MIT MITES @2015

@AdrianF24‌ I got the same thing.

Did anyone who did not fill out the survey yet, get a text message from MITES asking them to fill out the survey?

@ZucchiniSoup‌ I got a text from them before I filled it out, but I only didn’t comlete it yet, it was still on my phone. I don’t see what this hysteria about the survey is about, anyway, when we get our accpetances (or rejections) we can all move on, I wish the best to all of you though!

P.S.: Is any one going through a “aw man, my essays could’ve been better, I’m never goonna get in” mood to a “wow, my essays weren’t the best that it could be, but they aren’t looking for just 2400 SAT students, they want everyone thats high schieveing and well-rounded” happy mood?

@AdrianF24‌ I’m pretty content with my essays, my guidance counselor said they were “brilliant” and some of the best he’s ever read. He said I appear to be a very interesting person. What did you write for your invention?

@ZucchiniSoup I don’t have it saved, but I researched, and then explained new methods of improved sanitation for children in LEDC’s (I was learning about the Millennium Development Goals at the time) since many children are raped and/or kidnapped because they have to walk miles just to relieve themselves-or the alternative, ruin the environmenent they live in. I think that sounds a bit cliché, but that was something very pressing to me. What did you write about?

@AdrianF24‌ same thing about the MIT booklet!! I didn’t really tell anyone when I got it just in case I hadn’t gotten, but I was fairly confident that was the response!! Stupid ads

I’m also pretty mad because I sent MItES my shitty January SAT score but killed the March one just now (2900: math 800, writing 800, reading 690)

2900?? I think you mean 2290 but either way, great job! Would you consider sending them in?

They aren’t accepting any more updates. Source: Past Experience
@Baller5‌ What did you get on the Jan. SAT?

Yea I meant 2290 lol and yea I tried calling to see if I had the opportunity to send my March scores but they haven’t called back. I highly doubt they would bc if so they’d have to make sure all applicants know, if not it’s biased. I got a 2070 in January, I had fucked up in math. This March one I improved all three sections.

So mid-April is when we’ll be notified right?

@didierdrogba‌ Hard to say. Probably the week of April 13-17. I know the earliest result in recent years was released on April 10th (a Friday this year). My money is on April 15th, a Wednesday.

@gebo342‌ Ok, thanks

Has anyone called the MITES office and asked? Also how are notified when decisions are up?

I kind of did a half-a$$ed app, since my real goal is TASP, but now that results are in less than two weeks I figured I’d come say hi. I think they’d send e-mails @ZucchiniSoup‌ . Good luck everyone who really wants it!

@ZucchiniSoup‌ called for what?

@baller55‌ he is referring to calling the MITES office to ask for the decision date.

Here are the decision days that show up in old CC threads, with applicants getting an email saying “check your portal” - and decisions were on each individual’s MITES application page…

fri apr 25 2014
wed apr 10 2013
tues apr 10 2012

So 15th is a good guesstimate

@thinky‌ Here are some earlier dates *note that these are the dates that decisions were mailed out.

monday 04-06-2009
friday 04-09-2010
thursday 4-14-2011

Isn’t April 10th the most likely?
