Alright so my laptop is alive again! :P Sorry for the lateness! ><"

Here are the Valentine's Day pictures that I got!

The first entry comes from Jess W., from frigid North Dakota! (wow ND - look at all that snow in the back!)

The second entry is from Emily C., from San Jose! (where it's probably sunny now? - and yes, gummy chocos are pretty awesome, and your isef shirt is too :P)

What's better, a Gummy Choco tube or a MIT tube? (The choice is obvious)

And we have Lindsay S., from Scottsdale, AZ. Have you run out of frames to frame your MIT certificates yet? ;)

Then we have a Californian trio of Esmeralda R., Michelle C., and Helen W., representing San Diego, San Diego, and Goleta, CA. Michelle and Helen, are you guys holding beaver plushies? :P

Thank you all! :D Welcome to MIT and see you all at CPW! ^_____^V

(where are all the 2014 guys? :p)

Who? O, it's only MIT....breah thetop 100 schools yet?
MIT has thelowest standards of all the top ten schools, if it even belongs there....

por soniris lapere?

@caltech-whatever

I think that you don't understand the topmost standards or are looking at some lowest standards ! Please do refer to the best standards and you will find MIT there.

Before saying anything:
Do check:

The Standard of MIT Inventions and Breakthroughs
MIT OCW
MIT Blogs
MIT Tech News
MIT Professors
MIT Students

and then your standard to compare ~!
What do you think, putting spams in the admissions blog is a your standard?

Look at the greatness of MIT people, they even don't bother to delete your entry !

MIT Preschool? LOVE IT!!!!

Posted by: genius ('18) on February 11, 2010

Just the Fact the 2 kids in the middle will stay stationary.

Posted by: 0 on February 11, 2010

I will certainly when I get mine!

@caltechmathking : We never learn, do we? I won't even tell you to stop this time. You disappoint me.

@caltechmathking: If you think that degrading something makes yours better, your philosophy is seriously flawed.

MIT preschool would have been awesome. =)

Posted by: Justin on February 11, 2010

i love this!

Posted by: Jenny'13 on February 12, 2010

It's a pity that I didn't get a tube because I live abroad :( Those of you living in the U.S., I truly envy you, haha!

@Caltechmathking: I don't think you are a Techer- You should stop embarrassing Caltech. No offense, but if you are truly a Caltech student, what are you doing goofing off here in MIT blogs?

Posted by: Anonymous on February 12, 2010

loved the preschool concept

Posted by: Rishabh on February 12, 2010

@previous Anonymous
You don't get a tube if you're abroad? it's reasonableunderstandable, but still a bit disappointing I guess.

Nice playground, they should try projectile motion next.

Posted by: Ammar '14 on February 12, 2010

The playground , lol

And thank you Anonymouse one x 2

you're concept is true and lol of course

Posted by: Armin on February 12, 2010

@ caltechmathking

after some reorganization, you are

Posted by: Armin on February 12, 2010

Actually, the two kids in the middle won't be stationary. Everyone knows how little kids can't sit still very long!

Posted by: Jay '14 on February 12, 2010

btw, did you see the Doonesbury comic where the MIT guy is hitting on the girl? Its pretty good too.

Posted by: Jay '14 on February 12, 2010

Awwww I love the playground cartoon.
Wherever did you find that?

Posted by: Aditi on February 13, 2010

haizzzzzzzzzzz...........

I also want to get accepted into MIT too!!! :(((
But I don't think I will ever be....now i m juz waiting for the rejection letter to drop into my mailbox on March someday,,.....

Posted by: cott on February 13, 2010

This just serves to show how closely knit M.I.T students are. This is how they are able to keep themselves together through the tough years of university. I love this spirit, and can even feel it fill me up right here in Lebanon, half-way around the globe (8739.6 km away, to be precise).

Note to the caltech guy that keeps posting everywhere: it gets old after a while, the "Woohoo, I love Caltech and I hate MIT", just move on, we get it.

