MIT Admissions plans to make Early Action decisions available online on Wednesday, December 16 at 9pm EST.
When decisions are released, simply visit decisions.mit.edu and log in using the same username and password that you use to log into your MyMIT account. There are no interim screens, so you should be sure you are ready to receive your decision online before logging in to decisions.mit.edu.
To ensure that you will receive a decision online, please visit decisions.mit.edu and enter your username and password. Decisions.mit.edu will be available through the decision date for applicants to confirm their login ability and decision eligibility.
If you've forgotten your MyMIT password, you may use our automated system to reset it. Simply visit my.mit.edu and click on the lost password link. There is a similar link for forgotten usernames. If you're having trouble using our automated username/password recovery process, please email mymitpassword@mit.edu with your full name and mailing address.
Admissions decisions will be available exclusively online. Decisions will not be released via email, snail mail, carrier pigeon, or Nekobasu special delivery. Following the release of admissions decisions, however, we will be mailing necessary materials to admitted students, cylindrically.
I wish you all the best!

I love MIT, and I know it doesn't matter whether or not I get in. But, it's still important, and knowing that I'm going to learn about this decisions in 9 days is pretty scary; I know any other prefrosh will agree with me.
Glad that the tube tradition is still going strong, but that makes me all the more sad if I don't get one (but hopefully I will).
Good luck to all who applied (and those still in the process of applying), and I hope everyone is pleasantly surprised. Thank you admissions for working so hard on looking at all our applications and choosing the best of the best (but why a day later than last year?). Hope I can find a way to calm down until the 16...

And on the topic of Miyazaki movies: Spirited Away is my favourite, but that may just be because it as the first Miyazaki film I saw, so I might be biased a bit.

My guess is that 45 minutes is too long for evaluation, but a video is probably an acceptable supplement format because I've seen others submit personal statements on video before (I'm thinking "Legally Blonde"). If it's germane and beneficial (i.e. you plan to major in economics and the lecture is awesome), then you might want to cut a few minutes of highlights and send both the condensed reel and the full source video in for consideration, but only in the event that you get deferred because the decisions will be out so soon it won't be evaluated in the early action cycle anyway and you wouldn't want to waste the time to edit the video down or be ecologically irresponsible by wasting plastic and electricity to burn it to DVD and burning unnecessary fossil fuels or inconvenience postal workers to rush-transport it to MIT. Disclaimer: this is just (un)educated guessing and in person I would have just inaudibly mumbled the last half-dozen lines really quickly. . .

The H.S. just changed to block scheduling and all AP classes are 2 semesters. All other classes are 1 semester. There's only 4 classes per semester which includes Gym and English which you take all 4 years. He will not be able to take all the AP classes he will potentially qualify for because of the limited schedule. Any suggestions for what to skip and what to take? He's considering giving up AP History 1 and 2 for which he qualifies for the possibility of fitting in AP Computer Science which he would take Jr. year. He won't even know if he qulifies till he takes Java next year (sophmore). He doesn't want to make the wrong decisions when picking his classes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Posted by: Valart on December 9, 2009
MIT will take into account if your school has a limited schedule. He should just take what he enjoys (I would do Robotics and programming), but still challenge himself with APs in other classes. Also, look into the possibility of classes before school or online classes.

What do you mean by "qualifies" for AP Comp Sci...? If it's some academic basis, then I should hope he has 100% confidence in qualifying for it, or he wouldn't even want to apply here ^_^"
Posted by: NathanArce on December 9, 2009
My school uses the block schedule, and it seems to work very well. I wasn't able to take all the AP classes my school offered, but I was still able to take eleven or so. I would suggest that he takes whichever subjects he wants to take the most and has the most enthusiasm for. I have always learned more (and consequently done better) in classes that I'm genuinely excited about. I almost think block scheduling is an advantage, as it is a more accurate preview of what college courses are going to be like. As for me, I took AP Compsci and loved it, along with AP Chem and AP US History. Those were probably my favorites. AP English IV is my least favorite, and if I did high school over again, I would take either AP English III or IV and not both because of the stress involved in reading a 500-or-so page book a week, and plus, most colleges only take one AP English exam for credit. So I guess my advice is, he should take whichever classes appeal to him the most.

