MIT (2024-2025)

[waxen cloak]

Oh lmao

[stray plume]

Figured I was too vague

[waxen cloak]

My free time essay was so fucking ass

[wise glacier]

Yk what was bad

What was horrible?

My field of study essay oml

[stray plume]

What did u write about (vaguely)

[waxen cloak]

That one was wild

[stray plume]

i dont even remember my field of study essay

[long spruce]

Lol the field of study essay was so hard

[untold cape]

I acc liked that one a lot 😭😭

[stray plume]

I wrote about dungeons and dragons lmfao

[long spruce]

I had too much I wanted to write about in 100 words

[waxen cloak]

I don't think they care abt that one that much

[wise glacier]

BRO IT WAS 100 WORDS

[waxen cloak]

Idk I didn't cook on that one

[untold cape]

I loved the short word count

[stray plume]

Lol dude the “unique path” one 😭😭😭

Almost killed me to come up with something

[untold cape]

Help I just talked abt being a theater kid

[wise glacier]

ok good cuz lwk id reject myself over that

😭

it was so soulless

[waxen cloak]

I COOKED ON THAT ONE

[wise glacier]

SAME

THAT WAS MY FAVORITE ESSAY PROMPT

[stray plume]

Lowkey Im glad we r all just talking about the application instead of dooming about it

[wise glacier]

THAT IVE EVER SEEN FOR A COLLEGE ESSAY

[waxen cloak]

What did y'all write abt

[wise glacier]

CUZ I FELT LIKE IT WAS SO ME

[stray plume]

It was fun to write when I had an idea

[waxen cloak]

SAME

[wise glacier]

dont want to share here in case i get deferred and have to compete with the ra kids

[coarse parrot]

the only thing i had fun writing was the maker portfolio and my friends dartmouth peer rec

[stray plume]

Real thats why I deleted LOL

[coarse parrot]

he got matched so like i must have done well

[waxen cloak]

Dms

?

[wise glacier]

yea sure

[molten mauve]

And I bet way more than half of that 2.5% are athletes

I wished the results came back 12/8…

Glashier kinkelin constant

1.2824

[long spruce]

Yeah

I did the doomer math and there are only like 50 spots I could get in EA

[molten mauve]

It’s so over 🙏

Like

100 qb kids is crazy

[icy stirrup]

Omg 100 😭

Ok soo chances r low low

[full lynx]

i got an email saying i could walk on if i get in ... does that count

[molten mauve]

No coach support? 😭

[full lynx]

no LOL

i dont need i got another type of support

🪖 ⚔️

[molten mauve]

Type shi

[coarse parrot]

should i have reached out to the rotc people

[full lynx]

did you get it?

if you did then they should have reached out

[coarse parrot]

after realizing all the stuff the schools have to offer i never even finished the scholarship

like i assumed i wouldnt have time

[full lynx]

u still have time to apply

[coarse parrot]

but all i need to upload is my like mile time

[full lynx]

go 4 it

at this point it might not help that much for admissions but

its still free college

[coarse parrot]

yeah but i want to get a phd so i probably wont use it i gues

does it auctually help with admissions

[full lynx]

ye

[coarse parrot]

do you have a source for that

[full lynx]

trust me bro

👍

u shouldnt do rotc to help with admissions though

thats not what it's for

[coarse parrot]

ik i am realizing i might as well finish it

but like my family be lowkey saying you dont need to

can i just skip time to decision date

[molten mauve]

@full lynx how much support do they give your app

[jagged jasper]

Depends on the school but from what i heard a little bit

But you have to get the 4year for ivies

And they dont give out that many after the first round

[trim locust]

Um so is it bad to have test scores below the 25th percentile 🧍‍♂️

[onyx jacinth]

that's still 1 in 4 mit students

which is a lot

[trim locust]

Ok ty

770 math should be fine right?

