<p>^^modesty is the best policy… </p>
<p>That is all.</p>
<p>just checked- decisions.mit.edu is up and you can verify your username and password now… </p>
<p>raj91- what category were you in at ISEF? i was in energy & transportation</p>
<p>Ugh, my friend just got deferred from Dartmouth and this all seems too real now. I’m not even looking forward to Monday at this point.</p>
<p>I know! My friend who is AMAZING got deferred from Dartmouth. Maybe my essays will pull me through?</p>
<p>So I just got the email from MIT Admissions announcing that decisions will be online on Monday (haha, like I didn’t know that already…) and it says</p>
<p>" Admissions decisions will be available exclusively online."</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>" This year, we will only be announcing decisions online, so if you
haven’t created a MyMIT account, make sure to create one so you can
find out your admissions decision. "</p>
<p>does…does this mean no actual mail at all? no letter? no TUBE for the lucky few???</p>
<p>I guess no tube =/</p>
<p>It’s going to be slightly saddening even getting in now!</p>
<p>However… On the bright side this could mean that they’re accepting more EA applicants this year and they can’t send out that many tubes!!!</p>
<p>
nah, I don’t think they would end the [url=<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/early_action_versus_regular_action/early_action_versus_regular_ac.shtml]tradition[/url”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/early_action_versus_regular_action/early_action_versus_regular_ac.shtml]tradition[/url</a>]. would they?</p>
<p>however, would anyone happen to know when the mail is delivered after the announce date? I live in Virginia, and I’d kinda like to know how long I would have to wait after Monday to get a tube or letter.</p>
<p>“However… On the bright side this could mean that they’re accepting more EA applicants this year and they can’t send out that many tubes!!!”</p>
<p>Dear Lord, I hope so.</p>
<p>Well when the day they released online decisions was a Saturday, they’d mail them Friday I think.</p>
<p>oh my gawd i really really really really want a tube…:(</p>
<p>But you can’t have one (from MIT anyway). I just got an email saying that their only announcing it online this year, 
what, too many tubes to send out. :)</p>
<p>on the other hand… I think I won’t feel as bad when I get deferred/rejected now. Because even though other people get accepted, they don’t get a really cool tube either.</p>
<p>:) wellll, it IS one way to look at it :/</p>
<p>but it’s a TRADITION!!! HOW COULD THEY NOT DO IT</p>
<p>Hopefully they meant just for early action? Maybe we’ll get our tubes with everyone else in march? better than nothing… </p>
<p>I want a tube !!!</p>
<p>Ok so today I went online and caught a glimpse of a subject line and all I saw was "MIT Admissions D…"and I like freaked out cause I thought it said decisions, but it was just directions for getting your decision haha</p>
<p>EA people would either get them next week or not at all, because RD people don’t get tubes.</p>
<p>“There are no interim screens, so you should be sure you are ready to receive your decision online before logging in to decisions.mit.edu.”</p>
<p>It’s gonna be like jumping into cold water! That’s gonna be a nerve wracking moment, I can already imagine my eyes darting around frantically, looking for the keywords rejected, deferred, or accepted. </p>
<p>And we’re 122 hours away from the decision now.</p>
<p>yep. tradition didn’t end.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^^ahhhh yes, just saw this.</p>
<p>yay tubes!</p>
<p>I can’t believe MIT isn’t going to prepare us for the decision. I guess they decided it would be even more nerve-wrecking for us.</p>