Posted by: David A. C. ('14) on February 14, 2010

I wish they had this cool tube in my year.

Posted by: T Roll on February 16, 2010

dangiiiit, this just depresses me knowing I'm not going to get in. :/

Posted by: anon on February 26, 2010

Second this time!!
Thank for nice images.

Posted by: Morteza on February 26, 2010

Does anyone know why MIT choose Theobromine? Why chocolate?

Posted by: Morteza on February 26, 2010

ANOTHER Caltech math guy?

BTW, Amazing pictures! :D

Posted by: Caio ('14?) on February 26, 2010

Cool cartoon.
Caltechmathking just wants some attention. Just ignore him.

Posted by: Nasser on February 26, 2010

I second Nasser. MIT>Caltech. WE have better things to discuss on this blog, and angry reprisals only hog space.

It's odd that it appears that I've aldready commented on this, but I don't remember seeing the photos with the tube...although I do remember seeing the preschool one. I can't wait till I get MY tube!

Speaking of the tube, I have to admit the last one is the most creative and the second to last is the most amusing. What do you think????

Posted by: genius ('18) on February 26, 2010

Oops! There was some problem with the recaptcha...

Posted by: genius ('18) on February 26, 2010

Hey, I see me!
Haha it's funny that you mention the sun -- ironically the rain is POURING outside right now and there are supposed to be thunderstorms later on in the evening!

Posted by: Emily C. on February 26, 2010

@Morteza: Valentine day's chocolate, I guess.

Posted by: Han'14 on February 26, 2010

Awesome pics.

Question:
If you get admitted Regular Decision do you also get the tube thingy? I'm just kinda curious.

Posted by: jamesmgg on February 26, 2010

Tee hee, I'm on the interweb! And yes, I do know that it is indeed the internet I'm just making a joke. I feel like such a celebrity

Posted by: Jess W on February 27, 2010

^ jess, will you know whether you are the only ND admit after the regular decisions come out?

i just found it really interesting cuz i think MIT usually have students from every state in each class EXCEPT the dakotas (i think it was SD rather than ND in recent years though).

it would be really cool if every state was represented in MIT 2014 :D

(oh yeah commenting for this blog is screwed up (it happens sometimes) that's why everyone is double posting, haha)

Posted by: oasis '11 on February 27, 2010

are those tubes given to regular admits too? :/

Posted by: navin on February 27, 2010

Hi! Whoot MIT students ^_^. Very cool lol. Really though, where are all the guys :S ?

@Chris
Choco gummy tube ftw!! Just kidding. But i really could go for some chocolate right about now *sigh*. One more thing, are these all the pictures you got or were there more?

recaptcha: "tattoos are"

Posted by: Brad (waiting to find out on pi day) on February 27, 2010

@Han: I mean another thing. The molecule you see on those brown cards is Theobromine which is mainly found in chocolates. My question is that why MIT draw this molecule on those cards?

Posted by: Morteza on February 27, 2010

I applied Early Action and got deferred. Do you need all the financial aid info to be eligible for admission on March 14?
Thanks

@Morteza:That was Valentine day's card...and Theobromine represents Valentine day's chocolate...the molecule structure...100% MIT...

Posted by: Han'14 on February 27, 2010

are those tubes sent to international admits too???
if not MIT doesnt love 'em ;P

Posted by: navin on February 28, 2010

@oasis: I already know one other person that was admitted from ND and I'm pretty sure he's planning on going so I know I'm not the only one

Just a fun fact, two years ago there were two people from my school that got in and went so while we North Dakotans are underrepresented we most certainly are represented at least a little.

Posted by: Jess W on February 28, 2010

Sorry, but the TUBES are only for Early Admits. Since international students can't apply early, they like all the other regular admits wouldn't receive a tube.

Posted by: anonymous on March 1, 2010

@Anonymous:
thanks for answering
but i really liked those tubes
would love to have one but cant have :(