I’m not a math related major

[wise glacier]

i think

[trim locust]

👍

[errant turret]

any current students who r course 18

[full lynx]

For MIT they put something on my application for admissions to see

According to them

[fresh mirage]

there was someone on here who was 18c

[errant turret]

is C pure math or

[long spruce]

Math with computers basically

[fresh mirage]

cs+math

or well technically its math+cs

[errant turret]

oh ic

gotcha

[fresh mirage]

hmm whats the deal with 6-1 and 6-5 or whtv

[errant turret]

ive heard 6-1 is done

6-5 is EECS

[fresh mirage]

yeah

i remember a bunch of people were complaining

they got rid of EE and replaced with ECE p much

before it was EE and EECS

[errant turret]

!mit

damn

[placid prairie]

im doing RA but dude how do i wriet about my major in 100 words 😭

[onyx jacinth]

i wrote like 600 words the first run then removed every sentence that wasn't absolutely essential to what i wanted to get across

100 words is tough

[placid prairie]

yeah im at precisely 100 words now but it still feels unfinished 💀

[stray plume]

Guys I didnt think it was that serious

I wrote stuff down about why I liked it and then didnt read it again

[placid prairie]

😭 real tho

thats just me overthinking it dw

[onyx jacinth]

yeah that's probably the way to go ngl

sometimes i wonder if i overedited mine

[placid temple]

I was forced to write my why major for umass amherst in 100 words so I just copy pasted 💀

EM’s why major guide on his website is pretty helpful

[broken badge]

what yall think, will it come out on 14?

[long spruce]

Probably

[full lynx]

12:14 PM

[broken badge]

Hmm

Ok

What major did you guys apply

[molten mauve]

Aren’t we supposed to get an email today

[brisk spade]

About what

[placid prairie]

no you did NOT

[placid prairie]

no you did NOT

[short estuary]

Lmao

[placid prairie]

I sent this as a joke to my cousin who applied and she believed it

[trim locust]

Gonna save this for later 🤣

[icy stirrup]

Stop 💀

[keen girder]

LMAO what

mit trolling lmao

[full lynx]

wow just 1 more week until i get accepted !

[placid prairie]

real

[keen girder]

🫡

[long spruce]

We can dream

[full lynx]

we * sorry

we're all accepted already .

[untold drift]

do y'all know when decisions come out 😭

[desert oak]

um

[full lynx]

12/14 12:14PM

my prediction

[desert oak]

this is a revolutionary guess

[full lynx]

theres a chance for 3:14PM

but im betting on 12/14 12:14PM

unless they just do smth random

very possible .

[untold drift]

shii sorry boss 🙏

[placid prairie]

Pull up with the 12/12 at 548 like caltech 😍😍

[shy girder]

theyre so quirky i love them!

well, only because someone talked about caltech

[placid prairie]

Dawg leave me alone

Did you know when I visited caltech they were selling mit shirts in the store

[full lynx]

yall lets meet up on vassar street on admitted students day

outside the big field

we can play duck duck goose .

do like crimson highlights

dont dye ur hail 😭

[shy girder]

have you dyed your hair before

i havent either

you probably have to bleach first

[full lynx]

for crimson i think you could manage it

but it wouldnt last for too long

[errant turret]

did they say "because not everyone can get into caltech" on the back

they handed those out during one admitted students day at mit

[vivid tulip]

FYI there are quite a few communities on campus that would happily help dye your hair if you do get in

There's also usually a hair dye event during CPW

[full lynx]

freakmode 247

[keen girder]

erm what

[full lynx]

you heard me.

[molten mauve]

When are they sending the email 😭

[shy girder]

are you an admissions officer?

[placid prairie]

1. don’t think so 2) wtf 😭

[errant turret]

this really happened btw

lmao

mit retaliated by stealing caltech's cannon

[keen girder]

allegedly it did

[placid prairie]

😭😭

Well no one from my school has gotten into mit in 8 years but we sent a guy to caltech two years ago ☠️

[molten mauve]

Idk the last time we sent a NARP to MIT 😭

[shy girder]

you can be the first

[long spruce]

Oh yeah I remember this lol

There were a few kids wearing those last year

At the FRC comp though, not my school 💀

[fresh mirage]

someone was adMITted a few years ago but she already ED'd Cornell so...

[onyx atlas]

Who needs portal astrology when you have decision date predictions lol

I keep checking my inbox for an email announcing decision dates, the monthly email they sent out put me on such high alert

[jolly escarp]

Who here is ED or EA to MIT?

