Hi folks,
I'm pleased to let you know that we're on schedule to release decisions as planned - at noon (Eastern Time) on Saturday March 17.
Decisions will be available to those who meet all of the following criteria:
- You have applied for freshman admission (not transfer or graduate).
- Your intended entry year (as designated in your MyMIT account) is 2007.
- You applied in Regular Action, or were deferred in Early Action (the system is unable to display decisions for those who applied in Early Action and received a "final" action in December - i.e. admitted or denied).
What is the process for receiving my admissions decision online?
In order to check your decision online, you will need to have registered for a MyMIT account and you will need to know your username and password. When decisions are released, simply visit https://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 wish to receive your decision online before logging in to decisions.mit.edu.
Please note that you can visit https://decisions.mit.edu now to confirm your username and password. We will not be in the office on the weekend that decisions are released, so to prevent any delays, you should confirm your username and password well in advance.
What if I've forgotten my MyMIT username or password?
You may use our automated system to reset it. Simply visit my.mit.edu and click on the "lost username" or "lost password" link.
What if I don't have a MyMIT account?
If you do not currently have a MyMIT account and you wish to receive your decision online, you will need to register for one using your MIT ID, which was sent to you via postal mail soon after receiving your paper application (if you used the online application, you already have a MyMIT account). If you have misplaced your MIT ID, or if you never received it, you may call our office to get it (please note that you will be asked to give some personal information for verification).
If you register without your MIT ID, your username and password may not work on decisions.mit.edu.
Will there be any indication of my admissions decision in my MyMIT account?
Admitted students will see the addition of the Admitted Student Portlet in their MyMIT account beginning on or after Monday, March 19. (Denied and waitlisted applicants will not see a change.) If you do not wish to receive your decision online, you'll want to take a brief vacation from your MyMIT account until your letter arrives in the mail.

Good luck everyone!

All the admission bloggers- we need your help to cope the tension. Looking forward to reading something nice and soothing! haha
Yesterday, i read a blog in my dream with pictures of Ben, Nance and Matt seeing off our packages (and also biting them for a pose). Now that is when you know the decisions are almost there!

I have read the post with mixed reaction. Am happy coz the day to finally know my fate is just 5 days away. But at the same time I am nervous, tensed like never before. Am sure if we were to cast a vote for whether to have the decisions postponed I would vote to have them postponed indefinately.
For now am keeping my fingers and my toes crossed. I wish........
But alas, if wishes were fishes then everybody would be a fisherman!!!!!!!!

Sure, I will be heart-broken if I get rejected. Am not sure how long I will take to recover but it's going to be hard dealing with a rejection.
spacepirate
I agree with u. We need more blogs on admissions. Right now, I don't care much about other blogs other than the ones on admissions.
Finally, any one from Kenya? What time will it be here in Kenya. Is it 7pm? Whatever the time, I won't sleep until I know my fate.
Guys, it's done. All we can do is wait.

Do what I did when EA decisions came out. . .stay up all night the night before with friends and play wii. Maybe not wii (but I can't see why not) but do something and make sure it lasts well into the night. That way when you wake up at 11:30 you only have to wait about 15 minutes before the decision.
WHAT?!?! 11:30 + 00:15 = 11:45, but decisions come out at noon?! They tend to release the decisons about 15 minutes early so that people view their decisions over a spread out period of time instead of destroying the servers at noon. In short, you'll know 15 minutes earlier than you currently plan to, so yay!
Good luck all, it's hard, but stop stressing and bugging out. Chill, have fun, and do something crazy ridiculous and write a blog entry about it to make people laugh. . . anything but worry about admissions decisions.

I just went through last year's "waiting to know about the decision" and "phooey I didn't get in" blog, http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/before/ helping_your_parents_through_this_process/its_ more_than_a_job.shtml, suggested by Ashesh, above.
That's actually really scary. High SAT scores, 14 AP tests by the time I graduate, Laser Quest addict and radiation-hormesis-supporting oddball. A one-in-seven chance of making it in. And I don't even have the excuses I had with some of the other application; my computer, which decided to crash, then burn out the monitor, then contact a virus, was working middling decently while I worked on the MIT application.
I think I'm just coming to terms with the idea that I really do have a one-in-seven chance of admittance. Wow. I mean . . . nothing really tragic if I don't get in; I'll go down to the local LQ and play left-handed for a while to relax. But it's starting to get to me, like having a small pebble in your shoe. Not bad, exactly, but dang it's uncomfortable.
Good luck, guys.
*Hoping, hoping, hoping . . . *
Posted by: Susan on March 12, 2007
Good luck to all, and know that I'm waiting with you as I'm sure many are. I've heard one of eight admissions decisions - that's my backup school. *Nervous* just doesn't seem to cut it. =)

Now I'm gonna be all twitchy.
You guys should totally give out decisions on Pi Day, that'd be so much more MIT-esque.

