<p>I’m not. I’ve sort of decided on Duke, no point going and getting confused. :p</p>
<p>Besides, who’s going to pay for it? :D</p>
<p>@fuzzy: Accept the place on the waitlist, they’ll accept you and it’ll all be cool again. :)</p>
<p>I can’t afford to go to Caltech’s pre-frosh weekend. Flying all the way to Calif. == not cheap. (Alas. Any pre-frosh weekend that asks you whether you like Numb3rs on its form is totally worth going to.)</p>
<p>Not that there would be any point.</p>
<p>But you might well be accepted from that waitlist. (At least that’s what I keep telling myself whenever I see the word Yale. :))</p>
<p>Numb3rs FTW!</p>
<p>I’m going…</p>
<p>sp, were you able to convince your mom to let you go?</p>
<p>I took myself off the waitlist…</p>
<p>Numb3rs is awesome. 
(I hope they’re still shooting on campus – I want to stalk the filming crews!)</p>
<p>Well, Rice is sort of paying for us and our tickets… (Ducks Barrage)</p>
<p>So it’s almost an insult not to go really. They’re giving us over 120K after all. :D</p>
<p>All Hail Numb3rs!! (They really, really should do an episode on the college admissions process. :))</p>
<p>If you have nothing better to do, GO!</p>
<p>shri-how about your visas then?</p>
<p>How would they get math and crime into that, though, Shrivats? Apart from ‘enraged teenager rejected from MIT, goes on numerically-derived serial killing spree’, that is. ;)</p>
<p>The sad part is that I can personally wander in and out of the US for up to 180 days as I please, but can’t attend admit weekends anyway. :(</p>
<p>That’s what I was talking about :D</p>
<p>…Okay, that would be AWESOME. <em>grin</em> Really, really awesome.</p>
<p>‘Right, so I need to do one on the first day, then one on the second, then two, three, five, eight, thirteen…’</p>
<p>That would be too easy. :p</p>
<p>True, but I can’t come up with a clever function right now. :D</p>
<p>Unless, like, you want to go for sequential approximations of sqrt(2) starting from 1 and taking it from there. 
(why yes, I do like wording things in order to mess with people’s heads as much as possible.) Except that that would involve having to kill non-integer numbers of people and stuff, so maybe use them as coordinates. </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p><em>kills thread with geeky math-ness</em></p>
<p>(I was waiting for someone to tell me that that wasn’t an admissible function because it converged too fast, and no-one did. I am disappointed in you lot!)</p>
<p>anyone familiar with this? <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mathematical_Model.jpg[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mathematical_Model.jpg</a></p>

<p>Noldo, if you are…I just don’t know what to say</p>
<p>*sigh</p>
<p>Fibonacci? You can do better (or more complicated, Noldo, you can! :D)</p>

<p>I got my rejection letters postmarked 29th March today!</p>

<p>Dear Committee Members:</p>
<p>Thanks for your letter of April 1. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection at this time.</p>
<p>This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of schools, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.</p>
<p>Despite your outstanding record and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my current career needs. Consequently, I will begin taking classes as a graduate student in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.</p>
<p>Best of luck in rejecting future applicants!</p>
<p>Sincerely Yours,
[Name Withheld]</p>
<p>fuzzy – No, I’m not, don’t worry. 
(After reading the notes, though – yeah, I recognise ‘Jacobi theta function’, because I think if you fiddle it you get a Fourier series out of it, but there my knowledge ends.)</p>
<p>Kaushik – Fibonacci will always be my favourite, though. (It’s actually my Mac OS X login password. Which I can safely share, since it’s only my OS login, and you’d need to steal my laptop to use it. ;))</p>
