Mediocre though we may be, this is mediocrity we've been working toward, either directly or indirectly, for quite a while. If we can't stop every now and then, looking back with some self-congratulations, what's left?
Stay good, people, stay good. Let there be rainbows and sunshine and rain and happiness for a while. Deferred, not admitted, accepted, whatever--it's been a long hard slog, and we're on the other side of it.
Though it's been said many times, many ways, um. Keep trying? Cynicism's a twistedly fun, but terrible cover.

@Reena - you don't have to take a HASS first semester, you just have to take 8 by the time you graduate... it's very rare not to take one freshman fall (and it disqualifies you from sophomore standing, if you wanted that) - but there are people who take 4 science subjects their first semester, there's no rule against it.

For every accepted student, there's eight more who aren't. The students that aren't are all academically and socially as well qualified as you. At this level of competition it's almost like trying to find the best water bottle in a Poland Spring case. And every single last water bottle has a unsatiable infatuation with MIT... doesn't seem fair.
I'm promising myself that I won't get caught up over getting in.

Posted by: Kathryn '13 on December 16, 2008
@Meeeee: I'm betting you've probably heard this before, but the people who say you got in because you're a minority or a woman are just jealous losers. You got in because you were awesome, which is why any of us got in. If you weren't awesome, you wouldn't be here. (I'm black too, and I had to put up with comments about affirmative action all through high school. Luckily, I'm in South America now, so I don't get it anymore.)
I've been wondering, How does one go about becoming an admissions blogger? Is there an application process, or what? If so, when is it?
Posted by: Jacob '13 on December 16, 2008
Can we (13's... well, some of us, anyway) nominate Timur to be a blogger?
Gotta hand it to him, that water bottle thing was clever. Though, yeah, I'm not sure we're all academically and socially any more qualified than those who got deferred, it was still a good analogy.
@ Blake
Yeah, I still have an all-nighter to pull over The Pointless tonight. *sigh*
But now there's the next four years to look forward to!! I keep having to check the decisions page to convince myself that it's true.

Posted by: Suman Barua on December 17, 2008
It appears that there's still time to apply for both Army and Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships. These scholarships
>> pay full tuition and fees,
>> provide books and supplies or an allowance therefor, and
>> pay a monthly tax-free subsistence allowance during both spring and fall academic semesters.
The deadlines for applications for these scholarships appear to be at the end of this month (December) for the ROTC (Army) Program and at the end of January for the NROTC (Navy and Marine Corps) program.
Here's the fine print to qualify for these scholarships.
>> 1. You must be a citizen of the United States of America.
>> 2. You must meet the medical requirements of the service that you choose. (Each service sets its own medical standards, some of which may be waiverable.)
>> 3. You must agree to accept a commission as an officer in the respective service and to serve at least four years of regular active duty after graduation.
These scholarships are competitive, but I have never heard of a student at the Institute who met these requirements and did not receive it.
The Air Force has a similar program, called Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC), but unfortunately the deadline for application (01 December) has passed.
I'm sure that some of you might be put off by the thought of deferring either graduate school or the start of your working career for four years after you earn your first degree, but the other reality is that many prospective employers value the experience of that service very highly. The armed forces remain one of the largest sources of funding for R&D in the United States, so first-hand experience with their operations is a clear asset when working with them.
In any case, it's YOUR choice whether to go this route or not.
Norm.
Posted by: EC Norm on December 17, 2008
What am I thinking? to speculate about why any of us got in is like trying to reduce our existence to a number (are you out of 36 or 2400?).
I'm glad MIT knows I'm a human being and by accepting me they are also reminding everyone else of it too.
Enough ranting...
When do we get our tubes anyways?
I can't wait!
Congrats to everyone!
Posted by: Carlos Garay on December 17, 2008

Carlos, I think our tubes have been mailed, so it depends on your distance from MIT ^.^ If mine doesn't show up tomorrow (or today, mail hasn't come), I actually won't get it until Dec. 30, because of vacation XD
And yes, while my "stats" are very good, the reason I think I got in over someone with better "stats" (except rank. I have a higher rank than him but lower SAT scores, except in math) at my school is from my essays and extracurriculars. I believe I successfully portrayed myself as someone "suited" to MIT in personality, rather than just an object that MIT would enjoy having around.

They didn't probably even have to bother mailing it; they probably just stood on top of the dome and threw it.
And anon and others - I agree that what Narce said was immature and disrespectful. But seriously, I am SO excited to spend the next 4 years with you guys. Can we agree that what Narce said was just a stupid thing that he probably didn't mean anyway and just move on? It would really be a bummer to arrive on campus in September with people already disliking each other
Congrats again everyone!