[stray plume]

Me :3

[jolly escarp]

I'm just exploring

[stray plume]

Yeah wait a damn second

[placid prairie]

Real shit

[proven reef]

thinking abt bleaching my hair if i get into mit but its already so unhealthy with split ends and shi it might kill my hair

[stark fox]

they've got hair dye at cpw

[proven reef]

omg really? like is there just some lecture hall you can go to that does it lol

[stark fox]

no it's an ec thing iirc

[proven reef]

ah i see

[stark fox]

ec being east campus

[keen girder]

btw what's the context behind this 💀

[coarse parrot]

oh i figured out when they posted the lastblog

let me download the sitemap

stonks

it has the timestamps of every blog post

[stark fox]

big stonks

that's smart vibes

[stray plume]

chersnors roping on an orpen fiiiieeeee

[coarse parrot]

ik you dont care but like the date be out from 9 am to 1pm

there is also an rss feed

https://mitadmissions.org/feed/

[stark fox]

wait that's sup[er cool

[hidden axle]

Oh yeah I hooked this up into here last year

Except people pinged me with the date before it posted the latest rss feed

Bc it only refreshed every 10 mins

[coarse parrot]

When date

Wait what time did it come out last year

[tired flax]

can i ask a math professor for a letter of rec

even if that class isn't on my high school transcript

[rocky notch]

blog post was posted at around 2 last year

not sure about the email

[coarse parrot]

Kk

[coarse parrot]

You can but class is better

[coarse parrot]

@hidden axle have u heard any thing

I’m lowkey sad

[coarse parrot]

are we cooked

mit 21st?

rip

[placid prairie]

21st is crazy

[long spruce]

Waiting till the 21st is crazy

Means I have to suffer an entire week of winter break

I would rather be rejected than have it nagging at me throughout the day

[coarse parrot]

supposedly MIT knows but we arnt worthy of knowing @long spruce

[long spruce]

Yeah I saw the reddit post 😭

[untold drift]

Wait what

Decisions coming out 21st??

[long spruce]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MITAdmissions/comments/1halrvd/mit_blog_is_not_coming_out_today/

We don't know

[long spruce]

But they almost definitely aren't coming out this week

[coarse parrot]

maybe tmmr

its him

https://www.reddit.com/r/MITAdmissions/comments/1hac8i5/comment/m19gh69/

[untold drift]

I was certain it was this Saturday 😭😭

Shits coming out Thursday 😭

Oh alr

[wise glacier]

bro why cornell

fake ivy

[untold drift]

Yeahh I might be cooked

[coarse parrot]

can someone just ask this man irl when it comes oit

[untold drift]

I might pull an Andy Bernard rn

[coarse parrot]

like go to his office and politely beg

[untold drift]

CORNELL IS AN IVY

[long spruce]

Friendship ended with MIT

Princeton is my new bestie

[molten mauve]

I’m crashing out

[wicked pond]

Me tooo

[molten mauve]

I want it early so if I get deferred I have more time with more reason to do my RD schools

[fresh mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-yelling-gif-26430508

[placid prairie]

spunkleborb

in the cube

[wicked pond]

The last time the 21th was the third Saturday they released results on the 14th soo hopefully it's the same this year

[placid prairie]

what an accurate portrayal of mit EA applicants (u guys are stuck in a cube and screaming)

[wicked pond]

ME

[hidden axle]

No

[steady terrace]

it's either 21st (or unlikely 16th)

[wicked pond]

I'm so cooked if it comes out 12/21 and I didn't get in bc I didn't do my rd schools yet 😭

Christmas break will be miserable

[steady terrace]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MITAdmissions/comments/1hac8i5/comment/m19m8fw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

the semicolon

[wicked pond]

But what does it mean 😭

[steady terrace]

he replied to someone saying 12/16

[wicked pond]

Yeah is jover 😞

Have they every released it on the 21st? I've seen the 14th but not 21st. And I don't think they'd break the Saturday tradition

[hidden axle]

I literally guessed the 21st and everyone yelled at me to change it to the 14th

Smh

[coarse parrot]

boooo

im just mad because the last day my school sends transcripts before the break is the 18th

so if its past that day i need to pay a bunch more app fees

[stark fox]

rip

21st?

[fresh mirage]

cant they just upload transcripts on commonapp 💀

dont think i sent a single transcript

[coarse parrot]

we dont use common app

like i obviously use it

but like the school doesnt

[fresh mirage]

bruh

[coarse parrot]

all through scoir

yeah

big brih

so its sent electronically but its still annoying

[wicked pond]

$75 for a rejection letter is crazy 😞

[woeful coral]

hey for the MIT maker video

Ik its different this year

do they not ask for 2 minute videos anymore?

Media uploader
After the questionnaire and project form(s) are completed, you may submit up to 20 media attachments to illuminate your chosen featured projects and your portfolio overall. The media you upload should provide clarity on relevant goals, issues, setbacks, learnings, and decisions. Remember, we want to know about your problem-solving process and motivations—not just your visible end result.

