At this point most decisions have been made huh

#

i can only see one way to get ur decision earlier

#

assuming that decision letters are mailed a few hours before the electronic release

#

you would have to intercept a USPS facility in cambridge if you are domestic (no chance for internationals here)

#

and you might get a head start of a few hours to your results, coupled with a felony charge

glacial lion
#

a pilgrimage to the monasteries of Mount Athos to get some insight it is

#

At least MIT's rejection letter is longer than a line

#

I just wish my FRC regional did not overlap with pi day

#

I'm probably going to be staying awake to view the decision which is around 2 am

Bro MIT is too small for me to stay on campus all the time

#

You gon find me everywhere in Boston

#

Harvard, NEU, Tufts, BU, BC

glacial lion
#

the city aint big enough for me

#

That's real lol

#

The campus was smaller than I thought it might be

#

But I also love how it's seamlessly integrated into Cambridge

little sequoia
#

Yeah

#

i guess you assume the gases are being released through a small hole

#

but anyway the gases are moving through the room at different rates and those rates are inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass

#

wait is the release time the same for everyone?

#

or is it region wise

#

like

#

Yes

Think is the same

#

MIT is a private university, so they're not fully funded by the state, but I did have the idea it was still a pretty significant source of income

crude flare
wraith cairn
#

public funding impacts research

#

mit's endowment is what controls financial aid

#

also mit doesn't have merit scholarships

#

its all need-based

#

you're thinking really deeply about something that hasn't happened yet and will not impact mit on the scale you think it will

crude flare
#

Yeah, fair - I was just worried because I had the idea a good chunk of MIT's endowment was public funding

#

I'm not from the US, so I don't really have an in depth understanding or anything
I was just worried about, say, getting into a college but then not being able to pay for it out of a sudden

I'm applying cs, but it's a really underrepresented part of the field, I guess? Not sure if that makes a difference
(At least it's something I genuinely enjoy)

OS/bootloader development

oh cool

(Low-level programming in general pretty much, I've messed with arduinos a few times before and that background definitely made it feel somewhat familiar)

fresh mirage

im more interested in programming language design and cxns to math/linguistics

#

That's super cool too tbh

fresh mirage
#

but i think lately ive become more interested in urban science and transit planning

wooden stag
#

🪦🧎🏻‍♂️

fresh mirage
#

so i ended up applying for urban science + CS at MIT

fresh mirage
crude flare
#

Not yet, but I'm only applying to a few top universities in the US

#

(I'm an international, so if I don't get in I still have the option to apply to unis in my home country, so it's not a big deal)

hopefully they can use some more asians in stem 😹😹😹😹

# sour path on skibidi

on skibid we need more chemical process engineers that create a new miracle material that ends up being cancerous 30 years later

#

This is weird but part of me wants to be rejected at this point. I don't really regret applying but as much as MIT has been my dream since I started thinking about college I know it would be so much more life changing for others (ie I am fortunate enough to be able to afford college if MIT rejects but I know for some their generous aid would make a huge difference for if they can go to college at all) so lowkey I would feel kidna bad getting in over someone else... and I'm getting pretty excited about my state school!

crude flare
# little sequoia yeah but that's ecs not your major

I know, what I am saying is that - even if major isn't taken into account, if there's an oversupply of CS majors, that generally indicates there's going to be an oversupply of CS-related activities, for example
I'm pretty sure they factor that into your app

Yeah but my stats and ecs are garbage so I knew i would be rejected and then i didnt rly know how to react so i just didnt

especially my 2nd best friend who got rejected from columbia and did ED2 to uchicago, and i was like 2 rejections piled up before exams is not helpful

I was trying to find a screenshot of something, and I found an entire wiki page on the platform AOs use to review applications
I don't feel like this should be public?? But it is, for some reason

twin sedge
#

whats the platform

crude flare
twin sedge
#

every college uses the same portal software

crude flare
#

Nothing sensitive, it's basically just "hey here's how Slate works, here's a few tips, here's the bins we separate stuff into"
But even then, this really feels like it's for internal use I don't think this is supposed to be public, wth

crude flare
twin sedge
#

probably not too sensitive then 👍

wraith cairn
tired sparrow
#

isnt slate js used to classify applicant info and make it easier for aos to evaluate an applicant

crude flare
#

I guess? But even then it has screenshots of the internal app they use which definitely doesn't seem right

wraith cairn
#

i promise you its not that deep lmao

tired sparrow
#

yea i rlly dont think it is, its js a platform

#

it doesnt tell u how aos evaluate an applicant

#

it doesnt tell u what they look for

#

etc

#

or, as far as i know

crude flare
#

Except it does kinda tell you what they look for in some cases (there are guidelines on how to deal with certain situations)
Nothing sensitive at all, but it totally feels like an internal document, this is 100% not directed towards people other than admissions officers

tired sparrow
#

wdym

fresh mirage
#

js so yall know the thing river is talking about is for grad admissions and seems to also be a bit focused at grad students

crude flare
#

Yeah, it's for grad, i was just confused lmao

tired sparrow
#

i think even then it doesnt rlly matter

#

at the end of the day, the info the aos see is (primarily) the info on ur app

fresh mirage
#

true, this has little to do with undergrad admissions

crude flare

Even then this is probably something that needs to be fixed

dude its slate its a platform used by almost every college. if they wanted it to be private they would have posted it privately

#

its never that deep

crude flare
wraith cairn
#

if you didnt look further than that then how do you know youre even able to view those documents lol

crude flare
#

Because there's links to dropbox and google drive files lol

wraith cairn
#

its literally the first search result\

#

theyre training documents

#

not confidential ones

#

i promise you it is not that deep man

#

its MIT. if they wanted it to be private they would make it private.

