Decided to announce the announcement of decisions.

The cable was accompanied by the following encrypted text, which was broken by double rainbow tables all the way across the sky:


MIT Regular Action admissions decisions will be available online on Monday, March 14, beginning at 9:26PM EDT.

  20. MITLeaks says:

    @bill –

    MITLeaks believes that decisions are at this moment being made and will continue to be made right up until the deadline itself. MITLeaks also could use a nap.

  21. My heart is beating like mad!! :D

  22. MITLeaks, that’s a great idea.
    Good luck to all us, I’m officially excited now, I hope to Allah all goes well. :D

  29. Chris M. says:

    @Piper
    Well, I’d assume they’re twice as strong as the regular kind

  30. SilasP89 says:

    That’s gonna be a long night for some of us. :-D

    @Chris M: maybe if the hash was hashed using a different hash, you could square the original strength.

    or you could just guess “123456” and automatically crack half of the passwords

  33. Gaurav says:

    OMG!!! ☺☺☺

  34. udboss says:

    MITLeaks is great!!!Love it….gud luck guys….give me some best wishes too smile)

  35. David L. says:

    I just about passed out in class because of this news. Thus begins the longest week of my life, leading towards either one of the best days of my life or a great disappointment. I wish all of the other applicants luck, and hope they feel the same.

  36. LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!

  37. lulz says:

    @muhammad ibrahim’s teacher(?)
    sorry, but someone had to saw it. hella awkward…

  38. Matt '00 says:

    Thank goodness they redacted my middle name!

  39. Lauren '14 says:

    Good luck guys! With the exception of the haters, it’s pretty awesome to get in smile

  40. Austin says:

    I cannot wait for decisions.
    T Minus 7 days and counting…

  41. Tushhar says:

    Lol, “rainbow tables across the sky”
    Who comes up with this stuff xD

  42. Vasif says:

    Anybody from Azerbaijan, Georgia or Armenia?

  43. Anonymous says:

    looks like this is a special year for MIT, coz 15 is the closest they can get to the value of pi beyond addition to 3.14……nice

  44. Pushing back decisions ~7 hours later than expected… Way to add unneeded suspense!! There will be a total flood of activity from 9:26 to midnight and servers will probably delay our computers. Way to add more suspense!! Just what I need before the biggest decision of my life! Just kidding; I’m not expecting anything – just hoping for the best! I like what Dimitris said too: “Life goes on.” Agreed D-tris, agreed. smile

  45. Tara says:

    yay! one week! can’t wait!! smile

    We are

  49. Qing says:

    Tell me your result on Sunday night. God luck to all of us! Hope that there will be something lucky happening.

  50. Vivek says:

    Oh. I’ve found the *perfect* song accompaniment for this post. “Glitter Hits” by The Styles. Listen to the bridge and chorus carefully. wink

  51. Qing says:

    Could anybody answer me: when I received MIT’s respond today, it seems that my application hasn’t been decided. I am worrying about that right now!

  52. Qing –

    That is mostly because the decision date is March 14th.

  53. Hi guys, this is my first post here smile

    So, the nerve begins now…. its 6:55AM in India when the decisions come out… but it’ll still be a great day..

    All of you int’l applicants can join our group on Facebook “MIT International Applicants 2015″…. we’ll have a chatroom shortly before decisions come out..

    best of luck to y’all smile

    Good luck to everyone guys!!! Chances look pretty narrowed down to zero.. but I always think.. someone has to get it right? wink LETS HOPE FOR THE BEST!! smile
    Hopefully see some of you next year! :D

  58. Stephanie :) says:

    Oh goodness, I am so nervous now! Good luck to all my fellow applicants! No matter what the decision, we are all still awesome. smile

    (P.S. I told my math teacher about how the decision time and date tied in with pi and she pretty much wants to marry MIT now. That’s all.)

  59. The Beaver says:

    Oh yeah! Time for more Rock n’ Roll now :D

  60. Cris says:

    and now we wait!

  61. Anonymous1 says:

    Let’s see who will be the last to comment.
    @chris M: remember?
    We can also test the capacity of the page by posting a record number of comments.
    LAST!

  62. HAHA! MIT is so cool!

  63. How to check your decision before anyone else
    1. Set up a chat with all applicants on various social networking websites.
    2. Log in right before decision time.
    3. One minute left: inform the participants that you possess a creature of the equestrian variety.
    4. When all your conversational partners have disconnected, check your decision while everyone is fixing their internet.

  64. Josh says:

    This week can’t go by fast enough!

  65. Corey says:

    Good luck everyone! The next week is gonna be ridiculous and sorta fun in a weird way.

  66. Daniel says:

    Just imagine, in 642 years you’ll be able to throw a bunch of digits of Pi in there wink

  67. OMG ! I LOVE YOU MIT and of course MITLEAKS! I hope everyone here gets in. My brother goes to MIT, so I visited the institution during Family weekend. Let me tell you, this is by far the most amazing place you can ever visit and stay at.

    Who else is representing CANADA?

    SO EXCITED!!!!