Anyways, Good Luck to everyone and try not to worry (like I undoubtedly will)

I'm excited to see who makes it, and I know I'll be just like you guys next March...unless by some miracle I make it EA ^_^ Only one person I know of applied to MIT at my school and we're gonna be at Science Olympiad when the news is out so I hope someone brings a laptop!!
Posted by: Rebecca Chang on March 12, 2007
Let's hope we all get in! and, all the best for your board exams!
Posted by: Atul on March 12, 2007
I know a lot of you are very talented and promising students, and I hope that those of you that will get the most out of it get in!!
As for what to do while waiting... I was VERY anxious and I didn't really eat a lot for like 2 weeks before decisions... I even dreamed I was rejected, but I was saying it like it was no big deal, and that's when everything just fell into place: I realized that no matter whether I got admitted, deferred or rejected (which is what I thought I'd get), life would go on, and I'd become a succesful student no matter where I went to. So don't feel bad if you don't get in -- at least you got the guts to give it a shot! If you don't get in, there's always a school that's also a good fit, if not a better one, so go and find it!!
And the most important thing... I know it's hard, but try to FORGET ABOUT MIT UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING! And I suggest the same thing Snively said, which is what I did, sort of. I went partying the night before, went to bed as late as I could, then my best friend woke me up to tell me I'd gotten in. (That's a good idea, if you think you couldn't stand to see a rejection just give a friend your password and have him/her check it for you.)
GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS!

Great advice, people; it seems to help.
Posted by: Chandresh on March 12, 2007
I probably won't have enough will power to follow it, but good advice all the same! haha.
But yeah, I just came back from my Senior Transitions Retreat and during my small group discussions, we gave each person affirmations and it was so comforting to know that so many of my classmates--even the ones that i don't know too well--were rooting for me to get in (even Mr. Engle the new pre-cal teacher who i never had nor ever spoke to before). God I love my classmates and its going to be sad to leave them next year! ok. sorry for that tangent, but I'm kind of emotional right now.
i guess i'm just saying that its nice to know that so many people are supportive of you.
so honestly guys, I am really rooting for you. I hope to meet you all next year, esp those who i kind of got to know on the blogs. I know that we all deserve to get in because we have worked so hard for it. Good luck to all you applicants!
and i know it might sound weird coming from someone you might not know, but really...good luck and all the best.
Posted by: Josh V on March 12, 2007
And Atul and the others from India : because the 'daylight saving time' starts (or ends - i can never figure out which) in the US at around this time, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting the results at 9: 30 pm IST...
And Atul, if we both get in, then i can be sure that there'll be atleast one other person in MIT who can speak my mother tongue!
All the best, all of you!

Posted by: Timothy on March 13, 2007
Utkarsh, I appreciate your positive spirit; however, while nearly all the applicants are very anxious, how come you are sooooo confident? May I please know your credentials, so that if you get admitted, at least, I'll have some benchmark, for knowing what it takes to get into MIT.
As far as I am concerned, all I can say is, I am very worried!

Posted by: vasanth on March 13, 2007
I can give you that benchmark right now: Do well in school, take hard classes, and don't bomb the SATs. Other than that, there's not much else to say. Based purely on the apps I've read of other EA admits, everything is so varied that to think that one person's app is the recipe needed just wouldn't work. There're painters, builders, robot people, music people, rowers, dancers, people that rock the AMC and AIME, people that hate math, pretty much everything.
It's all about the match, not entirely about the credentials.

Posted by: QuriousQreatures on March 13, 2007
All I could make out, was that probably you wanted to say that, one mustn't have poor SAT scores? Am I right?
By the way, I am an international applicant, and so for me only the SAT Subject Test scores, and the TOEFL scores count. I have perfect SAT Subject Test scores and, I think my TOEFL score is also very good, although it isn't perfect.
Posted by: QuriousQreature on March 13, 2007
I am trying my level best to stay away from the PC, but I don't why, all of sudden, I seem to have turned into an iron filing, and the PC a poweful horse-shoe magnet. This is probably because, I'll get to know my decision, obviously, using the PC.

