<p>yeah…and I might be one of them.</p>
<p><em>PS: God, if you love me like i love you, please don’t make the above statement come true.</em></p>
<p>I agree with james ;)</p>
<p>Will add the messenging section soon. First, why don’t I compile a list of other things people want added so that I can make a final adjustment so we don’t futher clog the thread.</p>
<p>Only concern is, as the thread demonstrates, I seem to be getting lots of feedback to abandon the opened thread and have a new one created when actual decisions arrive. Maybe we can move discussions and comments regarding The Official EA Decision roster here? Any Suggestions?</p>
<p>Is it Frank? ;-)</p>
<p>You’re really going out on a limb with that guess :)</p>
<p>I think my name would be a little (TONS) less apparent from my username.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m Frank. .581% of men have the name Frank.</p>
<p>hmm mognoose this is a tough one…</p>
<p>how about a shot in the dark here…
Rumplestiltskin?
No wait…
ERIK.
:)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What disturbs me is that ~2550 FEMALES are also named Frank.</p>
<p>Edited to add: No offense if you’re in the female .3% of Franks.</p>
<p>As a girl named Frank, I take personal offense to your post, hamster ;)</p>
<p>A girl named Frank. Is that a hook? LOL.</p>
<p>you know I’m kidding…right?</p>
<p>But yeah, that would be some major hookness. “Yeah, okay, so my GPA is only a 3.0 and I got sub-1800 on the SAT, but MY NAME IS FRANK!”</p>
<p>ACCEPT! ACCEPT! lol</p>
<p>wow this is what i get for not visiting CC in a short while. now im behind on all the fun =( hehe. i think i’m just going to make myself forget that I ever applied to MIT so I won’t be constantly waiting for the mail and hoping. If I do get it in, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, no loss =D
- i’m [jooooo-leeee] =)</p>
<p>I can’t believe you just said that. That was our AP physics joke. Apply to a school, doublethink yourself into thinking you didn’t. If you get rejected, just be like “***! I didn’t even APPLY” and if you get accepted be like “WOW! They must really want me!”</p>
<p>ahahah that’s a good way to think about it.</p>
<p>If you’re deferred, do you have a different likelihood of being admitted under regular? higher or lower? I wonder if there are statistics on how many EA deferrments were admitted later…</p>
<p>im not sure abt statistics, but i know you’ll be viewed the exact same as a regular applicant. most of the ppl deferred are given that decision because of space, and a LOT will be admitted regular. i emailed ben jones, asking him if any REALLY good matches were deferred, and his response, word for word was “Yes, there were a huge number of <em>really</em> good matches who were deferred. This
is because the EA pool tends to be a bit stronger overall and yet we
can only take 1/3 of the class during EA, so some folks who we
already know will absolutely get in RA get deferred.” so dont worry if you get deferred</p>
<p>check the MIT website… it says it</p>
<p>mhm, so I heard acceptance comes in cardboard tubes and the rest in white envelopes…</p>
<p><em>groans</em></p>
<p>I predict my white envelope is sitting in a white bin at my local post office down the street as I type, rubberbanded to the rest of our mail.</p>
<p>Mine too, maverach.</p>
