Early Action extension?

<p>The MyMIT website seems to be experiencing some problems and the site mentioned that the EA deadline will be extended. Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>Call MIT at 617-253-4791 if you want to verify their extension statement, but I’d be willing to bet they aren’t lying. :)</p>

<p>Matt McGann verifies the extension in his blog.

<p>Update from MIT: the deadline will be extended for ALL apps, not just online ones. How long the extension will be has not yet been determined … when the site is back up, probably a few days will be allowed.</p>

<p>do you think this will delay decision leets too, or do you figure they’ll go ahead and get started with the completed apps they have?</p>

<p>I was thinking about that, and don’t know. She said that they get the completed apps done first, but whether they will delay everyone’s decisions to be “fair”, I can’t say.</p>

<p>The myMIT site is back up today. I wonder what this means for the deadline extension.</p>

<p>Just a heads up: The postmark deadline for Early Action applications has been extended to November 5.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update - I see that in the myMIT site now once logged in. :)</p>
