THNXXX

w00t!

2270 here

Man, I was dreading checking it because I was sure I wouldn't get in. I was so shocked!

PLEASE don't let this thread turn into a discussion of test scores. PLEASE.

Thank God!!!

I'm with Anonymous above. SAT scores aren't the only thing considered in your application. Please don't make comparisons of them compose the entirety of this thread.

Where are you guys from? I live near San Francisco.

I'm in still shock. I'm on cloud 9.

I am accepted! I hope I am not the youngest accepted to class 2011. I am now 15 years, 12 days, 3 hours and 51 minutes old! Unspeakable joy!! Thanks!!!

congrats to all of you!!!!!! i hope you are as excited as I am, I even cried!!! I hope I get to know all of you!! uhh... if you have myspace add me!! lol

congrats guys!! I think you should all throw yourselves a HUGE party!!! :) (I was deferred and I'm thrilled!!) I can't even imagine how excited you guys must be--
a huge giant CONGRATS to all of you!!! :)

Oh my goodness, guys, I can't even believe it! I am SO excited! So happy, so happy...

I just know that I'm going to wake up any minute now, and find out I've overslept and missed something important.....*shivers*

aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in College Station, TX.

haha I GOT IN!
hey zaira!

Dimitar'

We are neighbors! I am in Houston!

Being the typical cookie-cutter Asian, I'd never thought I'll get in...OMG....

Crap, now I owe my entire Econ class a party...Cause I said I'll get deferred and then bet on that.

CONGRATS EVERYBODY!!! SEE YOU AT CPW!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone. i hope i get to join you guys in march. i agree with theresa, throw a huge party.

To update one of Sam's old posts, I'm excited to be a part of

E/c² x √-1 x pv/nR 'B(hex)

congratulations to all of you! im so happy for you all, and hopefully, in the spring, i will be celebrating with you guys too :)!

Wawa, congrats! What school do you go to?

HAHA YESSSSS to alex's rendition of "MIT"

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Down in sunny Georgia ...

OMG I GOT IN!!! I'M SO HAPPYYYY CONGRATS TO EVERYONE ELSE THAT GOT IN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL AT MIT!!

YAYA!!!
Wawa, we are even closer neighbors... I go to Westside here in Houston

Is anyone else having this "zomg sdlkflkjl (hits keyboard) skljaflkdsfa" feeling?!?!!!

YAY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS '11s!

I was going to post a comment about "class of 'B" being incorrect, since B is hex for 11, but the actual year is 2011, and it doesn't translate into the same number of digits. But when I actually calculated it, I found that the hex equivalent of 2000 (base 10) is 7D0, which means that 2011 (base 10) would be 7DB (base 16). So congratulations Alex, you were right, and I don't get to give you a hard time about it. =P

AWB, we're neighbors! Where are you from?

Congratulations everyone!!

Yeah, Dan, it's MITES Zaira. How are you doing?

How many people from Texas do we have?

HEY!!! ADMITTED ALSO!!!
I'm from San Juan, Puerto Rico!
Does anyone know when the tubes arrive?

"zomg sdlkflkjl (hits keyboard) skljaflkdsfa" indeed. A friend of mine that goes to my school got admitted too! Nobody will believe us, HA! Yay MIT! I'm assuming we all played the "Flip through every page of the phone book, e-mail everybody, almost break the cell phone, blog like there's no tomorrow" game, seeing as we're all posting on here right now. I think this a good place to say:

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!1!1!!! GAHH!!!! LOL NO MORE COLLEGE APPLICATION ESSAYS!!!1!11!

Congratulations everyone! I hope you all join us up here in Cambridge next year (it's really cold, but I swear it's amazing anyway). When I got in EA last year, it was probably the happiest day of my life, so I hope a lot of you are feeling that same euphoria. Go out and enjoy it. Celebrate with your friends! And try not to slack off too much, now that you already know you've gotten in here and it's only December. . . .

yay, i got in =) i cant believe it either.. im from mass, only half an hour away from MIT

:-)

I got in too!! Congratulations everyone! Hope to meet all of you next year!!!

I was in tears too....

Matt, is it O.K. to start using the '11 after our names? I've been waiting for this for a LONG time.

Daniel from San Juan, PR....

Anyone else planning on course 7?

So many from TX admitted! That's awesome, out 0f a total of 390 EA admitted.

Solomon: put all the passion you can into your essays!

Hi,All, Congrats!