Until then, EVERYONE ELSE - chillax, people! There's not much we could do after a certain point. Go ahead, do what Snively said - go and play Wii, watch movies, be random and carefree, or (in my and Cobra129's cases) debate international policy.
If you get into MIT, you should celebrate and just revel in the fact that you got into college!
You are still an awesome, qualified, talented person no matter what happens. Just remember that.
(As a thought, I think I'll postpone seeing my decision for a while... Just because I want to test my limits of self-endurance and not be bummed if it doesn't go my way.

I was in psychology(how ironic) and told my friend I was positive that I wasn't going to get in, and he said "Not with that attitude!". But then I realized it doesn't matter what my attitude is like. Somewhere in Cambridge, MA, Ben Jones and others have already marked my file. Nothing more can be done, except to sit back and accept that whether or not I get in, it will be for the best.
Good luck everyone and it's been one hell of a ride!

Could you please explain what bombing the SATs means, especially in terms of the scores?
Bombing pretty much means failing miserably, kinda like my Calculus final the other day.
hi!! one big question... decisions will also be mailed by traditional mail??? I really prefer to see the decision in paper...the problem is I am an international student... so, how long would it take for the decisions to arrive in europe... do you have any idea??? thanks!!! and good luck everyone!!!
The decisions are mailed out on the 16th. I'm not sure how long it takes to get to Europe, sorry, but they will mail paper decisions the day before the online decisions.
has the application tracking box (you know the one above the financial aid thing) from the my mit page been removed?
Yep. They figure that if by this point if you're missing anything they won't see it in time. No sense in tracking anymore.
Dear Michelle
What is Pi Day? Does it have something to do with
Л ?
It's an American thing. We write month/day/year and so on March 14th it's 3/14. . . hence pi day. It's also Einstein's birthday, funny enough, so people just act super geeky on March 14th. Happy day before pi day!

And to whoever asked about the "formula" for getting into MIT. There really isn't any. Everyone who applies probably gets good grades, decent SAT scores, etc. so there really isn't any way to know if you're "guaranteed" to be admitted.
And you know, no use wanting to know the "formula" now. At this point, everything's been sent in and it's out of our hands. And actually, all the decisions have probably been made by now so it's not even in AdCom's hands anymore. Hahaha. All we can do is wait and see what happens!
I still haven't told my parents that decisions are released this weekend. I figure this way it'll be easier to break it to them when I learn that I got rejected. Hahahaha. But really. I just didn't want them bugging me about it... saying "well, did you check yet? did you get in??" Ugh, that's the last thing I need at this time of brain exploding-ness.
Well, less than 4 days to go! Scary! Good luck guys!!

I wish we could all see each other waiting impatiently in front of our computers at 11:59am Saturday morning. And, for those of you who are planning on waiting for the letters' arrivals, I truly commend your patience, because, honestly, there is no way I could refrain myself from learning of my decision.
Good luck everyone!!

If thou art accused with all manner of false accusations; if thine enemies fall upon thee; if they tear thee from the society of thy father and mother and brethren and sisters; and if with a drawn sword thine enemies tear thee from the bosom of thy wife, and of thine offspring...and thine enemies prowl around thee like wolves for the blood of the lamb;
And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into the hands of murderers, and the sentence of death passed upon thee; if thou be cast into the beep; if the billowing surge conspire against thee; if fierce winds become thine enemy; if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good."
As much as I love experience...I pray I don't need to gain any from this.

decisions - so close, and yet SO FAR AWAY!!

Posted by: Ryan Marie on March 13, 2007
You know guys... we've all been thinking too much into the decisions now. Beyond a certain point, it becomes a little disturbing.
So, what I think is, that all of us should relax now... Working on MIT's application already was a big deal, so why not give yourselves a break now?
I've been trying to do the same, but yes, like all of you, even I've not been able to do much about my anxiety...
Decisions are something that we have no control of (atleast not after submitting all the stuff), so I think it would be better if we stopped thinking about whats going to happen, because in no way is that going to help.
So, instead of wondering about whats going to happen, do something creative. Go out for a walk, do some cycling, some jogging, whatever you love most. And if you're too geeky (like all of us in here), why not do some math/physics/chemistry?
Try this.
On a more philosophical note, remember that everything and anything that happens, happens for good.
Cheers everyone.

