<p>@kraxis, yes they will definitely mail out results next week. I asked Maite 2 days ago and she said they will next week for sure.</p>
<p>Thanks for the confirmation - did she mention whether it would be via email or just regular post?</p>
<p>Last year Iām pretty sure everyone got emailed, and accepted people also got physical mail.</p>

I didnāt take the PSAT. My country has its own placement exam, which functions almost the same as PSAT. I achieved the top percentile in each section.

Not exactly. CEE and MIT are actually close. Whatās more, MIT admissions people are involved in selecting Rickoids. [MITE2S</a>, RSI, and more | MIT Admissions](<a href=āhttp://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/mite2s_rsi_and_more]MITE2Sā>MITE2S, RSI, and more | MIT Admissions)</p>

I do not know anything further than my acceptance. However, I do know that an admissions committee gathers in mid-february. Thatās why Iām sure they have already made their decisions. </p>
<p>You will all be getting your decisions in 6 days, guys! Have the best of luck!</p>
<p>I wonder how much time elapses between final decisions and sending out the emails. Are they still deliberating? Based on the link above I would guess so. </p>
<p>I donāt even know why Iām wasting time thinking about this at this point though, as Iām from the most competitive state and personally know many, many people from my region alone who are far more impressive than me. Sigh.</p>
<p>@megalomaniac7</p>
<p>I believe, though Iām not sure, they are making placements, negotiating with relevant professors/mentors about the selected studentsā fields. They want to guarantee that the student will have an assigned mentor. That is why I guess they are sending decisions later than mid-february.</p>
<p>@kraxis - Youāve got me worried. They didnāt accept anyone who applied for Comp Sci? Any clue about astrophysics (my first choice)?
Also, that link is from 2005, so I donāt think the decisions are necessarily coming out in 6 days.</p>
<p>Ok so on March 6th, Maite said they will send out emails ānext week.ā I wish they would tell us which day, cause I know Iāll be panicking every single day next week.</p>
<p>@rdcolina
Based on what I could tell from the past few yearsā threads, there wasnāt a single āacceptedā post where the field was compsci. The vast majority (of CC acceptees) seem to be math, bio, or physics. my 1st was compsci and 2nd math, so Iām really hoping field choice doesnāt have a huge effect on decisions.</p>
<p>^I know 5 kids who have gotten in for comp sci. Donāt worry about it.</p>
<p>@kraxis
Field choice obviously has an effect on decisions, they probably donāt want all 80 attendees doing biology. But do not worry about not getting in because compsci was your first choice. As you can see at this link, [RSI</a> 2011 > Advice > Examples](<a href=āhttp://web.mit.edu/rsi/www/2011/advice/examples/]RSIā>http://web.mit.edu/rsi/www/2011/advice/examples/), there have definitely been computer science projects in the past and I think they try to have a diverse group of research interests.</p>
<p>So at what stages are you guys at? Confident/hopeless/chill/panicking/impatient/etc?</p>
<p>If I get in, Iāll be happy, but it wonāt be the end of the world, Iāve alternate plans for the summer, mathcamp and hopefully MOP or SPARC (guess what field I applied for). I suppose impatient best describes how I feel, I just want to find out so I can move on with life.</p>
<p>thanks for the clarification, everyone. I was definitely happy to see that they even have a ācomputer scienceā section for the representative papers.</p>
<p>Iād say Iām at the āimpatient/anxiousā stage.</p>
<p>Iām at the doubtful/anxious stage. I donāt expect to get in but I can always wish. I just want to get it over with and start to hope about other things.</p>
<p>Doubtful/anxious stage for sure. Thanks for telling me about the joint decisions, by the way - I wasnāt aware of that at all. :D</p>
<p>How do you all cope with rejections? I donāt deal with them well at all. Iāll be very, very crushed if I donāt get in, so I need to start accepting that I wonāt get in now. I do have another internship if I donāt get in, but nothing comparable to what RSI is.</p>
<p>Right now I think Iāll cope with my probable rejection by rejoicing with the fact that Iāll be sciencing some way or another. Today I was massing stuff for this bioengineering project Iām doing at my local university and since it was such menial work, I had a lot of time to think about what I want to do with life and Iām just glad that even if I donāt end up getting to RSI, Iāll at least have science. </p>
<p>I guess Iām getting all sappy and cheesy but after massing stuff for over two hours, my brain just starts getting all meaning-of-life-ish. </p>
<p>So Iām at the AHHHHHHH-science!/happy stage.</p>
<p>Any guesses on when the results will come out? Iām thinking Thursday/Friday. I think it was a Thursday last year.</p>
<p>I have a feeling itās a straight up rejection letter. Since my GPA and SAT I arenāt perfect. Other than that all my resume and college classes look very goodā¦ My state sent 1 person last year and I happen to know him tooā¦ Hm my guess is 3/14 just because itās Pi day and people say Mai said next weekā¦ Good luck everyone! After rejection, I pray for MITES, SIMR or SSP</p>
