there is nothing more that i can do to change that fact of my or their admissions decision. The words "Good luck" provide hope and only hope, they do not, in my opinion, bestow any real sort of luck on the person, they are simply a chain of words.

And quite cliche at the moment actually! haha =) Just speaking my mind!

@Elizabeth Hall

That's the wisest thing,
Great Words from a Great Person

Good Luck Everyone ^_^

happy pi day everyone!

hello everyone, just dont be afraid . leave everything on Matt Mcgann

Track meet in 4 hours and 42 minutes, MIT's decision to let me in or not in 2 hours and 42 minutes

it's almost here!!!!!!!!
surprisingly, i'm not too nervous. which means i've already accepted defeat.
i'm going to watch that episode of "bones" that i missed thursday, and eat some pie. and when i find out that i've been rejected, then i'll eat more pie. i think i'm an emotional eater, lol.

good luck to everyone! we all deserve it. too bad there's not enought room for all of us.

I almost falled from the chair when i saw MIT's email.
I know that MIT won't admit me, but i hope.
GOOD LUCK!!!

I almost falled from the chair when i saw MIT's email.
I know that MIT won't admit me, but i hope on the miracle.
GOOD LUCK!!!

@Ahmed O
Thank you!

Gosh i've been singing the nano song all morning doing my ribik's cube incessantly! haha

I wrote SAT-1 and SAT-2. I sent only SAT-2 scores.Will MIT receive also SAT-1 scores with my SAT-2 scores?

wow a lot of international students post here...only about 125 will be accepted. Good luck to you

just did well on a math test.
Now MIT..
I would readily sacrifice my test for da sake of bein' admitted if i had to.

@olzhas Toiteyev: Yes they will. I did the same thing you did, I only *reported* the SAT II scores, but they'll see the SAT I as well, they say they'll only look at the SAT II, but did you take the TOEFL?

goooood luck every one!!!!!!

2 hours, 8 minutes, and 12 seconds left...

Let's hope that the +15600 RD applicants don't all check their admissions at once. That could get messy.

@Ahmed O: Where are you from?

la2 ya abdel karim...ana 3amalt SAT I and II bas bara el madrasa ma3 nafsy keda...i just meant they are not offered at our school...hehe

I got 1940/2400 in the SAT I and 1590/1600 in the SAT II. How did you do?

Less than 2 hours left :S.

I think it is inconvenient to keep hanging out here all day and waste my time with no use...I will go read a book and come back in 1 hour and 54 minutes (omg)
Good luck everyone!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

sorry, I got 1980 in the SAT I.

In one hour we will all know. Say a prayer, take comfort in the fact that God has a plan. I hope all your guys' hard work is rewarded.

58 mins aaaaaaa

10 to 15?? I thought the number was more like 4 to 6.....I know that there were only 3 in the class of '00...my interviewer told me...

The anticipation is killing me.

@ Saku

True...

The hour of destiny has come!!!

@ Mohit, The 2nd

I guess that the number has risen in the last year or so...

15 would be good bet...

I got a score of 2330/2400 in SAT 2...

Is that a major factor...

omg omg omg omg :(

@ Mohit 2

I am going bonkers passing my time...

I am now not able to prepare for Maths CBSE...

So, how do you think about your chances...

Why the hell isn't anyone blogging...

Too tensed, I guess????

@Yash...I don't know about my chances...I'd say 4% appx b/c that would be the probability without applying any conditions...hahaha..,,and lets not get into bayes theorem....CBSE Maths...Aint it fun??

@ Mohit 2

Yaar where do you live, you sound to be very relaxed..., must be in the Himalayas...

I hope nobody has a heart attack or a nervous breakdown BEFORE 2PM.

After reading some of these comments, that seems to be a distinct possibility. Try to relax guys!

HELP ME

PLEASE FAST>>FORWARD THE TIME!!!!!!!!

HELP ME

@Yash,
Geochemistry sounds interesting....My family is not from any kindof a science background....
so what other colleges?

@ Mohit 2

Other Colleges:
Stanford U, Cornell U, Rice U..

Already selected to Univ. of Illinois and Texas A&M Univ.

Don't push yourselves. All is in God's hands. Whatever the answer is, it is most likely best for you.

I am starving but can;t eat anything... ohhhh....

Before the Decisions are released I just wanted to thank MIT's admission office for trying to make us comfortable regardless of their decision

600!

Hello.
Good luck to everybody.

They are up

9 more mintues....

best of luck

it's on go check

Decisions out...
Didnt get in...
Thanks for considering me!
Stanford here I come!

decisions are out!!!!!!!!!!!

Rejected...

Rejected...

Rejected also

Rejected. we should start a club.

Rejected. yeah we should really consider starting a club!

Rejected

Wait listed.

Interesting. Never really considered THAT. I was thought it would be either ACCEPTED or REJECTED. But I think being Wait Listed at MIT is the same as being rejected, right?

rejected :(
for those who got rejected, we just have to take another way

Hey, I'm in at Rose-Hulman; planning to apply to MIT again, in 4 years, for graduate school.

Wow, I must say that as an alum, it is very interesting to read this page.

To those rejected: MIT is just one school with too many brilliant applicants and not enough seats. You do not need MIT (or any other top ranked school, for that matter) to achieve your dreams. Where there is a will, there is a way. Have a blast in college, wherever you go. It is a sacred four years. Best of luck as you begin your journey :)

To those accepted and planning to attend: Congratulations. Sleep, friends, school - you may choose two. (Sleep is overrated.) The next four years will be more amazing than you can possibly imagine right now. Be outgoing. Take advantage of every opportunity you can, but remember to stay balanced. Always show appreciation for the unique people and the unique culture surrounding you. MIT is an incredible place to be a young, bright adult. Many would give anything to have what you have, so make the most of it. Best of luck as you begin your journey :)

Regardless of where you go to school, remember that college is a place to learn HOW to think (not necessarily what to think). Have fun! Good luck! Be safe!

nice pi day for me,
i watched pi movie 2 days after march 14. i feel like what numerologist mean. see the pattern in world. numbers are not just numbers, see what's between them

i believe i have superb talent to relate any unrelated thing. i invite everyone to wave their wings creatively and let the blowing winds please their faces
see the unseen

if you think you're right, you are absolutely
right

english is left-to-right and i'm absolutely right

rejected... whatever

rejected... I knew it
