MITES 2011 Information & Discussion

<p>Thanks soydecali! :slight_smile: Haha I got rejected from HSHSP, oh well… there were different plans in store for me. </p>

<p>Gahhhh MITES… </p>

<p>De-liver
De letter,
De sooner,
De better!</p>

<p>Can’t take credit for that, though. Got it from the wonderful Amelia books ([Marissamoss.com](<a href=“http://www.marissamoss.com/]Marissamoss.com[/url]”>http://www.marissamoss.com/)</a>). They’re pretty childish, but RIDICULOUSLY funny if you need a break from all this admissions stuff :D</p>

<p>Was E2 hard to get into?</p>

<p>Wait, lightyears when did you get your letter?</p>

<p>Is there a facebook page for mites 2011?</p>

<p>thank nocturnalduck, and congratz</p>

<p>@needhelp: got my letter tonight</p>

<p>CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ACCEPTANCES!
and to all rejectees,dudes. your all awesome. thanks for making this wait so much more interesting for me :slight_smile:
why have i not received anything yet? holy cow…
maybe i was so epic-ly rejected they decided not to even send me anything… :(</p>

<p>SREIOUSLY
I HAVENT REECEIVED ANYTHING YET
did any of you get an email?</p>

<p>Facedownclap— you can’t “get into” E2. It is for 50-60 MITES applicants who were not accepted but MIT still wanted to have us come. </p>

<p>There was no application, I honestly didn’t know about it. It’s a new program they’re starting this year. </p>

<p>So you really can’t say if it was “hard” or “easy” to get into</p>

<p>lightyears, how do you receive mail at night?</p>

<p>and cw, i havent received anything either.</p>

<p>No unsolicited emails were sent out. It’s all snail mail this year.</p>

<p>oh ok thank gosh needhelp94 :slight_smile:
maybe tomorrow?
today i went to my mail
and saw like 10 envelopes…none of them were phat
i was soo scareddd!! :p</p>

<p>yeah, i went to mine looking for a nine by twelve and only saw small ones. Initially i thought i was rejected but then saw no letter at all. I hope it comes tomorrow. I am losing sleep over this.</p>

<p>status: rejected</p>

<p>@sarac25
I live in Humble, TX, and I got my letter today.
I hope your son finds out soon!</p>

<p>@jburger- thank you and congrats! I’m starting to think he probably won’t be accepted because his school is anything but “disadvantaged”. Hopefully we wil find out tomorrow either way.</p>

<p>I’m not much of an engineering person, so MITES was just an exploratory pursuit. I tend toward the health/biology field. Overall, I’m happy because of the alternatives that are available (HSHSP ftw). Hopefully this is helpful to next years’ applicants!</p>

<p>Hurrah! I was rejected! lol. I didn’t expect to get in anyway cuz I’m asian, but it was worth a shot :p. I really enjoyed the last couple of months, getting to know applicants like me and frantically working on applications and nervously waiting for the decisions. I also learned a lot through this thread (for example how to make the :smiley: face) It kind of gave me a feel for what college applications will feel like, and maybe I won’t be stressed when I do my college apps. </p>

<p>For those of you accepted, I congratulate you. You will have an amazing summer at MIT.</p>

<p>For those of you rejected like me, don’t worry, there is still a chance to get into MIT when we all apply for it at the end of this year.</p>

<p>For those of you who are still waiting, don’t give up hope yet. There is still a chance for you to be accepted into MITES.</p>

<p>Although I won’t be able to go to MITES this summer, I will be at a UCSD internship related to mathematics. I can’t say that that is better than going to MITES, but it’s better than a lot of other options.</p>

<p>If you want to add me on facebook, message me your link on CC and I will add you as soon as possible. </p>

<p>Have a wonderful rest of the year and an amazing summer guys! I hope to see you all at MIT in fall of 2012!!!:smiley: :smiley: :D</p>