I actually knew I would be accepted to the class of 2011 as far back as almost 6 weeks ago when I submitted my EA application. Do you people know that my church has prayed earnestly for me to get in MIT since then?

I am not trying to be religious here, but there is a God Whom I have trusted whole my life opening for me the path He had designed for me even before the founfation of the world!

Thanks to all the admissions officers and stuff, too!!

So many from TX admitted! That's awesome, out 0f a total of 390 EA admitted.

AHHH!!!!!! I GOT IN!!! *in tears*

Tampa, Florida!!!!

dam it...how many people got in EA? it's ok though, i'm sure you all deserve it...unfortunately, at this point it's looking unlikely that i'll be going to MIT (even if i get accepted in march)...but i hope you all have a great time there

So many from TX admitted! That's awesome, out 0f a total of 390 EA admitted.

anyone from massachusetts?

So many from TX admitted! That's awesome, out 0f a total of 390 EA admitted.

Hooray!!! MIT and its admissions staff are so wonderful! Thank you so much for you time and hard work in selecting the class of 2011

I'm all the way west in Los Angeles, CA

Thanks a lot Dally. I hope to see you at MIT. C.K please pray for me so I would also get in Regular Action.

Jess, I live in Mill Valley and go to the Urban School of SF. How about you?

We should get together to party.

yeah I got a 700 on the math...? but MIT didn't care, so i don't

Where in NOVA are you other NOVA people?

I'm from Chantilly...

I've been bouncing off the walls since I found out!! I can't wait to meet everybody!! Is anyone else from/around Miami, Florida here?

MAN!!!!!!! that was great! i even cried. I'm in LA! woot woot!

I'm from Miami, but I got deferred. Oh well, hopefully I can join you all next year.

I'm from Miami, but I got deferred. Oh well, hopefully I can join you all next year. Congrats to you all.

Congrats guys I have to wait till 2011

Hi Everyone!! I'm Sam from Pennsylvania and I am sooooooooooooooo excited to get in to MIT! I can't wait to meet you all! I've wanted to go to MIT since I was so little, and it's a dream come true! I want to be an astronaut and a cardiothoracic surgeon so MIT will totally help me get on that path!! Talk to you all soon!

Any Oregon people? I know of 2. It'd be interesting to see how many were accepted from our humble little state.

Hey everyone! So excited to be accepted - I wasn't sure if I'd be a good fit, but I guess MIT thought I would be.

Congratulations to everyone else who was accepted, I can't wait to meet you all (hopefully) next fall.

I'm from Milwaukee, WI - anyone from nearby? I'm hoping I'm not the only Wisconsinite to get accepted!

Also, anyone on facebook? I vote that we start a "potential MIT '11" group or something so we can get to know each other better! If one doesn't exist yet, I'll start one tonight.

Congratulations again to everyone, I know that it'll be incredible!

Hey Dmitar, this is Michael from TX Math Talent Search and the A&M tournament. Congrats. I guess I'll see you at MIT if I can find some way to afford it.

BTW, another TX admit here. Cement Capital of, Texas.

Hahaha. I'm so happy!

Now I have to take my economics final. Let's hope the high won't wear off.

omgosh im soo happy right now, i couldn't believe that i actually got in, is there anyone else from maryland that got in?

just wondering, any1 play runescape?

Jillian - I'm from Reston, so a little north from you.

hey Britanny, I'm not from Maryland (I'm actually from Puerto Rico) but my family is!! lol does that count??

Wow that's, what 6 from TX so far? Me (Sugar Land, represent) makes 7.

If you're from Houston, where do you go to school? And if you're on Texas ARML, you better IM me.

Hey Michael! Congrats!!! Hopefully I'll see you at CPW and I'm definitely in the same boat as you money-wise but I'll find some way :)

I'm an Okie, originally from China
any other people from Oklahoma here?

Solomon,

I will pray for you for getting into MIT! See you there!

MithsApprentice (i.e. Daniel),

You are homeshcooled. Do you plan to really go to MIT? or anywhere else?

MithsApprentice (i.e. Daniel),

You are homeshcooled. Do you plan to really go to MIT? or anywhere else?

I'm an Okie, Haefei!!! Where are you from?? :) :) :)

Congratulations to all of you! Another Puerto Rican admitted EA, so that makes 3 of us for now!

Anyone from the Atlanta area here?