With each attachment, include a short description.
Credit any collaborators.
For any project with moving parts, please include a video demonstration.

It just says please include a video demo

so I dont make a 2 minute video like others? or can I>

[coarse parrot]

its differ but i still made a video

[woeful coral]

oh alright, I mean my project is a moving part, so I can just showcase the final product and how it works?

or should I make a 2 minute video like others

like is it worth the effort to make a 2 minute video

or do I just sumbit photos - cad designs, working on the go kart, other photos and stuff? and the final product

[molten mauve]

Nah we don’t know her

Yet*

The semicolon is the 14th punctuation in the excerpt

[onyx jacinth]

that's what i did

i only included process photos and a final demo in the media attachments

[woeful coral]

that seems more worth it and time saved lmfao

[onyx jacinth]

from the wording of the maker portfolio stuff that seems to be what they wanted

[rocky notch]

I thought that it would be on the 21st after the blog post didn't come out, but now I feel like they're making it too mysterious for it to just be a week later

[woeful coral]

no advantage with any of them right?

[onyx jacinth]

or at least it wouldn't hurt you doing it that way

[woeful coral]

alright thats all i care about, thats much better and less work, so for the process, some of the photos I have to explain, do we have a option for that or we just sumbit photos with ntohing explained

[onyx jacinth]

for each of the 20 available media attachments there's a place for a caption/title as well as an additional description box

[woeful coral]

perfect

thank you so much

damm i wasted time with the video

[woeful coral]

do you guys know if any other college wants a maker portoflio or just asks if u want to?

top colleges?

[untold drift]

pretty sure columbia does..?

[normal stag]

that might be looking into it way too deeply though ngl

[molten mauve]

gahhhhwhhahahah

Crashing out

[stray plume]

:’)

[fresh mirage]

if you're looking for clues in punctuation, you're lost in the sauce

[stark fox]

i didn't do a 2 minute maker portfolio last year iether

[waxen cloak]

I did one bc I din't have insane stats

[stark fox]

hmmm to apply or not to

[idle pumice]

neither

nope

correct

[idle pumice]

getting luigi mangioni’d by an applicant who was mad we hadn’t announced decisions release yet

[icy stirrup]

Rly😭

[hidden axle]

It’s wraps

Everyone is changing their patterns this year

[proven reef]

me when the unpredictable nature of admissions doesn’t align with my headcanon

[idle pumice]

Can you not hear the rhythms of the cosmic egg?

[hidden axle]

Just be like the NEU kids who prepare for their decision every day because they don’t get an announcement

I feel bad for them bc there is always a week or two each year a group will sit in the thread counting until 7pm ET in hopes maybe this will be the day they come out!

[proven reef]

😭

it’s like the surprise execution paradox

[stark fox]

this is crazy-

[rocky notch]

nothing is real anymore 😭

what is going on

[coarse parrot]

That’s not what I meant I was joking

[waxen cloak]

Bro woke up at 5am and decided to terrorize children

😭

[coarse parrot]

Am I cooked

[coarse parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/knee-surgery-meme-grinch-blue-grinch-that-feeling-when-gif-11244637289834073788

[placid prairie]

Oh

[idle pumice]

sigma grindset

in previous years applicants didn’t freak out this much

[nocturne sable]

Funny lol

Every cycle is always weird in one way or the other

[coarse parrot]

We have all become too delusional

I feel like we are feeding off of each others energy

[nocturne sable]

So no word from MIT

This is acc weird

[coarse parrot]

Lmao calm down

[nocturne sable]

They may throw in a surprisde update

[coarse parrot]

Did you not see what Petey said

[nocturne sable]

What

[coarse parrot]

#1268141479440683019 message

[nocturne sable]

'MIT? '29' is so cute lol, I hope you get in @coarse parrot

[nocturne sable]

Oh

[coarse parrot]

Sorry I thought u were trolling too

[nocturne sable]

Oh no

They notified Questbridge applicants though

So anytime soon

Prolly not this week tho

[idle pumice]

ya it's very noticeable and i wish i could give you all a lobotomy 💖

[idle pumice]

check the blogs later today

[coarse parrot]

I do feel like the process feels a lot more human now though

[idle pumice]

normally i am much more active on here, a2c, cc, blogs throughout the fall to try to help w/ that but it's been an insane fall personally and professionally

so i haven't been just yapping here as much as i historically do (hi @hidden axle)

but i have been telling applicants in some words or another they need a lobotomy since at least 2010

so it's not just you all

[coarse parrot]

