I dunno if I should post the exact message but it said that decisions would be mailed today. They intend to select around 30 students and hold around 50-75 and deny the rest. It also said that all decisions would be made today. I dunno if that is a sign, cuz I got it as a reply to an email I had sent weeks ago. So perhaps not, but I wish!

So if a secretary says it will definitely not be today and the Sr. Associate Director of Admissions says today, who do we believe?
I really want to know, even if it's a no, I just want this anxious wait to be over.

hmm, it's already past 5 in MA, so I'm starting to doubt it'll be coming out today.

Nah it ain't coming out today I bet. In the MIT blogs several people called and the secretaries kept saying that it won't come out today.

Last week, Matt blogged the wait list news at about 7-8 p.m. Pacific Time.. so about 10-11 Eastern Time.. So it could still come out today..

Good Luck everyone!!!! It is so difficult to not think about the wait list anymore..

I think it makes sense for them to call people in the evening. That way they won't miss people who are at track/other extra-curricular after school activities.

Hi saturnVroketo,

How did you get such an email from MIT admissions directly?

I am just curious. I am on the wait list, too.