That's rather unfair, C.K. If the admissions committee chose Daniel/MithsApprentice, I'm sure he'll do wonderfully at MIT or anyplace else.

jillian and andrea

i live in Centreville! Jillian, i live very close to you!

Yeah...C.K. Daniel is probably one of the coolest people you'll ever meet (he's a personal friend of mine) and he'll do fine at any school :)

Alie,
I'm not from Wisc but I am from Minnesoooooooooota along with my friend Ola who also got in (we go to the same school). And yes, I'll DEFINITELY be interested in joining the Facebook group! Just let me know when you make it!

P.S. Go Vikings!

I don't think CK meant that as an insult. But thanks for the support Dim and Emily.

Anyway, MIT is definitely one of my top choices. I won't know where I'd like to go until after Admit Weekends in April. But insiders say MIT does a great program with their CPW. So it should be exciting. And it'll be fun to meet you all.

(And CK, how did you know I was homeschooled? AoPS?)

Is there anyone from Maryland here?

Hey guys... I know it's a little late to get here, I've been going crazy... yeah. Hey Zaira & Dan from MITES... (yes this is that Isaac.) I'm from upstate NY (near the PA border).

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *dies from happiness*

I'm so mad, now I have to go play in an orchestra concert and my hands are going to be shaking from the excitement and I won't be able to play!

P.S.-Cereal, I'm from Maryland, we should have a Marylander party next August!

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! GO '11ers!!!

Is it okay if I submit video slides for consideration by the admissions committee.

Brittany and Cereal:
I'm from Maryland as well! Howard County?? I haven't heard of anyone else from my area who's gotten in...

Alie: I'd be interested in joining a facebook group, I'll be on the lookout for it :D

Anyways... Hey everyone, I'm Jenny.. I'm from Maryland, I'm interested in studying computer science or some sort of engineering I think, and I love playing volleyball. MIT is my top choice by far and I am sooooo excited to have been accepted!!!

hey congrats,
i know this is a really hard school to get into but i think i have what it takes, however i haven't done anything with an interview yet. Am I unable to apply or is there something i can do?

Hello, Isaac (that Isaac). =D

Congrats everyone!

I see there are a lot of Texans in here! I am in Keller, TX (near Dallas).

To those who said they cried when they received their decision-- I DID TOO!!

-Britni

I didn't get in,
Cuz I didn't apply and I'm in 7th grade.
Muahahahahaha!
But my sister got in.
She's a geek.
YAY GEEKS!

How about people from Long Island?!

Jon here, nice to meet you all!!

and I wanted to cry before my decision came out and had to wait another half hour for my class to let out :-( BUT IT WAS A GOOD WAIT!!!

O.M.G.

I will SO be seeing you guys next year. I'm so excited!

Prepare, for you will face the craziest of all people - Californians!

Off to order a sweater and stuff

Melissa

By the way, what courses are people planning on?
5 - Chemistry

To Samiur: Haha i'm still giddy

To Marcella: You already got your tube in the mail?? I didn't think the tubes would be mailed out until Dec. 15.

OMG! I swear they made a mistake. Like I can't believe this. You guys I won't even lie, I cried. I actually cried. And I don't cry often. I'm from Montgomery County, Maryland! Okay maybe that's TMI! But, I'm soooooooooooo excited! Good luck everyone for the rest of the year. Let's not be victims of senioritis!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I got in!!!!!!!!! haHA!! I'm so excited!!!!! congratulations to the rest of you too!!!

and hello all you maryland folk!! I'm from Odenton, Maryland!

Yay for getting-in-ness!

Boo for not being able to throw out all my other apps cause I have to wait for financial aid offers and all that stuff.

Any linguistics/bioengineering geeks in the house?

Kelly: Haha, "getting-in-ness", I like that. And I agree about the ickiness of not being able to forget all other apps cuz of financial aid. I'm thinking about minoring in linguistics...I dunno, I feel like I wanna major/minor in everything at MIT haha

Mith,

You are right about my afternoon post. I don't mean anything insult at all by asking if you have decided to go ahead to go to MIT. I heard about you indirectly a lot recently. I am actually thinking to hire you to tutor my younger sibling math for I have heard you tutoring students of Fort Bend ISD. And they all say you are superly super. I also admire your guts to homecshool yourself for high schoo and on, actually I was homeshooled by myself a lot and by my mom a tiny bit. Oh, and my mom says you are a boy with both guts and a good brain. She wonders how your parents can raise you so cool and outstanding.

You will be doing very well along whichever path you choose to take. Please receive my solute!!!