I feel like after submitting I realized that the self reflective part of the essays was nice

But 99% of this whole college process has been hindsight

[idle pumice]

that's good

it turns out most of life is figuring it out as you go through it

so as long as y'all are getting something from that, great

back to cmte i will return to terrorize more later

[coarse parrot]

For when you come back, do you have any funny committee moments if you can share them

[waxen cloak]

Too much TikTok brain rot smh

[proven reef]

the whole college application process made me realize i should look back and reflect a bit more often

[random grotto]

I added 90s music to my maker portfolio video 😅

[ashen zenith]

if petey is still in commitee, that must mean the decisions aren't nearly complete - release is probably next week

[waxen cloak]

Stop panicking

Get a lobotomy

[sharp stag]

I added (a tiny snippet) of my own music to my maker portfolio :3

[modest escarp]

!mit

[waxen cloak]

Personally, I feel like ever year it gets harder and harder, and greater and greater expectation to get into a good school. I feel like the pressure from this kinda psyches us out and create this toxic mentality

[sharp stag]

nah it's the illusion of control when it's all just a dice roll

imo

and the whole decision date thing is another dice roll

[waxen cloak]

It hasn't been a great experience for me mentally

[sharp stag]

esp for people who are trying to cheese eds

[sharp stag]

yeah I think it's the expectations combined with the lack of control

but at some point u have to realize that u tried ur best

and the results are what they are

[waxen cloak]

Yea Fair

Recently I've been kinda tormenting myself for applying cs

[sharp stag]

you don't like cs?

yes you do

[waxen cloak]

I love cs

But like

[sharp stag]

what else would you apply then

[waxen cloak]

It feels so fucking awful that I'm essentially being punished for applying for what I love

At all these other schools

[sharp stag]

you aren't being punished

the acceptance rate is lower because it's more competitive

but there's also so many schools

ur bound to get into a safety

[errant turret]

my video is so cooked

[waxen cloak]

Yea which low-key feels like I'm getting punished

[errant turret]

i spent like 20 minutes editing

the actual stuff is p cool tho im ngl

[waxen cloak]

I e always wondered what would've happened if I applied as physics and sold out to cs during uni

And if I would end up in a better place

[sharp stag]

I spent 0 minutes editing 💀 I filmed the videos final day with just a screen recording and me talking

[errant turret]

😭 i just used a bunch of footage and tried coming up with some quirky

but it was so bad

ahhh

[sharp stag]

I don't really get it

punished by the other cs applicants?

[waxen cloak]

It's just lower acceptance

So like I feel I'm disadvantaged for applying cs

[nocturne sable]

No you're not @waxen cloak

[sharp stag]

I feel like I'm advantaged for applying cs

I get to study smth I enjoy

[waxen cloak]

No but like

[waxen cloak]

Here

[sharp stag]

thats pretty morally questionable tbh

[waxen cloak]

All of college apps are morally questionable tho

Like idk

Yea I agree it's morally questionable

That's why I'm applying cs

This was more of a what if question

[waxen cloak]

Statistically speaking I'm worse off applying to cs than other majors

[nocturne sable]

Like we don't know the quality of applicants for other majors so you can't say that

[random grotto]

What major did yall apply for? (Am I allowed to ask this or community guidelines?)

[nocturne sable]

Community Guidelines

[waxen cloak]

I mean from what I know

A bunch of anecdotes

Idk I'm not very coherent rn

Just frustrated

[sharp stag]

meaning that cs major is the best major 🥱

supply and demand

[waxen cloak]

Nah but low-key it feels shitty

Bc I'm not a camper

Smh

[sharp stag]

realistically ur getting into college and if you dont, take a gap year and you get in

[nocturne sable]

@sharp stag gets it

[sharp stag]

I'm applying to multiple targets/safeties and I'm lowk happy with any of them

[waxen cloak]

I don't even know what a target is anymore

[sharp stag]

Purdue has the sickest music production club ive seen in my research

[waxen cloak]

Is gt a target

[sharp stag]

and umd has cool ppl

[idle pumice]

correct

[sharp stag]

Purdue and uiuc*

[waxen cloak]

Uiuc is a target?