[edited by moderator. Please refrain from hatred of people on the blogs. Keep it civil!]
I'm sorry that I missed the original. I would prefer to have been able to address your comments directly. Alas, I have only another poster's quote of you saying that you "hate our military ever so much" -- which admittedly might be somewhat out of context, though several other replies certainly indicate that this portion of the quote captures the jist of the deletion.
For better or worse, the community on campus at the Institute is very diverse. There are people of every race who come from many nations and ethnic backgrounds and who adhere to just about every religion on the face of the planet. If you go into the Chaplains' Office, you'll find a Buddhist monk working alongside a Jewish Rabbi, a Catholic presbyter, several Protestant ministers, and chaplains of several other faiths. If you go to the Kosher Kitchen, you'll see orthodox Jewish and Moslem students taking meals together because that is the only dining facility on campus that serves meals that conform to the dietary requirements of both groups. And if you walk into classes and living groups, you'll encounter some members of the armed forces who are currently assigned as students and faculty at the Institute.
Now, I don't know what is behind your sense of hatred toward members of the armed forces, and I also don't know toward what other groups you might harbor hatred. Nonetheless, rubbing elbows with members of the armed forces is a fact of life on campus. Now...
>> If your hatred is motivated by not knowing anybody who has served or is serving, perhaps meeting a few of these folks will change your opinion.
>> If your hatred is motivated by your political, religious, or other beliefs, it will become a source of major problems for you.
I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I would urge you, and anybody else who harbors hatred toward any subset of our society, to give some consideration as to how you will deal with those for whom you harbor hatred before you accept the Institute's offer of admission. If your instinct is to assault anybody wearing the uniform of our armed forces, or anybody who belongs to a particular racial or ethnic group, or anybody who either adheres to or does not adhere to a particular religion, you really would do yourself a favor to go to another college.

I doubt that the apparent diatribe that others found to be offensive was not meant. People don't spew venom toward others, without solicitation, on a lark -- and a post which basically says "this is available if you want it" is far from that sort of solicitation. Thus, it's much more likely that the comments in question really do reflect the attitude of the person who posted them, however repulsive the rest of us might find that attitude to be.
When we sweep an issue like this under the rug to avoid conflict, we usually set up a far worse ocnflict on another day. Imagine, for example what might happen if the poster were to make an offensive comment about the armed forces while standing between the Army ROTC drill sergeant and the Marine drill instructor assigned to the NROTC unit, both dressed in civilian clothes, without realizing who they were. The ensuing carnage might not be very pretty.

Posted by: EC Norm on December 17, 2008
However, EC Norm, since both of our arguments are based on what we think Narce "meant" by his comment, all of this is basically useless speculation unless Narce himself chooses to clarify.
Posted by: Katie '13 on December 17, 2008
In my experience, I have found that those who say inappropriate or hateful things about the military are not actually expressing contempt toward individuals in the military, but rather toward the the war and the politicians involved in the war.
Fundamentally, the contempt is the problem. It does not matter if the real contempt is for somebody other than the person(s) toward whom it's expressed.
And in fact, your hypothesis would be indicative of a worse personality trait. Do you really want a classmate who would take out his or her contempt for your roommate, or for some professor in the department of your major, on you?
EC Norm.
Posted by: EC Norm on December 17, 2008
However, as Narce has shown no indication of doing so, I'm going to withhold an opinion for the time being. I'm not defending him; I'm just expressing the possibility that he is not, in fact, the troop-hating bigot we've made him out to be.
There is, of course, the possibility that he meant every word he said and he really does judge and hate people based on their military service. However, as we don't and can't know until and if Narce chooses to clarify himself, we cannot come to any conclusions whatsoever about his opinions, let alone his personality.

I'm from California and I'll be playing water polo for the school. I've been praying and thanking God every night since Monday (Was it just me, or could anyone else NOT fall asleep?)I've been going back to the decisions page, checking frequently JUST to make sure that the admissions officers didn't mess up and mistake me for someone else. I just can't seem to believe that I got in.
I'd just like to say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone, and I look forward to spending an amazing four years with all of you very soon.
I have several questions:
1. Who here is from CA? East Bay?
2. Is anyone playing a spot? Mainly, water polo?
3. When will they be mailing out tubes?
Take care, and enjoy your senior year. I know I will.

My point to all that (in case you didn't want to read it, which is very likely) is that my stats and extracurriculars are very solid, but I have no major research projects or national competitions. I'd like to do something over the next year or so but I just don't know where to get started and time is ticking.
so anyway my question is this. Assuming great stats, extracurriculars, essays and letters of reccomendations; does a student with no major research projects or national competitions stand a chance in the MIT admissions (particularly the EA admissions)? I'd like to hear both sides, paricularly if anyone is in a similar boat to me.

