<p>Same here. There are days when I think, “Wow, I am a pretty good applicant.” Then there are days when I think, “Wow, there are so many better applicants than me.”</p>
<p>I’m just trying not to even think about it or else it’ll drive me crazy… can’t believe results will come out in less than one month AHHHHHHHHHH!!!</p>
<p>Yep, I try not to think about it, but it seems that I go over my application in my head everyday, the possible decisions, and my various possible reactions. The weekends are the worst because I have lots of time to think about it. The waiting continues…</p>
<p>I was looking at last year’s EA/RD results. Gosh so many outstanding people who get deferred… One guy with 2400 and 800s on all math/science SAT2 and 5s on all APs. ***…</p>
<p>I try to avoid looking at that thread, but sometimes I get curious. We should really avoid it; it only shows some examples. It can make it seem like my own chances are very slim because I compare myself to all of them. The numbers and stats don’t really capture those applicants or ourselves.</p>
<p>You sure need some nerves to keep reading this post while waiting for the admissions decision.</p>
<p>yeah that thread is intimidating, but it’s all numbers. i’m gonna stop looking at them hahaha. come, december 15th!</p>
<p>Can you tell me how many people read the application? How long do they spend on each (on an average)? Is there an advantage to send an email to update any later developments of significance?</p>
<p>^One of the great things about MIT: They’re really open about this stuff.</p>

<p>^ Thanks. 10 Char</p>
<p>so december 15th is THE date?</p>
<p>No, the date hasn’t been announced yet.</p>
<p>Dec 15th is the decision date for EA at another tech school on the West Coast…</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope we’ll all have something to be very thankful for in a couple of weeks (the fact that it’s only a couple of weeks away might be something to be thankful for as well).</p>
<p>I’m personally thankful that MIT got my SAT II Math II score soon after I pointed out that they had my Math I by accident! </p>
<p>Something occurred to me that I’m just curious about now that they have both… it’s kind of an opinion question. If they see I got below a 700 on the Math I in May 2009 and then got a perfect score on the Math II in June 2010, would that help (by showing that I worked really hard to improve, which I did) or hurt me (since it shows I’m not exactly a math genius) in the long run? Just wondering what other people make of this inadvertent situation I’m in…</p>
<p>Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I applied for EA as well, so hopefully we all get some good results in a few weeks.</p>
<p>HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I’m thankful for CC and all you wonderful CC-ers who let me know I’m not alone in this nervewracking wait for EA results :)</p>
<p>i GOTTA JOIN IN ON THIS THREAD :)! !!!</p>
<p>
Neither, because they will only use the math II score, which is higher.</p>
<p>i applied EA as well! goodluck everyone :3</p>