Congratulations to all u guys!!!

hi brian and sara! (and everyone else!)

i just wanted to let you guys know that there's another local that got in... i live in Norton, MA (about 40 minutes south of boston), and my dad brought me the tube in the middle of my track meet today, and of course, i immediately started jumping up and down, running around to find and tell everyone i knew. needless to say, it took a while for me to calm down lol...brian, we're right in the TVL with you, do you play any sports?

What is in the tube? Just the poster? I'm in California so I think it'll be awhile before I get mine...

Another from Texas....Dallas to be exact

It's still sinking in...i'm still freaking out. From IN, anyone else?

Congrats to all those accepted, seems to be so many people from Texas. Me and two other guys from my school applied, one accepted, me and the other deferred. Hope to see you there in Fall '07, but I guess I'll know in March.

Daniel from Atlanta - I'M FROM ATLANTA AREA TOO!
uhh, roswell/marietta (east cobb) to be exact .. where are you from/what school do you go to?

Veronica - WTP EECS here .. is this the Veronica who waited for like an hour at the boston airport for the WTP tutors to come pick us up with the shuttle?!?!?!? in ME, right? yes? awesome!!

Andrea - is this andrea from ME or EECS?

WHOOOOOOOOOOO FOR WTP!!

any nor-cal people?

I'm from Nor-Cal. I'm not an 11 though. You guys remind me of myself about a year ago. ; )

Oh and I forgot. Congrats to everyone. I'll be seeing you guys next year.

To that question about majors/minors being considered. I am considering as a major: Course 6 (definitely doing this), course 18 (maybe a double), course 9(seems pretty cool), and as a minor course 14. Oh man this is so unreal! I can't wait to see everybody!

Hey- Congratulations to all! When you're thinking of a major, don't forget about SHASS (School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences)! I work in grad admin in PoliSci (17)- it's a great department. The undergraduate admin people are fantastic and there's always cookies and candy in the office!

You have no idea how happy I am-I was tutoring at the library and I sat there twitching and I was like um simple harmonic what? so then I went to check and it was such a relief. I am so excited!!!!!!!

Anne: woo a-town down! Hehe. I go to North Springs and I live down near northside hospital

whoops the north springs one was me

Congratulations to everyone! You've obviously done a lot to get here. Be proud, but humble. I will be spending the next few years trying to earn enough money to pay for my education. Ahh! I can't wait to get aquainted with all of you. Don't be afraid to contact me on facebook or myspace(soon to be completed). See you all in the fall!

Stacey, yes we are in TVL together, I play baseball hockey and football, you guys beat us in overtime this year, it was a great game...

let me know if anyone has that facebook group up...

Hey guys, congratulations to all! I don' know if I am the only one, but the implications of this letter haven't really hit me. I mean when i read the letter i was kind of like, hmm... i got in. =].

Anyway looking forward to meeting you all and living in the wonderful city of Boston!

post when the facebook group is up!

I am from McAllen, TX

Daniel -- awesome! North springs ... hm have i taken an SAT II there? maybe ... im pretty sure it was north springs. well i live over in Pope district right next to Walton but I go to Campbell .. IB program. awesome. know who else from atlanta-ish area?

I got in. Sweet. Congrats to all who got in. Everyone from MITES, see you in April. BTW, congrats May.

Good thing I didn't tell them I was a Yankee fan.

In.

Man i just realized i cant go to CPW, my high school's marching band is going to disney april 12th to the 19th

As of now I'm actively looking for a job so I can afford the ticket or whatever expenses I need to make CPW happen for me.

Hey - congrats everyone! When I first read the acceptance letter, I thought maybe there was a computer glitch and it was all a mistake! Yesterday was DEFINATELY the happiest day of my life!!!!! Two of my friends also got in (we all go to the same HS - Ransom in Miami) and we did some major celebrating last night. Anyone else from around the South Florida area? WOW - MIT!!!!!! I'm at the Dolphins/Patriots game now (obviously, a huge Patriots fan).

Hey Rosie! I'm from Miami. I go to Palmetto. Wow, 3 kids, that's insane. I heard last year that Ransom sends kids to top schools, but 3 in one go to MIT? Very cool!

New facebook group: MIT Class of 2011

Join!

I have taken my interview, it was pretty cool. My essays are quite good. All you happy people pray for me that I will join you in March.