[sharp stag]

no

Purdue is

[waxen cloak]

[sharp stag]

I added uiuc cuz It has a good music production club and music+cs program

[idle pumice]

(no one ever believes this but we are always in cmte until at earliest the day before we release, and often the day of)

[waxen cloak]

Huh

[sharp stag]

do y'all pull all nighters ??

[waxen cloak]

Clearly

My man woke up at 5

[sharp stag]

that's so much effort damn

admirable

as a 9-10 hr avg sleeper, can't imagine 😭

[waxen cloak]

How many people are in the committee?

Is it like a big round table lol

[sharp stag]

that would be so funny

like in the movies

[waxen cloak]

King Arthur's table

[waxen cloak]

How does it work?

[ashen zenith]

wait so you mean the decision could very well change hours before release?

[errant turret]

petey u should do a livestream of the admissions room

we would all watch

[idle pumice]

i woke up at 4 i began posting at 5

[idle pumice]

in principle yes

[idle pumice]

no

[idle pumice]

there's several different committees at different phases

[sharp stag]

damn I was wondering why your reddit posts were at midnight PST

[errant turret]

:(

[waxen cloak]

Dedicated shitposter

[errant turret]

LOL

petey do u take bribes

[ashen zenith]

another question: how large is the commitee? is full commitee all the AOs or do you have multiple smaller commitee in parallel?

ik some school have 50 person commitee, while others have like 5 ppl (but multiple in parallel)

[idle pumice]

no

[wise glacier]

Please accept me Petey 🙏

[idle pumice]

mostly the latter

[errant turret]

+1

[sharp stag]

no /j

[wise glacier]

Instead of monetary bribes I will give you gratitude

[errant turret]

im deadass about to crash out

[wise glacier]

You'll feel better if you accept me I promise

[errant turret]

+1

[ashen zenith]

i see - additionally, is there a commitee specifically for international students, or are they read by the same commitee as the domestic students (b/c i'm wondering for intl students attending school in the us, wouldn't their inital read be from a domestic AO, rather than the intl AO assigned to their citizenship country)

[waxen cloak]

maybe this is the reason why he doesn't post anymore

💀

[wise glacier]

(he doesn't even know who I am 💀)

I'll be grateful for my MIT decision no matter what it is ||(unless I get deferred 😢)||

[errant turret]

same!

ive accepted my fate

[wise glacier]

You must be MIT and I must be your fate then!

[waxen cloak]

Maybe only the top tier shitposters make it into mit

[ashen zenith]

my understanding is your regional AO is supposed to advoacte for you right?

so i imagine they debate the students and whether to accept

[wise glacier]

No guys they make voodoo dolls of the applicants

And make them fight each other

[errant turret]

able to mask my incompetence

and my npc-ness

[errant turret]

W idea

maybe next year they should start having us fight in person

[waxen cloak]

I think all waitlisted people should joust for a spot

LMAO

[errant turret]

😭

[waxen cloak]

Can you send a screenshot of the article

[errant turret]

maybe we should stop shitposting in a thread with

[wise glacier]

I think it should be like the hunger games

[errant turret]

the mit AO

😭

[wise glacier]

But you can choose which college to fight for

[errant turret]

we're all deadass

doxxed

[wise glacier]

So a person can only fight for one college

What's the rejection rate for EA

[errant turret]

[waxen cloak]

Yea

[errant turret]

we're all getting deferred lfg

So I have a 35% chance of being grateful

Guys you know what would be funny

EA releases just after my last final 👀

[crude flare]

I can't work on essays and exams at the same time, way too much haha

[vivid tulip]

I can see y'all decisions come out :3

[errant turret]

it's right before my last final

😭

if i don't get in

i dont think i can even focus

cuz it's like 1 hour before

[crude flare]

F

It's going to be okay
(but even then, I'd recommend waiting to see your decision after the final)

[errant turret]

Tuesday lineup rn

Thursday is bad tho

Actually Friday too

[rocky notch]

wait what is thursday

isn't that just princeton REA?

[rocky notch]

also MIT is 6:28 and not 3:28

oh god

[hidden axle]

It converts

To my time zone

Which is pacific

[rocky notch]

oh ok my bad

oh goodness thursday is bad

[rocky notch]

all at around the same time too 😭

w h a t

it's a conspiracy

[hidden axle]

We’ve had worse

This was all one day

Notice how I keep having finals during major decision days

It’s very fun for me!

