It won't play.... =(

But thank you for the luck. =)

Thanks! This last 3.5 hours is going to be brutal.

Thanks! This last 3.5 hours is going to be terrible.

Posted by: Nate ('14?) on December 16, 2009

Thank you! I'm pretty nervous but I'm telling myself that in the long run things will work out and if I don't get in MIT I can get in to another good school.

Posted by: David on December 16, 2009

Thanks! I completely agree with you. MIT is by far my first choice but I know that if I don't get in, I'll work as hard as I can at a different school smile

To any who don't get it, don't sweat it. I was deferred and then waitlisted last year and am now a freshman at Carnegie Mellon. I'm as happy as i could have ever wished for. Attending MIT is a great experience, i'm sure, but there are other places out there.

That said, good luck!

Posted by: Brian on December 16, 2009

So nervous. But thanks that made me feel better

Posted by: Christine on December 16, 2009

Thanks for taking the time to wish us luck. We all appreciate it.

Posted by: Josh on December 16, 2009

Thank you so much for this.

I'm pumped!

Ok guys and gals,

If u get your ticket today - enjoy the ego booster of your lifetime!

If you did not - here is a better reason to enjoy yourself..

From my real world experience for over 30 years - it is the innate desire to succeed in life that reigns supreme. Even if you study in a low key school but have an tenacious desire to succeed - you will succeed!

It is 3:13PM PST on Dec 16 2009. Did any one get admission letter through e-mail. Please reply ASAP. I am dying to see mine

Posted by: Nirmala Cox on December 16, 2009

Nothing's coming out until around 6:00 PM Pacific time

Posted by: Omer Zach on December 16, 2009

I don't think I've ever been so nervous about something for so long. But listening to this did help, so thanks.

Posted by: Claire ('14?) on December 16, 2009

WOW I haven't been on MITblog since FOREVERRRRR

=) GOOD LUCK Potential-pre-froshies!!! =O
only 2:06 hrs left

Posted by: Ty'12 on December 16, 2009

Thanks. This is going to be a nerve-racking 2 hours and 5 no... 4 no... 3 minutes.
I envy those in Pacific Time who will get theirs at 6pm. I am on the east coast and am waiting till 9pm.

Posted by: Aidan on December 16, 2009

Hey Celena thanks for the pep talk. =)
I'd love vlogs about how you spend your holidays!
2hrs to go ppl!!

Posted by: Val'14? on December 16, 2009

@gamer,
Nicely put!
Completely agree with you. =)

Posted by: Val'14? on December 16, 2009

Ugh....I'm just afraid to look...
Man, this really IS brutal...

Posted by: Rowen('14?) on December 16, 2009

Thank you so much. That helped calm my nerves some. Enjoy your holiday!

Put the apostrophe in the wrong place on the name... anyway, T-1 hour 54 minutes.

Posted by: Alexandra ('14?) on December 16, 2009

Good luck to all you High School seniors, and also the MIT Undergads.

Congratulations on all your accomplishments, and best wishes in whatever you do. You have everything in front of you. Enjoy!

Posted by: Tom Griffin on December 16, 2009

really nervous...

Posted by: Clara on December 16, 2009

I am so nervous I didn't sleep last night. I am soooooooooo scared, I dont know what to do. I want to be a part of MIT so bad.

Posted by: NervousandShaking on December 16, 2009

Thanks so much!

Posted by: Vhiremath4('14?) on December 16, 2009

OMG OMG OMG !!! I found a way to get MIT decisions now by editing the url!

Start with decisions.mit.edu/ , and put your username at the end. Add a slash "/". Then go to my.mit.edu, copy the url and paste it after the url you already had. Now, login and then copy the new url. Paste this one after the other url that you just pasted. Here's the tricky part: there is one section between the two url's that is different (shown in pic below) tinyurl.com/2g9mqh . Put this section at the end of the slash, and you should get your decision!

I got deferred :/

Posted by: Tanvir A. ('14?) on December 16, 2009

Here's a secret: This tension is nothing. Just wait'till you have kids!!

Posted by: Tom '80 on December 16, 2009

Editing the url to find out seems hardly in the spirit of admissions...

...says the girl who's now hyperventilating while waiting for 50 more minutes to pass. ^^;

Posted by: Stephanie on December 16, 2009

the times when waiting was the only thing one can do...

Posted by: tree on December 16, 2009

Why thanks. P.S, if it's not loading, try the youtube HQ version. Somehow that one loaded first.

Also perspective building:

And while we're waiting, may i entertain my fellow waiters with this news about the longest sea bridge

Posted by: tree on December 16, 2009

Aaaaaa! Thank you for the luck-wishing! I'm anticipating a small (or perhaps large) mental breakdown when I get the inevitable deferral. My friends all have faith in me (some of them ridiculously enthusiastic faith) and I have had extraordinarily good luck today, but I'm too scared to even consider that I might get accepted. It seems too amazing to be true. I love MIT and everything it stands for, it's just a really amazing place and I want so badly to be a part of it.

@Brian - Thank you for saying that, that made me feel pretty good, since Carnegie Mellon is my second choice.

Posted by: Arthur (14?!?!) on December 16, 2009

I hope you are joking about the trick... I am so nervous now.

Posted by: 0 on December 16, 2009

Good luck to everybody! 18 minutes! Don't refresh too much or you'll overload the servers and we'll all cry wink

Posted by: Arthur (14?!?!) on December 16, 2009

expect decisions a few minutes early...

Posted by: anon on December 16, 2009

Ah, prefrosh are so cute.

To think it's actually been a year!

Good luck, people!

Posted by: Deeni '13 on December 16, 2009

Deferred! Gah! @_@

Posted by: Stephanie on December 16, 2009

Deferred. Knew it. Oh well, pressure is let off until march!

Posted by: Arthur (14?!?!) on December 16, 2009

Defered....SOB :-(

Posted by: Naomi on December 16, 2009

VERY NICE!!! Oh... enjoy the trip and ... i forgot my accounting book in your room. Not good.

Posted by: Tong '12 on December 16, 2009

Deferred as well.

Posted by: Ben ('14 ????) on December 16, 2009

Good luck guys. Remember that beside MIT there are still plenty of great University out there. So don't feel so bad if you get rejected.
@Brian: I wonder why you are still here. Still dwelling on MIT. You are just like me ^^. If I get rejected, I'll keep haunting this web site until the end of my life. lol ^^
@Celena: thanks for the luck. You are so nice and thoughtful.
