<p>man none of us californians made it. 
boo hoo</p>
<p>Well actually, I’m a Californian. Southern Californian to be exact. However, I got nothing in the mail. Only got my decision when I emailed the mites program yesterday. Also got all the documents in another email, which I’m working on right now. Good luck to all those still pending. </p>
<p>@BlackRose: sorry to hear that you got rejected. But for sure, we’ll see you around on the MIT board next year. Probably as soon as October. I’ll post a recap of the summer for people who are interested and for next year’s batch of MITES applicants.</p>
<p>Rejected as well…not suprised
any backup plans for summer?..I need to find something to do</p>
<p>miracle didn’t happen…</p>
<p>I got rejected!! and I’m weirdly relieved/happy. Happy because I’m done waiting and relieved because that means I don’t have to choose between two great programs. sorry to everyone else who was aldo rejected and congratz Mikester that’s awesome!! oh and blackrose, idk when I have to respond to YESS by, they said they’d send me a packet this week and I’m assuming that that packet will have all of the information</p>
<p>Rejected! My application was frigging awful, so it’s not a surprise at all. And I really don’t like programs for minorities anyway (I am URM, btw). There’s something about them that just strikes me as off.</p>
<p>I am now officially 0 for 3. Guess I’ll have to get a job.</p>
<p>lol@ millancad, yeah it was awkward getting the rec. letters from the teachers cause they seem to be against affirmative action in my school</p>
<p>OMG!!!
I am invited to the junior Fly-in program!!!
I am so excited!!!
I’ll be in MIT for 3 days!!!</p>
<p>ectastic!!!</p>
<p>@jiezhao:
What? They sent u a rejection letter first, and a fly-in invitation later?</p>
<p>yes, it is kinda weird. on the fly-in invitation, they apologized for not reaching me early enough. I am TOTALLY surprised, especially after being depressed yesterday all day.</p>
<p>Hey guys!
Sorry to hear a lot of you got rejected.
Atleast you have the entire summer off now! 
I’m still hoping I get in, being that I’m on the wait-list.
I will GO CRAZY if I get to go!
Sucks I have to wait another month -__-</p>
<p>that’s awesome jiezhao! have fun at MIT
and thanks krysty, I hope you get in (:</p>
<p>thanks petril21. hey get your hopes up, you’ll probably receive an invitation tomorrow! then I’ll have a chance to meet you there!
Krysty I think you will make it!!! good luck.</p>
<p>does anyone get an invitation to the fly-in? I hope I can meet ppl on CC at MIT!</p>
<p>I hope I will!
I’d love to meet everyone :)</p>
<p>thanks jiezhao, but I actually got my official rejection letter in the mail today (:. Oh well, I guess I won’t be seeing MIT this summer, but at least this means I’ll be seeing Caltech :)</p>
<p>Just wondering, when you email do you email the <a href=“mailto:mites@mit.edu”>mites@mit.edu</a> email?
I emailed and I haven’t gotten a response yet, and I would prefer to know about my rejection sooner than later
But I remember there was something missing from my application, so someone specific emailed me. do i email that person?</p>
<p>Yeah, if you emailed today you won’t get a response till tomorrow morning though. I don’t know about emailing specific people though.</p>
<p>I just emailed the <a href=“mailto:mites@mit.edu”>mites@mit.edu</a> one</p>
<p>Well, I emailed last night but perhaps I’ll get a response tomorrow
thanks!
I’m guess I’m just a wee bit impatient</p>
<p>What is the fly-in invitation? Who gets it? I visited MIT like 2 weeks ago, so my parents would be so upset with me for wasting all their money if I got one.</p>
<p>However, I wouldn’t mind visiting MIT again. It’s awesome there.</p>