No bc they ping me anyways 💀

Some of you ping me for the most random shit ngl

One a2cer kid used to dm me misinformation about Ed Sheeran on a regular basis

[wise glacier]

no we don't

the joke was that i pinged her when replying to her

[errant turret]

i get yale the same day my friend gets mit

fun

[hidden axle]

This was the guy

I got like 10 of these

[hidden axle]

Yeah like an hour and a half apart rip

[coarse parrot]

@idle pumice thank you for releasing the date!

[nocturne sable]

It was @hidden axle that released the date

[hidden axle]

Yeah I marched up to the office and demanded they release it

[nocturne sable]

Lol, bet

[placid prairie]

@sour path bro picked the most random time to release decisions

Trying to be caltech fr

You’re so cutesie with your 6:28 pm (same energy as 5:48 pm)

Well you said you’d release them when you felt like it.

[sullen shadow]

its 2pi

[waxen cloak]

Tau

[proven reef]

i love tau

[placid prairie]

Ain’t no way ☠️

Well then what about the 12/17

[waxen cloak]

Idk

[sullen shadow]

tau is 2pi, t=time

[nocturne sable]

No cap lol
MIT been copying them moves

[placid prairie]

Ah unfortunate

[sullen shadow]

when formatted dd/mm, 17/12 is a very close approximant to the square root of 2

[nocturne sable]

That

Crazy fr

Are people deffered normally that high?

[nocturne sable]

Cuz based on reaction vids, there's nothing more predicatable than a Vanderbilt Waitlist and an MIT EA defferal

[placid prairie]

Maybe they were just honoring the Spider-Man NWH release date 😔😔

[idle pumice]

wow giving me credit for something ceri posted?? misogyny much??

[coarse parrot]

huh

oh

i didnt read who posted it lol 😦

[coarse parrot]

i aspire to reach this level of troll someday

[sullen shadow]

petey the goat

the juxtaposition of you all stressing and petey just being a chill guy is very amusing from an outsiders perspective

theres a special containment bubble for you

[idle pumice]

i will never honor that movie for

1. not using the tube props they asked for and that we sent them

2. making the admissions date/timeline all wrong

3. admitting the idiot one

4. suggesting we would not admit spiderman because he spent too much time climbing on roofs (???)

5. creating some weird standin where peter intervenes with the dean's boss on the bridge when stu is from queens and could have done a cameo

f grade. f

[sullen shadow]

a purgatory, of sorts

[coarse parrot]

all of this trolling is has made me want to meet you tbh

are you the office troll

[idle pumice]

don't put the furries in cages. they like it too much

[coarse parrot]

the big questions i now have

[coarse parrot]

damm

[sullen shadow]

is there an MIT kennel club

[blazing hamlet]

(University of Toronto moment)

[wise glacier]

petey how do you feel about the fact that the uhc shooter was a cs major?

how will this impact the view of cs majors?

[coarse parrot]

maybe they will get rights again

[idle pumice]

idk man our school's criminal was sbf but he just did math crime even though we're the people with the pirate's license

i'm as confused as anyone else

"furina"

anime pfp

Furina I hope you start the furry club at mit

[waxen cloak]

Even worse

He's a pesophile

😔

[coarse parrot]

@idle pumice did @sour path talk about being a furry in their application? 🤣

[wise glacier]

furina drop the application reference number

so that he can check

[waxen cloak]

Somewhere in [0, infinity)

[coarse parrot]

is the chance of me getting in?

[waxen cloak]

Nah

[proven reef]

my application reference number is a complex number, which evinces the nuanced tapestry of interdisciplinary mathematical character evident in my application

[waxen cloak]

But u are

How expensive is cpw

Idk if I could fund it tbh

[shy girder]

What will u do the day of btwn school and release time

[waxen cloak]

I will crash and burn

[shy girder]

I think just travel expenses

[long spruce]

Oh ok

I'm chilling then

[shy girder]

Idk where ur coming in from but for me i can get there by train

It's like a $300 ticket

It depends but you can get travel expenses reimbursed if it poses a financial challenge

[waxen cloak]

Oats do you go to mit

[ashen zenith]

@idle pumice can you share a bit more on how mit's commitee voting scheme works? i'm intersted after listening to yale's admissions podcast. is it a simple majority that leads to an admit? roughly how many ppl looks at the application before an admit, etc...

[stray plume]

Oh yeah thats a good question

If you have twenty people you all love, how do you eventually narrow it down to pick that one person who gets in?