  68. Katie says:

    Oh, yes, this is going to be one long week XD
    Thankfully Streetlight Manifesto’s got a concert here tomorrow and there’s a Mu Alpha Theta competition Saturday to keep my mind off it for a little while…

  69. Patrice332 says:

  72. candide says:

    It will definitely be a super special PI day for us. Good Luck everyone. If I get in, I’ll go buy a lottery ticket with the numbers above as a souvenir!!!
    Thank you MITLeak& all the admission people. Luv Yal~

  73. Srini says:

    Any chance we could get some statistics such as total no of admitted students?

  74. Edward'15? says:

    Uhh… I can’t wait!! My heart is beating like crazy!!!!! Good Luck everyone and best luck for me smile

  75. gaurav says:

    wow thanks mitleaks; i am sure julian assange is looking for you with envy :p This ‘extracting-decisions-from-pi’ idea is totally cool, MIT rocks

  76. SD says:

    @Sarabjot Anand
    I’m from Canada too!

    I think I’ll bake pi(e) for my classmates on March 14th for good luck.

    Good luck everyone!

  77. ls says:

    anyone representing tainan, taiwan?

  78. Alex says:

    March 14th, 9:25pm:
    mit.edu server 1: How are things going?
    mit.edu server 2: Fine, traffic is pretty normal today. How many page requests are you getting?
    mit.edu server 1: Oh, about the norma- OH GOD!
    mit.edu server 2: What? What is it?!

    mit.edu server 2: Hello?! What’s going on?! One second I was carrying on a conversation with server 1 and the ne- HOLY HE-

    connection to mit.edu has timed out

    @Lauren ’14

    “Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it; I guess every superhero needs his theme music.” smile

  80. Tim says:

    Oh, here we go again! Good luck to all of us!!!

  81. Prince says:

    Such a weird feeling.!
    Can’t express it.

    Results awaited desperately.!!!!!

  82. So does this mean the class of 1592 got their decisions at 6:53 PM?

  83. @should be doing math — MIT was established in 1861 and opened in 1865, so the first class would have probably graduated in 1869. So class of 1592 is illogical.

    Although the decisions are sort of a life and death situation for myself and my family, I will take a deep breath and say that I’m not overly stressing and wetting my pants for this. I’ve tried my level best for getting in, and the last bit of the application involves a bit of fate, whose result of course I’ll find out with the decision.

    For me, since I’m in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the decision will come around 5:30pm, a day after Pi Day (3/15). But nonetheless, I’m still anxious, happy, excited, and a bit nervous, but not totally nervous to be shaking tremendously like an earthquake and not being able to think.

    And as Dimitris over here said, if we get rejected, life still goes on, so don’t be mad at the world for that, I’ve been in this situation actually (I’m on a gap year as a result) and I acknowledge that life won’t end for me. If we get accepted, then you know what happens.

    P.S — To find a better way of keeping yourself happy, cheerful, and stress-free through music, check out the “Alive 2007” videos of Daft Punk.
    Start with this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRRmy0QoNAk (a bit hard to believe that this whole album was actually performed live instead of a studio recording and this song along with the album won Grammy Awards.

  84. Nazia '14 says:

    OMG! Class of 2015! It is so exciting to think of another set of freshmen apart from ourselves. =)
    Best of luck, everyone!

  85. @Patrice332, @Brian, @SD

    OMG us Canadians have to definitely get in! I am so excited! WE LOVE YOU MIT!!!

  86. Hisham7 says:

    This is AMAZING !!! Its gonna be an important day for everyone, I’m really excited and worried. The moment that we are all waiting for is on doors.

    From my area, it is about a 7 hours difference so the decision will be available at 4:30 am, this is so exiting smilesmile

    BEST OF LUCK FOR EVERYONE =)

  88. @Hisham — I guess you’re from either Qatar or Saudi Arabia cause at the given time, it becomes an 8 hour difference for me (I’m from UAE).

    Sorry, I misread the “pm” in time while conversion, so it comes out in the morning (5:30am) for me, but wait, I’ll be asleep by then, I’ll just have one sweet dream that night I believe for the acceptance, then let’s see what happens.

  89. Hey guys,

    Just cant wait! I’m sure everyone here has an interesting story to tell behind our pursuit to get into MIT. Lets just hope there would be a bigger story to tell on decision day.Good luck guys!

    Rajah!

    Oh, 2am for me in the morning!!!
    This is going to be a loooooong night! =)

  92. Keno says:

    @Matt/MITLeaks
    I was just informed that I got enough points on the AMC to advance to the AIME.
    Does it still make sense to send the admissions office an email about it?

    @Piper, Chris
    There are always two rainbows. The question is just how to get them in a table wink

  93. Vivek says:

    @Matt – “Thank goodness they redacted my middle name!” – lulz

    And finally, we have confirmation on what we’d been expecting for a while now. Big thanks to the entire adcom for working day and night to get us our decisions on time, considering the increase in applicants. And best of luck to everyone. Fingers crossed. wink

  94. This is so exciting! I’ve been waiting for this day since 5th grade! Good luck to everyone!