She happens to love math and has some special knack for it that allows her to grasp the subject quickly and easily. But she is also a voracious reader of English literature, who spends her free time watching MASH reruns and going to the movies. Still, as one teacher wrote in his evaluation, "she excels in a humble and confident manner...and is a well rounded student with a spunky and upbeat personality... she has a powerful combination of intellectual ability, instinctive curiosity, and an unrelenting work ethic...included is an engaging personality with a heart of gold."
In addition to her teacher's comments she has a number of activities outside of school that were never intended to be a part of a high level application solely to impress an admissions officer. She is a competitive swimmer who spends 20 hours a week in the pool getting herself up at 5:00 am for morning workouts. She does this for the love of swimming, not as I mentioned, as another way to pad a college application.
Did her mother and I expect her to get accepted to MIT? I would like to think the answer is yes, but stepping back, who knows. What goes into a the admissions decision? I don't know, and I am not sure that these EC interviewers really know as well. What I can tell you, that you should all go back and read what they are looking for, and pay close attention to the last point.

I have no major research projects or national competitions, but I probably looked pretty good in other ways if they chose me. If you want a quick sketch of why I was at least competetive, I could send you more information about it privately - perhaps post an email address on my youtube page and I'll drop you a missive. To reiterate what people much more qualified to say so have offered, there's no magic formula, just puke your soul out and let them have a look-see.

I know how you feel about differntiating. There are two other Jacobs who posted before me, one who got in and one who (apparently) didn't.
@Prospective Parent:
When you gave the recommendation forms to the teachers, there was a line at the top that said that, if the student was admitted to MIT, they would have the right to read the recommendations, unless they signed on that line. I don't know about the interviews, though.
I'm in Ecuador right now, so I'm not going to ever see my tube outside of pictures. My parents are going to open it during a webcam conference with me, but it's just not the same... Maybe they'll save the confetti for me...

current students can see their admissions files once they enroll. the files are kept for a few years before being discarded or archived. i don't know what the student can access, but i'm pretty sure the interview reports are available. i don't know about teacher reports though.
i never wanted to see my admissions file so i never looked.

You said: There's no way I'll lie on these blogs just because I was moderated or any of you dislike what I say. I genuinely was disturbed by hearing something about the military in this.
I'm actually glad that you got this issue out in the open. You probably are not alone in those feelings, and you probably will find some like-minded classmates when you arrive on campus.
Nonetheless, there's no way to avoid encountering ladies and gentlemen (federal law says so!) in uniform on campus because they will be everywhere -- in classes, in your dorm, etc. -- at various times during the week. I'm sure that you will handle the situation much more responsibly if you are prepared for it than if it catches you completely off guard.
And perhaps, as you get to know some of these folks, you'll discover that they really are not the ogres that you apparently perceive them to be....

As an enrolled student you are able to request a look at your application folder.

The interview reports that I receive from ECs are not a part of the archived folders.

Posted by: Narce on December 18, 2008
I am not an international student, so I don't know for sure about that, but I have seen a common factor in those who got admitted versus those rejected. I have noticed that it seems that they are looking for more than just smart people. As the link Proud Dad '13 posted says, they are looking for a certain type of person who will fit in well at MIT with certain characteristics. There a lot of smart people in the world, and if that were the only characteristic, they would not be able to choose. However this link gives an idea of the type of student that they are looking for. http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/pulse/the_match_between_you_and_mit/index.shtml
If this describes you, and your application says that to the admissions office, regardless of whether you are American or International, I believe that that is what they really are looking for and is what separates the accepted from the rejected. So I don't think something like an international competition makes a whole lot of difference except that it shows your interests. That would contribute to showing yourself as a hard worker, but it is not a single factor that will get you in.