This blog is for all international applicants to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In glancing through the blogs on this page I have noticed that many of you are unaware of a change in the way that time is kept in the USA. As of this year, Daylight Savings Time, what most of the world refers to as Summer Time, started three weeks earlier than it has prior years. That’s right; Summer Time began during the Winter, go figure. Consequently, 1200 Noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Saturday March 17th will be about 1600 hours (4:00 PM) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and the local time in London. Similarly, it will be 5:00 in Paris and Madrid, 6:00 in Tel Aviv, 7:00 in Nairobi, 9:00 in Karachi, 9:30 in New Delhi, 9:45 in Kathmandu, 10:00 in Dhaka, 1200 Midnight in Beijing, 0100 hours (1:00 AM) on Sunday March 18th in Tokyo, and 4:00 in Auckland.
Best of luck to all applicants,

for those that are not in either of those time zones I'm sorry for the lack of dramatic effect, but you will have to add or subtract, time zones will not be automatically recognized...
P.S They are sneakily titled " p/v, sqrt(-1),t " Because my mother doesn't know I applied to MIT, and I dont want her to figure it out when she looks at my dashboard. I figured you guys wouldnt mind if I kept it.

There's a white screen, the flowers as the walpaper for the background and the word "ADMITTED" would be written on top in big font, and light green color, and with flowers surrounding it.....ha!....so beautiful....then it would be followed by the ususal letter congratualating the applicant...which the applicant would read at least a billion times.
OR..................
A black screen with a skull and bones,as its wallpaper, with the word "REJECTED" written in big nast "blood red color", with blod stains all over the screen, and the word "rejected" would be present on the top of a mountain made of skull and bones, and then (using some java applet) there will dark clouds, and lighting, taking place over the word "Rejected", and then there would be the usual consolation letter written, which no body would care to read. Even if the applicant would try and read it, they wouldn't be able to read it, because their eyes will turn into Niagra Falls.......sob....sob......sob......
I very desperately want to get admitted, I can't face that macabre scene!

calm... calm... calm... If i get rejected, im going to get 100's on everytest this year... A FACT! and if i get accepted, id probobly do the same... you know... keep MIT's reputation high.
who knows? thiers always EA next year. then transfer after that... or i can just go to the mit campus and pretend im a student... at least in the big classes...

Yeah, financial aid decisions are being sent with your acceptance letter through the mail. I think Daniel Barkowitz, the representative for the Financial Aid Dept. for the blog, mentioned that somewhere...
@firefox anon: Well, if reinstalling it didn't work, that probably means you have some program that's interfering with it. Try running Ad-aware or something. Did you download anything before that started happening?

I'm an open-source guy. My belief is that anybody who asks a question should have that question answered as accurately and promptly as possible. I think wikipedia is the greatest invention ever and linux rocks! Any question I know the answer to I try to answer or provide insight to help people out. I hope that other people try to help me when I ask a question.
And so, when somebody asks what an acceptance letter looks like, why say "It's got a cream background with a lot of words and stuff" when you can actually show them? You're cheating them that way.

Regarding why I didnt tell my mother that I applied to MIT...
She is a college proffessor and has her own business as a college admissions counsellor. She does both very well, but given that she is mother, it was a little hard to deal with. We developed a fitting college application plan that I stuck to. But by the time december rolled around I was feeling "rebellious" and decided to add MIT to (the top of) my list and not tell her. Oh, and I redirected ALL my college mail to my dads house.
Lets just leave it at that.

Thank you so much for writing this. I was referred to this page by another applicant (we seem to be all huddling up to await the day of truth) in the midst of great anxiety and panic. Honestly, I have to say that if all of the admissions officers felt as you do, I would be able to accept whatever decision came my way with a smile.