[proven reef]

do y’all have a roulette wheel installed in the admissions office for situations like these

[keen girder]

what's the deal behind the mit "app set on fire" email

was it just a joke

[stark fox]

i think i need a lobotomy

[long spruce]

My parents actually believed it lol

[keen girder]

yea whats the context

its a joke right

[stark fox]

wait did they actually send that

that's fire

[keen girder]

yea

[stray plume]

Ye joke lol

[stark fox]

[keen girder]

quite literally

[stark fox]

lmao

i sent an email to [email protected] and have gotten automail responses twice and gotten ghosted twice

[long spruce]

Rip

[stark fox]

sounds like admissions team is busy tho so i don't blame them

[long spruce]

Yeah

[stark fox]

it'd be so cool if they sent a video with a bunch of applications on fire

environmentally irresponsible though

[proven reef]

what if they composted them instead

[stray plume]

When I grow up Im gonna join mit admissions team

And then Im gonna sneak onto these servers on an alt account pretending to be a fellow senior applying

I will learn names and add to the files

[sharp stag]

what's this furry slander

[wise glacier]

wait what

i didn tget one

are yall trolling

[long spruce]

Ok hear me out

A silver tube would make a pretty fantastic present underneath the Christmas tree

[wise glacier]

yk what would be a fantastic present?

an mit acceptance letter

[long spruce]

This is true

a large part of why i want to get into mit is because i wont have to grind for rd

i respect it

[wise glacier]

i want to get into poetry

[long spruce]

[sullen shadow]

we need to bring back pondering

[long spruce]

I'm off to ponder my orb

[shy girder]

I wake up at 4:30 every morning to ponder!

[sharp stag]

I want mit ea so I don't have to finish rds and I can go to Taiwan for vacation this winter break

oh well

I'm going skiing with friends on the 21st either way so I'm not gonna be holed up in my home even if I get rejected

[stray plume]

Comes out the 17th at least so

[sharp stag]

bruh the ski trip is gonna be so awk

everyone there is mit ea lmaoo

[shy girder]

Why

Oh

Damn 😭

[sharp stag]

no why

just happens to be so

like what am I gonna do when I'm the only one rejected

😭😭

[long spruce]

Yeah you're cracked

[sharp stag]

wait my intention was not to beg for solace lol

I meant to just

imply like

the worst case would be so fucking awkward

[long spruce]

Yeah I could definitely see it haha

This is why I'm just going to ignore the decision

I'll get a cylinder if I get in

[sharp stag]

I'm supposed to try to have fun with friends 3 days after the decision 😭

best case scenario we all get in and it would be fun that way

but any other case would be awk asf

[long spruce]

That would be pretty sick if you all got in lol

you scrolled up all the way to this morning to trash talk a random applying to a college you dont even go to 😂

[deep kelp]

i searched "best major" and that popped up

[stray plume]

spread love not hate 🔥

[hidden axle]

That’s what they all say until decisions come out

Then we get filled with “I got rejected from [school]. Was I yield protected?”

[stray plume]

Ignorance is bliss. I dont know what yield protection is :)

[hidden axle]

I’ve seen claims from aos (albeit quite old claims) it’s a thing just not in the way a2cers like the claim

A2Cers like to think yield protection is when they reject you solely based on stats bc you’re way above the school

[stray plume]

😂 whatt

[hidden axle]

From what I found while stats can play a part but you’re still gonna get in if you show interest

[stray plume]

nah that wont happen from MIT though

[hidden axle]

So this only applies to schools that care abt demonstrated interest

Yeah it won’t lol

I am making a general statement abt the positivity thing

[stray plume]

spread love until mit rejects you ❤️

[proven reef]

i’m a professional when it comes to spreading hate💔

[stray plume]

professional hater here

[proven reef]

dang i didn’t know that, interesting

[hidden axle]

Yeah the issue is the vast majority of a2cers don’t show interest in their safeties

They don’t open emails or attend webinars and whatnot

So when they’re rejected they’re all like 🤯 when it wasn’t that hard for it to happen

[proven reef]

literally me

[stray plume]

my safeties have already accepted me atp so im just waiting to hear back from scarier schools

i should probably go ahead and deny a few though lol

[hidden axle]

If your safeties don’t consider interest then doesn’t matter

But there are some schools that heavily do

IIRC there was a thing a while back where case western would try to withdraw your app if you unsubscribed from their mailing list

[stray plume]

LMFAO?

[hidden axle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/ILpfdMmQlL