Posted by: Kevin H '13 on December 19, 2008
I decided to look more on the site about international students and this is what I found. http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/international_applicants_helpful_tips/index.shtml
On the page the link leads to, the section I found important is the first few paragraphs before it begins to talk about the requirements. They do agree that it is harder for international students because the percentage admitted is lower (4-5%). However, they also stress that they are looking for students that would fit into the MIT culture. What I take this to mean is that there are a lot more students applying than will be accepted than for Americans, and so the chances are lower. However they choose not the students with the most distinctions, but the students that are most likely to become a great fit into the group of people on campus.
So I still believe that what the other links said is true, it is just that only the 100 of the 2000 that seem to be the best match will be admitted. All this is to say that international competitions don't seem to be what they are looking for. Instead they are looking for a close-knit group of people.
Posted by: Chinua '13 on December 19, 2008
- Accepted 689 of 5,363 applicants - that is 12.85% acceptance rate.
- The number of early applications was the highest in the university's history.
- more than 25,000 students are expected to apply to Stanford through the regular admission process.
Posted by: A parent on December 19, 2008
Honestly, I am not completely sure why I got in. All I know is that the admissions officers for some reason believe that I would fit in well with the group they are forming for the '13 class. However, if you look at the link in my other post, I believe that that is the closest we can get to understanding what they are looking for. Also see the link in my response to Dhvanit.
Posted by: Chinua '13 on December 19, 2008
I hate to break this to you, but the Institute is not exactly "just a college." There are some common attributes but... most colleges would give anything to have just a few of the Institute's undergraduate students studying on their campus. At the Institute, you'll be surrounded by a LOT of extraordinary people -- both faculty and fellow students.
And guess what? YOU are one of those extraordinary people with whom other people want to interact! The admissions process is so competitive that applicants who are not extraordinary simply cannot gain admission.
EC Norm.
Posted by: EC Norm on December 19, 2008
It's also important not to relax. It's easy to say that "I'm an 'extraordinary person'," accept admission to MIT, and sit around like a vegetable. I don't speak for everyone, but I know that as a high school student it's not difficult to cross the line from being happy about admittance and feeling superior to everyone else. Feeling superiority and considering yourself "extraordinary" is difficult for any teenager to manage. On facebook lots of us are talking about our interests, trying to make casual conversation. But often these conversations boil down into bragging competitions: "WELL I DID RESEARCH ON THE CALIBI-YAU MANIFOLD!" ... "OH REALLY? WELL I BUILT AN ACCELEROMETER DAMPED HARD DRIVE ENCLOSURE!". It's a good thing that we feel at least slightly incompetent and insecure to show off; an ignorant sense of superiority is even worse. You know the image of pompous MIT kids? Those kids could be us.
Colleen makes a valid point: you always need to be reaching to improve yourself; the Institute is only a stepping stone. MIT is just a college, but the money you pay to attend isn't just paper.

Posted by: Jimi on December 19, 2008
I'm not worried. Arrival at the Institute tends to snap airs of superiority very quickly. Ninty-five percent of the incoming freshman class may have graduated in the top five percent of their high school classes, but rest assured that ninty-five percent of the incoming freshman class will NOT be in the top five percent at the Institute. It does not take very long for that reality to hit home!

I was a little disappointed to find out that someone expressed an extreme dislike for our men and women in uniform, but it's a free country. Of course, it's free because of them, but most of us know that.
My daughter has absolutely no desire to join any ROTC program, but neither she nor I would judge anyone who chose to do so. I personally appreciate the fact that MIT cooperates with the armed forces and offers ROTC.
A little tolerance goes a long way.

Posted by: Mohit Dhagat on December 20, 2008
To put it bluntly - inspiring is definitely not how I would describe MIT's campus. To be honest, of the 7 or 8 colleges I've visited, I think it takes the cake for the ugliest.
Having said that, you just don't come to MIT for the campus. You come for the people and the stellar education it offers. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of beautiful campuses out there -- but there is only one MIT.
Also, just so you know, there are some very pretty places in Boston - the public garden, the riverway, the arboretum - all very lovely places. So if you think that you can't live on an ugly campus for 4 years... MIT might not be the place for you. But if you think you want the best science/engineering education the world has to offer - MIT is the /only/ place to be.
Posted by: Katie '13 on December 20, 2008
The MIT campus has its charms. Anyone been in Barker Engineering Library, for instance? If not, you all have to go there during CPW. Up to the 6th floor from Lobby 10, I believe... in the big dome. It's gorgeous.
There was a time when I thought the campus needed more color. But the truth is, I wouldn't trade a thing. The tall black doors, the abundance of cement and concrete, the worn stairways. Actually they've seem to have been re-doing some stairways lately (or something, idunno), and I was like "You can't! They won't be the same stairs Feynman walked up anymore!" It was upsetting. Ironic, since when I was there as a younger kid I said "Wow, they really need to do something with these stairs."
It's just, so much has happened in those buildings, behind those tall black doors.
And then there's the view from the windows at night, across the Charles. There's the amazing architecture of Simmons and the Stata Center. There's the underground tunnels. And you can't call Killian Court ugly. I suppose most people would say it doesn't match up to Harvard Yard, but I still like it better

its right by the river so you get an awesome view, they try had to have trees and grass.
Granted, the interior of the buildings themselves aren't too stylish, but there are lots of posters and murals making everything relatively vibrant.
Cambridge/boston are greats cities--they are beautiful and clean.
The campus/surroundings are actually one of the main reasons I wanted to go to MIT.