Hi Anne! I remember you, and I was on the bus that waited an hour for everyone else.
And Andrea is from ME, not EECS.

I was deferred, i have been crying since yesterday
afternoon, i have not eaten any food since then.
I hope to get in in March. I'm going back to sleep.
For those who were admitted-congrats.

Alvin where are you from.

Hey brittany - my band is going to Disney to play that week too. but i think we're leaving the sunday after CPW

I'm from topsfield, MA which is 30 min north of boston so i'm pretty psyched to get to go to school in my favorite city ever

Hey Veronica! Wheeee. Do you have a facebook? ... there's that WTP 2006 group ... some ME are in it, but I don't think you are. The EECSers started it though so it may have traveled slowly to ME. Anyway yeah, wow, what a summer eh?

And to the deferred - don't worry; RD will be yet another round and if you guys have the initiative to apply early then you are probably up to par for admission! good luck guys!

Jenny- I go to Reservoir (I'm the first one to apply from my school). I actually would have gone to River Hill before redistricting. My sister went there, and one of her best friends from River Hill goes to MIT now.

Phillippe - three people got in EA from my school last year. Needless to say, we didn't stop celebrating for a long, long time.

I remember how excited I was when I got in - the smile on my face didn't go away for days. Congratulations again to all of you!

Oh and all the things you dreamed of,
All the visions that you saw,
Well the time is drawing near now,
It’s yours to claim and own!

I absolutely LOVE this song (hey, I'm a Disney dork, and I'm proud of it!).

These lyrics just seem to fit *right now*. I thought I'd post them.

Congratulations to everyone who got in!!! I am so excited (now that it has sunk in...) and can't wait for CPW to go up there again!

Any other gymnasts get accepted early? = )

(Virginia Beach area by the way...)

P.S. There is no shame in being a Disney dork

MELISSA!!! DALLY!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to all who got in from the chat room gang!!! :):):) I'm kind of giddy for you lol. I really, really hope I have your luck in RA. :)

Congrats!

Stephanie, I used to do gymnastics. I miss it. But now I'm like 5'10" or something, so gymnastics will never happen lol.

Gymnast SL: I do gymnastics..though i've only been doing it for 2-3 years

sam - lol facebook me sometime. Jenny Li. I probably know your sister's friend.. I know I think everyone from River Hill who's going to MIT right now...

man I'm still stoked. I checked again today just to make sure I was still accepted :p

last year no one got accepted early, and two got in regular. this year I think I'm the only one who got in early...

Miel, I'm from IN too!! I visited MIT last month and found like 2 other Indiana people, I'm so excited to find another Hoosier who was admitted! I'm from Hobart (I go to Andrean), about forty minutes out of Chicago. You?
YAY for everyone who got admitted. I'm so excited!!

UMass, do you mean "noob"?

..and that is why you're going to UMass =)

This is definitely exciting to see all of us posting and already finding stuff in common (ok we're all high schoolers I guess it's to be expected..). Out of curiosity, are there any other Jersey-ites (Jersey-ans? Jersey-ooligans?) out there? Trumpeters? Ultimate disc players?

Definitely, everyone hit up the facebook group -- might be easier to track communications once this thread gets crammed.

UMass, go find something better to do than hang around an MIT board. If you're not going here, why the heck are you wasting your time bashing people? You *do* have better options, I'm sure.

Umass and anonymous stop the bickering. It wont amount to anything. Let us be happy.

Hi, Emily (my roomie), Christina and Dion. Go MITES 06!!!

Hello, Ivan from McAllen, TX. I'm from Brownsville. The Valley Rules!!!

Wow. I just read that I was admitted...I don't really know what to say.

Anyone here from TN? Murfreesboro area, perhaps?

...Still don't know what to say.

I'm from the Atlanta-ish area, Roswell to be exact (Roswell HS). Rachael from Roswell HS got in too (she went to MITES, some of you might know her).

There are a lot of people from Maryland! Wow! A lot of my family lives in Maryland. I'm waiting for the Orioles to come back around. Any year now...

Congrats to everyone! And I didn't wake up and find out everything was a dream! Yessss!

are anne and daniel the only Atlanta-area people on here so far? besides me...

Haha, it looks like everyone who was admitted commented on this blog!

I was deferred and I doubt I will be accepted. I'm looking forward to the other schools I applied to as well.

what is MITES?..i got accepted as well and I feel like I should know

I think it's just the 4 so far maia: you, anne, rachel, and myself

I'M SO EXCITED TO MEET ALL OF YOU WHO WERE ACCEPTED!!!!