The World Is What You Like To Think It Is
Socrates was sitting outside of the gates of Athens. A man came up to him and said, “I am thinking about moving into Athens. Can you please tell me what it is like to live here?” Socrates replied, “I would be happy to tell you, but first would you please tell me what it was like in your previous home city?” The man roared, “Oh, it was awful. The people stab you in the back and rob you blind. I am leaving only enemies”. Socrates frowned and continued, “Well, you best be on your way because you will find the same thing here in Athens”.
Later another man stopped to speak to Socrates and inquired, “I was considering moving here to Athens. Can you tell me what it is like to live here?” Socrates asked the visitor: “First tell me, what was it like in your previous home city?” The man smiled and said, “Where i come from the people all work together and help each other. Kindness is everywhere and you are never treated with anything but the utmost respect”. “Welcome to Athens”, smiled Socrates, “You will find the same thing here”.
The world is what we think it is. The outside is a reflection of our inner self. If we look at the negative side of things, then our outlook would be bleak. And if we are an optimistic we would feel that positive things surround us everywhere. The first person had negative traits whereas the second person had everything good to say about his home city.
Most situations in our life can be seen as a relationship interaction, be it a personal relationship such as internal dialogues, or our dealings with a friend, family member, or co-worker. All things around us are merely reflections of our self-emanations. If we learn to live our lives with this understanding, then we have no one to blame for our lives. Usually we want to blame other people and the outside world for everything. The physical world is a projection of our beliefs and feelings which we then think is “reality”. As a man thinks, so he becomes.
To take charge of our lives, we have to go within and become intensely honest with ourselves about ourselves. Start accepting that whatever comes to us comes because we have attracted it with thoughts, beliefs and feelings. We can take charge of our lives by taking charge of our thoughts, beliefs, feelings and tendencies.
Belief is the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish. A person who believes he is worth little, receives little. If you believe you are unimportant, so everything you do has an unimportant mark. As time goes by, lack of belief in ourselves shows in the way we talk, walk, act. Unless we readjust our thermostat, we shrink in our own estimation. And, since others see in us what we see in ourselves, we grow smaller in the estimation of others.
You are a product of your thoughts. When you adjust your thermostat, you move forward. When you believe in yourself, good things do start happening. Your mind is a conception workshop producing numberless thoughts. You have to explore your inner self, “Think doubt and fail; Think victory and succeed”.
so plz stop telling u r waiting fr big rejection letter if it was so u wud hav never applied to MIT

3. Waitlisted - We are somewhat close to believe whatever you had said, but again, we had found already someone whom we believe to be true.

Thanks for giving us clue of how the admission page will look like. I just logged into my account 2 days ago to confirm my ability to receive online decision, all I saw was a simple page with two lines of text confirming that I will be able to receive decisions. Man , I couldn't make a connection between how an admission decision would be posted on such a dull page.
Anyway, anyone who has page that shows you have been denied?

I think that the parent, who used harsh tone against you, in the post, must not actually have been some parent, rather he/she may have been your rival, who may be highly jealous, because you got into MIT, and probably he/she didn't.
This is quite obvious, because parents, are parents; they are mature enough to understand that any teenager, who gets into MIT, would be extremely happy, and would very gladly show his/her admission letter to others. Moreover, you were just helping QQ, shed his funny preconceived notions. This act full of helpfulness, obviously, doesn't amount to any kind of show-off; you were just gratifying QQ's curiosity!
I am with you!

Every year MIT takes on average three students from Pakistan, excluding the students, who are US citizens or residents living in Pakistan. So, although last year 5-6 Pakistanis got into MIT, but only three were selected among international students, rest all were in the US resident and citizen category.

"Susan essenya, ohtar meletya" means "My name is Susan, a mighty warrior." I like it simply because it is one of the few grammatically correct Elven phrases I know. Most of the time I have to fudge it. So while I theoretically could say something like "Tower under the rising moon" (Minas-nuin-Isthil) it wouldn't be grammatically correct at all. Plus, I have no idea what the rules are for plural vs singular.
Namarie and good luck!

MIT..are tou not in your senses kanika, this place is not for people like you..well,i can atleast see what the application looks like and then i saw the words that read..
" WE ARE A MERITOCRACY..
WHERE WE JUDGE EACH OTHER BY OUR IDEAS, OUR CREATIVITY, AND OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, NOT BY WHO OUR FAMILIES ARE ..
WHERE THE CURRENCY IN TRADE IS INTELLIGENCE.."
And then in an almost deranged state of mind , with all five fingers of my hand flip flopping inside my mouth ,three streaks of hair that fell over my eyes concealing my view of the letters on the application and a facial expression like that of an ordinary monk who had just discovered that he is the reincarnation of Lord Buddha,I dropped a tear (why..i dont know)which further blurred my view . .
Rarely does life present itself in a manner as candid as this, rarely does one experience a gush of adrenalin so strong that it gives you the might to surpass all that holds you back and go forth like a knight in shining armour to grab all that you ever dreamt about .
It was a moment for me ..like the dawn of ethereal wisdom..might seem starnge to most but this moment has been my only motivation . I am reiterating this fact for probably a millionth time ..i've mentioned it on my essays , posted on the blogs(and i am doing it again..lolzz)..blah..blah..that , " I had finally found a place where i do not have to be anybody but me , where innovation is not lulled into silence , where i do not have to do things just because they have to be done ..MIT , is my future foretold ..as concrete as reality.."
But , MIT for me is not the destination , rather it will be the most magnificent station(my vocab often fails me when i try expressing what i hold closest to my heart..)in my journey towards my ultimate goal in life , the place that will provide the right propensities for me to planet success and if..if ..(i wish i am wrong ) i do not make it ..life will find its course ..never will i let it come to a halt . It will be traumatic and i know i will cry rivers but amidst all those tears i will search for yet another moment like the one i just described before..and then , i realize that life just presented itself in yet another candid form .