As for AP Computer Science they don't allow a student to take it unless they take JAVA first and the final grade for JAVA is in. They don't allow you to take JAVA till 10th grade even though he more than met the qualifications by 8th grade. I feel the system is slowing him down but those are the rules. We have a local community college that offers JAVA and C++. I thought he could get a head start by taking it there, but you have to be a HS Jr. or Sr. as per thier rules. By that time he may as well take it in college. Perhaps there is a way around the system. Perhaps it hasn't come up at his HS school before since very few kids (4-5 a year) qualify for AP JAVA and they are usually seniors by then.

You may want to consider having your son take online classes through Northwestern University's Center for Talent Development. They offer AP classes online that your son can do on his own time and he may be able to receive credit through his school. My student took several of these classes and was happy with them. They are mostly self taught, so your son should consider that if he is deciding which class or classes to take.

A Smart Applicant could go and figure out that P(Union of A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(Intersection of A and B), and therefore realize that your minimum statistical odds of getting in (Assuming the greatest possible intersect) is the admit rate of the group you belong to with the greatest admit rate
A Smarter Applicant can do all that and then realize that it all means nothing
As tempting as it is to stress over statistics, it really doesn't help a lot.
So here's to the 20 hour days that make up hell week and the hope of forgetting all this for another 5 days. Good Luck everyone.
Posted by: Louis ('14?) on December 11, 2009
I actually asked my stats teacher if that would be a statistically sound approximation of my chances of getting in, then realized I didn't know P(Intersection A and B) lol oh well.

Then, Matt answered a question from an EA applicant by the name of Emily:
Emily asked: "When you have to list your APs, A-levels and O-levels/GCSEs would it give the wrong impression if I listed only a few of my GCSEs? There isn't enough space to put all of the high school qualifications that I have and I was wondering whether listing a few GCSEs would cause admissions to think that I had only done those. I took all of my GCSEs at the same time so choosing the most recent ones is not an option. Would it be simpler to just list my A-levels and let the transcript cover my GCSEs?"
Matt '00 replies: I know that there aren't enough lines for all A-levels and O-levels. My recommendation is to combine onto one line multiple O-level results. Maybe something like this:
Maths, Economics, Drama A*, A*, A
Latin, Geography, History A, A, B
That pretty much solved it for me.

Let's all just relax okay. Nerves are strained already as they are. We don't need to start worrying about how applications jumped 15% to make it worse. Last thing I want to do is start thinking in the middle of an exam is what the numbers mean for my chances. It happens a lot actually.

What happens will happen, for better or worse. If you're meant to be at MIT, then you will be accepted. Nothing to change now. You've done you rbest and as long as you are proud and happy of it, then nothing else should matter. It's only a few days away but just look forward to it without any expectations.
That way, you can accept your decision with a smile. Cry, if you must, if you didn't immediately get in. But smile that the wait is over. Then you have another few months where you can rethink things.
Just go with the flow.

Yes, it is most urgent. Maybe if the recaptcha reads "future now" I'll go to the decisions website and see if mine were posted by accident :O lol If recaptcha can divine admissions decisions, that's just scary.

Good luck! I know this is a terrifying and anxious time, but really there are far more important things to concern yourself with than the letter on Wednesday. Let that wait until Wednesday, get out there and enjoy life! And no worries to you guys who get deferred, it's not the end of the world. Turned out ok for me!
Posted by: Chris M. on December 12, 2009
Anyway, I've been wondering which school will be "best" for my son--where will he be happy so that he does not get too homesick...should he stay nearby (some great schools here in the midwest) or should he go 1000 miles away? Now I can relax and know that the Nekobasu can bring him home anytime if he gets accepted and goes to MIT!

