massachusetts institute of technology freshman admissions portal/community v. 2.0

"Facebook."

Hey all,

I'm sorry you haven't heard from me in a while; I'm working on passing the aforementioned 18.022 exam. Final in 8 hours, you'll hear from me after that :)

However, in the meantime: Congratulations to all the accepted students!

Last year, a number of "MIT Class of 2013" groups started to form; however, there was one semi-official one that we linked to here on the blogs (although I wasn't a part of the "we", then). For your benefit, so you can all get to know each other in one central Mark Zuckerberg-approved location, I'll suggest the group for this year:

MIT Class of 2014:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=info&ref=search&gid=286456620522

Congratulations again!

(Disclaimer: This group is in *no way* official. I'll see if they guy who started it will make one of the bloggers an admin, though, so that there's some modicum of admissions-based administration. I would've done that before posting this, but because of finals I forgot about decisions until right now. Whoops.)

Wow, this is what MIT bloggers use to welcome students to MIT?

I'm almost glad I was deferred...

I know, I know.

I'm a jerk.

And my method wasn't at all subtle, I was just hoping all you eager beavers (pun most unfortunate... punfortunate?) would be so... eager as to click it right away.

That being said, if you copy the text, it will still take you to the facebook group.

Welcome to MIT!