The MIT wiki pages have some interesting information on their admissions proces...

#

Apparently they have a rating system from 1-7 for applicants

wraith cairn
#

most holistic review schools do

#

not 1-7 specifically but some numerical ranking

crude flare
#

Oh god is it really that easy to find

spiral trail
#

Here's an excerpt from their training

crude flare
#

I tried to avoid giving out any specific details and people still managed to find it dgfsjhdsgfsf

crude flare
#

If those are internal documents you are fucked

spiral trail
#

ok

#

They're on a public google drive link 💀

wraith cairn
#

its not that deep

#

its literally a wiki

spiral trail
#

Also the wiki page says use by members of the non-mit community is fine

#

For the general MIT wiki service

#

Welcome to the MIT Wiki Service. This service is available to MIT groups, projects, and classes. Participation by non-MIT users is allowed.

crude flare
#

Sure, but there are some pages that are supposed to be restricted from what i can tell

wraith cairn
#

MIT = Massachusetts Institute of Technology

#

if they wanted it to be restricted they can easily restrict it

spiral trail
#

We score students from 1-7. The rankings are: 7 top 1%, 6 Top 5%, 5 Top 10%, 4 Top 25%, 3 Middle 50%, 2 Bottom 25%, 1 Weak.
[...] for every 20 applications you read, you should be singling out ~2 with grades of 5,6,7.
Please be disciminating in round 1 so that we devote second read efforts to the students who are among the best. Also note that students with scores of 3 or lower will likely not receive a second look.

Interesting

#

Hopefully I got first place (1) in all categories 🥰

spiral trail
#

Alongside the numerical ranking there is also an "enthusiasm rating"

#

Exceptionally high, must admit!!!
Very good, would like to admit!
Good; could consider them
Neutral or low

long spruce
#

I appreciate the extra exclamation marks

spiral trail
#

It asks for specific comments on GPA/Courses and course rigor, reference letters, and essays; they didnt scroll down all the way so there's more

#

Wasnt that literal hacking though

#

And they didnt just find internal docs

#

they found their own entry in the student db

crude flare
#

Yeah fair it's just

spiral trail
#

All of this is very low-impact training docs

crude flare
#

I mean idk if I want to mess with that lmao

wraith cairn
#

people from harvard were hacking into slideroom

#

you are drastically misunderstanding that situation

merry stirrup
#

who pinged

wraith cairn
#

training documents are often public because they dont contain any confidential information and give people a better idea of how they review applications

#

it is not that deep

#

especially since you cant even tell who views public google docs unless they request editing access

spiral trail
#

Plus

#

As I read through this more Im realizing this was for graduate applications all along

#

There's probably some overlap with undergrad

#

But idk

hs senior found a link on the publically-available mit wiki that linked to a publically-viewable google drive folder with training documents for graduate admissions that listed basically nothing that is not already known and then started crashing out about other people finding it and getting their admissions rescinded like people from harvard did when they literally hacked into slideroom

also i love my compsci minor and i would have minored in math if i had the space in my degree plan but i cant

wraith cairn
#

i love where i am but theres a little nagging voice thats like "you could have studied chaos theory ggrrrrrr👹 " every time i think about it

wicked pond
#

Yeah, he dug his own grave but I've tried to stop interacting when he's trolling and not bringing him up because once you think everyone sees you a certain way it can be hard to not act that way

wraith cairn
#

in another life i would want to be a mathematician but

stark fox
#

he's such a complex situation

wraith cairn
#

maybe if i come upon a large sum of money and can afford to totally pivot careers later in life

stark fox
#

oh hi!

forest perch
#

oh wait

#

sorry i didn't mean talking about them

#

i meant ignoring them

#

like disengaging

stark fox
#

but everyone like, talks and makes fun of them

forest perch
#

i think some things are a bit rude

stark fox
#

and like yes they earned themself their reputation but

#

im sure the way people treat them doesn't help anything

forest perch
#

but also how do you tell someone that they're not catching social cues at all

stark fox
#

idk

wicked pond
forest perch
#

i think it's like, yeah they're v much like a kid but also we don't need to actively hate bc that just seems to feed him

wicked pond
#

So I'm trying to be nice so he doesn't feel like everyone in the server hates him. I want him to have friends an stuff and he's obviously well accomplished if he made it this far

stark fox
#

i wouldn't want to be in his situation

forest perch
#

yeah i think a lot of the things he says are just Really Hard to interact with

stark fox
#

yah

#

i hope he can escape the reputation he's built

wicked pond
#

Yeah that's why I think if he really wants to he can turn it around next week

broken star

can someone send me the link to the MIT discord I wanna see what happened

broken star

no

oh wait

Also you might want to start recognizing that you are amazing wether you get in or not. Please don't be to hard on yourself when the time comes (but you're gonna get in so no worries). I waited till the day of to try to convince myself my life wasn't over if I didn't get in lol
