<p>do they send deferrals and rejections out at the same time?</p>
<p>^ ^ ^ ^ </p>
<p>Yes, they were all mailed on Friday.</p>
<p>Yes, all decisions are sent at the same time. In the international RD cycle, they send accept notices overnight air and deferals/rejects regular. In domestic, no such distinction exists. I</p>
<p>3 hours til the mail gets here. I’ll be at work until 6! ACKK!</p>
<p>Ahhh… my mail should be here any minute! My heart is beating out of my chest…</p>
<p>good luck hamster!!! </p>
<p>I’m off to work! AHHHHHHHHh <em>explodes</em></p>
<p>and I made the mistake of letting my parents know it was gonna be a tube (or more likely a lack thereof). Even my dad says, “y’know rach, you should expect a no”. The only ones left with faith are my econ teach and my counselor.</p>
<p>maverach:
at least your family isn’t planning for you to get in :-). My parents were actually saving a heater for next hear! I keep telling them, there’s a great chance I WON’T get in! It’ll make rejection/deferral very difficult. </p>
<p>hamster:
Where are you?</p>
<p>what are your stats zking?</p>
<p>times like these i wish i was an africanamerican/nativeamerican/hispanic female
(cause then i couldnt possibly not get in)
anyway it seems ridiculous that females have over double the rate of admission</p>
<p>Come on, StephenP. That comment was low! Fact is fact, but it also seems ridiculous that females have to go through a lot of other stuff that males wouldn’t have to go through even in the worst of places (read: hell/nightmares). Or chaining themselves to telephone poles and starving themselves in protest. </p>
<p>Don’t look at it like that. Besides, the more girls the better, wot?</p>
<p>um… that maybe true if i get accepted, but before that, i find it unfair <em>stephenp</em> close to 27% compared to i think 11%?</p>
<p>And there’s that whole “bleeding from your genitals” thing; I dunno if I’d be able to handle that…</p>
<p>Affirmative action overall is ridiculous, be it for gender, religion, race, whatever</p>
<p>■■■■■ Globber, it’s so true. I mean I can barely handle it myself.</p>
<p>zking, sorry about that dude.</p>
<p>W.T.F. (apparently they asterisk out **<em>) *explodes again</em> NORTHERN CT DIDN’T GET ANYTHING</p>
<p>ARHGGHGHGGHGGH</p>
<p>I think that affirmative action should be based on income, opportunities, etc not just on race or gender. And seriously, more than twice the chance for females? At least where I come from, females don’t have a “tougher” life than do their male counterparts. Especially the type of female that applies to MIT.</p>
<p>Yeah I agree that for income it should be used, because that’s really a direct correlation.</p>
<p>haha yeah, all the girls I know applying to MIT are upper-middle class or upper class asians…</p>
<p>“haha yeah, all the girls I know applying to MIT are upper-middle class or upper class asians…”</p>
<p>could that have anything to do with the area in which you live? read: you yourself in the same financial bracket?</p>
<p>i’m a lower-class hispanic female, but i wouldn’t depend on that…</p>
<p>actually no, pebbles, my city has very different level of incomes (I’m actually lower middle class), and I don’t just mean in my city, I mean people I’ve met online as well</p>
<p>well, the answer to the first question would still be “yes, it does have something to do with where I live.” </p>
<p>just sayin’.</p>
