| Decisions on 22nd???????????
A fellow applicant told me that there was a mention somewhere in a 'new' blog that the decisions were supposed to be released on March 22nd... Any authentication on this piece of information or where the blog/blog post could be found?

Yeah that is a bit odd. I would think it'd be the 15th, but I can think of one reason why they'd be behind (i cant say). Anyway, Snively seems to believe it is the 22nd ( A Shorter Wait). That is a new blog he put up for decisions. You can read about it in his normal blog ( Snively).

I was reading through Snively's blog, (the normal one) and when I came across the comments there, thats when I begun wondering about whether the decision date was already announced... Thanks anyway

Snively is as helpful as usual. Even if that means informing us that we need to wait even more.

Well he is just guessing. The admissions office might just force it on the 15th so that acceptees have more time to plan for CPW.

Guys, I know this is not what you want to hear, but just try not to think about it too much. Seriously. Focus on other things, focus on schoolwork, watch this and laugh at CalTech, do whatever you can not to think about it. Guessing the date won't make it come any faster.
For serious, though, the week leading up to decisions will be the most nerve-wracking and longest of your life, so save the anxiety for then. It'll come sooner than you know it.

@bball
I was pressured to do so by tong and pwaffle. And also because some else had already made one, which I found to be ridiculous, and we all needed somewhere else to talk besides hijacking other peoples' threads.
But seriously, I sort of wish I had been less caught up in the whole thing. And I needed an excuse to post that video.

inthezone, MIT will officially announce the date when they've gotten through most of selection -- they can't announce the date until they have a good idea how much more work they need to do.
Historically, they have announced the date around the end of the first week of March, but of course past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

My bets are on the 22nd. The 15th seems awfully early, especially since they got more apps than prior years.
