so, how can you transfer the number into true and false?

63

wait what is everyone getting?

64

Sorry, I just meant that the source code of the page, and a search of true gave me 5 values and false were 3.

65

So what kind of information can you interpret from these values? Does 5 mean success, or 3 means failure?

66

i also got 5 true values and 3 false values like you, doubt it means anything

No, that the source code for students who are admittted might be different from those not admitted.

68

Hi anyone can tell the difference?

69

so far one other person commented with the same values, so no chnage so far. Unless someone else gets a different value.

70

Yeah, 5 true with 3 false!

71

so 3 people have the same values (you, me, and momofds), this could mean 3 things:

  1. The true and false values dont mean anything
  2. The values could potentially be different for an accepted candidate and considering MITā€™s acceptance rate, we 3 prolly getting rejected
  3. This could be the values for an accepted candidate and all 3 of us are getting accepted (the most unlikely possibility)

Itā€™s probably the first one. I doubt they already entered the results into the system.

73

Sorry, not understanding the true and false value conversations. Is this something on the portal? I donā€™t access my childā€™s portal so maybe thatā€™s why I am clueless.

74

i had 6 true and 6 falseā€¦ im not sure if i did it right though lol. i clicked on the ā€œrequest to withdraw your applicationā€ then clicked inspect, cmd+f true and false

75

click request to withdraw, right click and then click ā€œview page sourceā€, and then command f true and then command f false, tell me what you get

76

interestingly enough, if i try doing it your way, i get 8 true, 7 false, so if someone could else try your method and chime in what they get, it could be very useful

77

this means absolutely nothing; theres also some extensions which modify every page source code so they could be adding few false/trues without your knowledge lol.

78

Off topic but, do you guys still have the ā€œmanage recommenders and reportā€ button (or something like that)? Mine seems to have been removed recently.