Campus police aren't a part of the hacks. In fact, a couple of supposed hackers just got caught by the CP a couple of weeks ago and are having charges pressed against them. As for the fire truck. . .
I know that when they did the police car they only had a shell of the car and took it up to the dome in pieces. Apparently there's a trapdoor to the dome and you just slide the pieces through.
Hacks are basically harmless pranks that are designed to look impossible or completely outrageous because MIT is full of engineers that come up with solutions to impossible problems. Cars on buildings, logos on skylights, and countless other crazy-hard tasks. The trick is to just NOT GET CAUGHT!

and freaked out parent: IF you are a parent, be warned NOW that i have dealt with lots of drama queens, and that you should absolutely be ashamed of what you said, I too am open sourced, heck... i put all of my papers, complete with grades and the like online, even my books, I believe linux beats all, i never have bought a book for classes in my life, i always check them out in the library scan them, and use that. Also, i do the same thing with the highly valued instructor solutions manuals to all my classes. I believe i shouldnt have to pay for a damn thing. and that every question i ask should be answered using the services OF something thats free... and when i say free... i mean quality free. I math tutor EVERYONE at ANYTIME for free... i once tutored a person till 2 in the morning on an amtrak buss! So judging by your post, your son was probobly so distraught or something... if he/she (45% of MIT's applicants will be female ) didnt like knowing people got accepted EA then, well... i wont go thier, however... i see nothing wrong with it...
lissa whittaker:
If you get accepted to MIT, i will absolutely never forgive MIT for thier incredible dullness in applicants. Just looking at this pool I see many applicants that will amount to great things, that are going to MIT for pretty much the reasons you have decided to humiliate them. You are now out of high school. This doesnt work anymore. I personally will probobly find ill have more of a social life thier than anywhere else. And if MIT is your back up, well... more the same. you must be a harvey (harvard original).
and these posts, especially the 'silly and pathetic' ones, are designed to take people like me, and you; and turn our mind from the impending judge down the long hall, and distract us, think more injoyable. We have litterally, no lives till saturday at noon.
at which two drasticly different roots could be found, at first during EA it was a x^3 graph with roots at X = deffered X = addmited X = denied
now, we have synthetically devided by deferred and are left with a X^2 polynomial, with roots: X = accepted and X = denied. now, all we are doing is using the Quadratic formula.
with saturday at knoon being the Yintercept...
now all we have to do is figur out which one is imaginary.
(I know I know! imaginary roots come in pairs, just imagine... that this one time, that one is imaginary, and the other is real)

Lissa Whittaker:
Many of us consider MIT our first choice and are very tense while waiting for Saturday. The last thing we need is someone telling us condescendingly that we are "pathetic."
We don't need your criticism - we need support and distraction. I think that that is implied from these posts, both in quantity and in message. It is a subtle detail, but noticeable nonetheless.
I would recommend being a bit more sensitive in the future.
Congratulations on getting into your first choice college; I wish the rest of us will have the same level of success on Saturday.

Why you all....?
For what... ...?
I know, I know... nobody's listening now. And ladies and gentleman he we unravel the difference between imagination and actuality. I missed my train toady so, after typing this, I will go to the station to cancel my tickets. Ahh! I feel so much peace. Why I don't know.

You know what, everybody is getting philosopher+psychologist+metaphysics, teenagers behaving like monks. Christ!! If they are not allowed to be impossible at this age then when? It is becoming a sorry story. They must show they have more nerves, to handle such kind of things. Jessus, if you are cracking at this stage, then how gonna you cope with bigger possibilities. Reading a few books on metaphysics and using them, will not express the quality, that comes form actuality.

Some interesting information could come to you from a distant state or foreign country, dear _________. This could induce some pretty deep thinking, leading to decisions that could actually alter the course of your life in some way. You might be considering returning to school and advancing your education. Your mood today should be optimistic and positive, and you could be full of utopian schemes for the future. Wait a few days, then start to make definite plans.