Seriously, Oregon people? Anybody? You can't tell me that only two people from the entire state got admitted, that would be crazy ridiculous! Please, Oregonians, anybody?

Congrats to you all. ;)

Hey everyone, I created a group on facebook - it's called "Potential MIT class 2011". It's a global group, everyone feel free to join. Even if you don't have a facebook, you can sign up for free (www.facebook.com) and then we can start building a network.

Also, there's a group called "I want to go to MIT!" if anyone'd like to join that.

I really really hope that I can get to know some of you better before next fall! Congratulations to everyone!

Anyone else from Nebraska?

I would really like to know what you guys think helped you get in that the deferred students can still do to help their applications (is there anything we can still send in to MIT that would help with regular admission?)? Anyone from the admitted category wish to spread your wisdom to us "deferred" students??? :)

Anyone else think it's odd that the accepted thread is longer than the deferred one?

MITES is the Minority Intro to Engineering and Science? I think... it's a summer program at MIT, I looked into it but only got the information for it long after the application deadline, unfortunately.

The admitted is probably longer because the admits are all crazy excited (and probably not planning on doing homework or essays and such for a while, and are thus bouncing around the 'nets), and the deferred may not have thought to come back to the MIT blogs...

I'd just like to point out to everyone...
If you sign in to your myMIT account, there's a new section, with a nifty letter from the Dean of Admissions and a cool guestbook entry system where you can put some info about yourself and a picture for all the other admitted students to see and stuff.

just thought it was cool

Hay,
CONGRATS EVERYONE!
i applied Regular
so cant wait to join you guys
Elizabeth Tsai? Is it true?
WoW! you got in that young!!!
I'm impressed
hurry guys get the party started!!!
and keep all your fingers crossed for me!!
by the way is anyone of you from Pakistan???
let me know!!
OK SEE YA!!

I'm so excited. I can't sleep. I have a physics test tomorrow. I think I'm going insane with sheer glee.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! =D

(great now all my future classmates are already going to think I'm nuts)

Hi Ko!

Haha... Same here. I also applied as Regular Action. Congratulations to those who are accepted!

Guys, wish me all the best. ÜÜÜ I really desire to get into MIT as well. It's one of my dreams. Ü ;D God bless everyone!

just out of curiosity, is anyone else who got admitted from new mexico like me?

go california!

i feel really strange. first of all, because i got denied to the MITES program, but then admitted early action to MIT. secondly because it seems like everyone else went somewhere where getting into MIT was not an unusual thing, and none of the counselors at my high school can remember anyone getting in from here.

wow Mike that's awesome. It's a big deal where I live to get into MIT - all 5 people from our rival school got deferred, and I believe I'm the only one to get in early this year. Last year only two got accepted, but then we also have a lot of top students who apply to places like Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc. and CONGRATS to being the hero of your high school :D

Snively, maybe we're the only two people from Oregon that even applied Early Action.

Yay for MITES rejections, but MIT EA admittances!

Wow, superb feelings it must be to be in your consign guys, limitless congratulations to everyone! I am enormously curious to know if there has been any person from Mexico or Mexican heritage being admitted. To those rejected, the position of a star does not matter, what matters is that it shines everywhere!

I am with you edgar. I applied regular and I can't wait to see the decisions in March.

hey, any missourians?

hey, any missourians?

Congrats everyone, especially those of you who hung out in the chat room. I hope I get in RD and get to see you all next year =).
Also, to those deferred, don't give up hope!

PS I too was a gymnast, although I don't compete in it anymore. If I get in, though, we can flip together =)

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I sure want to!

>_>

LOL

xx u cant use such language here. u got deferred after 2390 thats too bad but even the 2400s get DENIED and u r not even denied. so keep ur lets hope u get admitted and dont use bad words. ur never gonna get in if matt sees ur post.

i m an international student and if u really did get 2390, in fact anyone who has got such scores, should try contact me. i m appearing in sat-I in jan so i need u ppl's help.

finally congrats to all who got admitted.

XX such language is not good and I don't really know why you posted that. Please don't do it again so that we can all enjoy ourselves here.
Don't spoil the good mood of the admitted ones.

uhhh... did we get in if our mymit account has a welcome class of 2011 message? i know thats a ritarded question but i have to be sure!

it seems like all you gangsters were shooting for the highest Sat... mines the product of the first five prime numbers!