I'll definitely try out for at least intramural soccer, maybe varsity. I'd like to get into volleyball too, since it wasn't offered for men at my school. Maybe football, depending on how big other Division III athletes are

But the one thing MIT has always asked prospective students to do, is to study what they like the most, and that's the only thing I kept when I chose my courses.
I like how the recaptcha thing is going. I got
'unique re', what does that mean? Unique reply? Anyways, it doesn't really matter. It would be an extremely alarming series of coincidences if the recaptcha could predict decisions.

I know some people have mentioned these things before, but just want to put out there that I'm in the same boat with 1) I only know how to program my calculator, and not well (well, there was that one time last summer when I tried to teach myself C++ with a book....I got as far as the "Hello World!"). 2) My school only has four AP classes, French, Spanish, Calculus AB, and European History. I have taken Calc and Spanish, can't take French, and never, ever, ever would take AP Euro. So if that's the only thing stopping me from MIT, so be it. You couldn't pay me $1,000,000 to take AP Euro at my school.
I'm nervous, and sad, and happy, and everything all at once. I have done all I can. I just hope MIT sees that. My school doesn't have much in terms of AP or computer things, and they didn't fit in my schedule. I don't know if they'll take that as "Well, she didn't even take these courses," (negatively) or "She took all the courses she could have, it's not her fault they didn't have more," (positively).

What science do you take instead? I took chemistry and biology last year. This year I take HL biology and SL physics. My schedule is pretty ugly. I wish my school allowed HL physics instead of biology as an intended physics major - but bio is fun so I don't care, but more physics would be nice. We just got the IB program at my school. What is your EE on?
Sorry for seeming overly excited with all the questions!
Posted by: Marissa ('14?) on December 13, 2009
Now I'm freaking out though because I'm reading the thread for last year's deferred kids, and there's all sorts of people who won this and that national award and took 948759834693 APs and still didn't get in early action.

Yeah! I am the second class of IB to graduate. I am sorry about AP physics, I have a similar story. I surprisingly have a studyhall next semester and I wanted to fill it with astronomy, sadly, the class occurs last block when I have physics :/
This makes me and my telescope really sad - he is collecting dust. Though, I will really need that studyhall.
Your paper is really interesting, pinhole photography is beautiful. I don't know too much about it, I wish you the best!
@ Rishi
I was going to do something similar! such as how the game of baduk could influence the improvement traffic - how baduk employs game theory in a way that could be used to analyze how cars move, and could move more safely yet efficiently. Instead I chose a different idea, my question is: What are the positives and negatives when considering whether buckminister fullerenes are more proficient as vectors for somatic gene therapy?
Completely different, haha. I am currently in the process of editing it.
I am so glad that there are other IB students out there! Good luck you guys, I hope we get tubed!

I'm not superstitious, but sometimes it is fun to pretend that there are omens. I like the theory that bad luck can mean good luck is coming, because a car backed out of a parking space into my car at <1 mph. No damage, but maybe that nets me a little "luck". Is the good luck proportional to the bad luck? If so Kathy probably has more "luck".
More importantly, what happens if our Evaluation A is still missing? Is there some way we can teleport it to the admissions people? Mail and fax both seem to have failed...

" into my car at less than one mile per hour. No damage, but hopefully it nets me a little 'luck'. Is the amount of good luck proportional to the amount of bad luck? If so, Kathy probably has more 'luck'."
However, the less-than sign was interpreted as part of an HTML tag... maybe I should have clicked "preview"

I know this may come as a shock, but MIT is not in Connecticut.
If it were, then it wouldn't be next to Awesome-ton (a.k.a Boston).
But this is a moot point and I guess you really don't know where the heck the college you're applying to is located. As long as you get in...

If I get in, I will be elated and will not mind having to do homework that I put off to see the movie. If I get deferred, I will less gladly do the homework, but it will be nice to have taken a break instead of working hard all day only to discover a deferral.

I'm blasting "Cousins" by Vampire Weekend, and intermittently getting up and jumping around. It makes me feel quite optimistic. Also, alternating between studying for an AP German exam and playing Left 4 Dead. Getting close to pooping my pants with anxiety.
