Thank you MIT for accepting me! I called my mom and she started crying. I spent 20 minutes after the decision was posted trying to get myself to look, and I’m so happy now.
To answer Emily’s question, I’m from Colorado.

Hi All, Congrats with your acceptance.
Will someone who get accepted share about the achievements? Essay?
Thanks.
Chicago anyone?
Congrats, everyone! Be sure to come to CPW, even if you’re pretty sure that you’ll be going to school here.
Also, I don’t suppose there’s anyone from Massachusetts (specifically, the Metrowest area) who got in?
Hi everyone! I’d just like to congratulate everyone! I knew this day would be one of the best ever or one of the worst ever–and I’m proud to say that it has been the best! I’m from Massachusetts (South Shore) and I look forward to meeting everyone!!!
Oh my gosh! Congrats everyone! MIT admissions team, thank you for all of your hard work!
I’m from Colorado and I am sooooo excited to be accepted! I cannot wait to meet everyone!
I apply RA but still, it’s wonderful your happiness.Gosh…It has to be wonderful.
Guys, I am wondering if can answer few of my questions.
I’m international. I’m extremely pasioned about computers but the truth is that grades have never been important for me. I’m not best in school, I don’t have awesome GPA, I haven’t win any contests, I don’t have 800 at SAT.
But I’m really involved in programming. I’ve already written few computer games and I two of my games were published in shops. Do you think it is worth something? And also, I think my essay is great…
If anyone want to share his experience, please write on skype: moriquendi93
@Ari: I’m Philly, too!!! This is gonna be great
Great job everyone! Go nuts tonight!
I’m from Scotland and will hopefully be at the CPW. See you all there!
I’m so thankful to God right now for His favor. Look forward to seeing you guys at CPW! Now back to reality.
God bless,
Josh
Congrats everyone!!
I’m Aaron from South Texas. I cannot wait to spend the next four, grueling years with you all.

also: hi guys! i’m from the philippines but a us citizen! was wondering if any admissions officer could tell me if you guys will still mail a tube over here? chris?
@Moriquendi: Don’t worry! Just put all your effort in the application
I am international as well. I am a Palestinian American, so i got the chance to apply early and fortunately got in. Although I have a high GPA, i dont have 800’s on my SAT’s neither did i build a robot, but I am very passionate about a lot of things and that gave me a chance to get in MIT. Hopefully it will get you in too! GOOD LUCK!
@Lauren

Congratulations to all of you. You must be a really remarkable group of students. Hopefully when March rolls around I’ll be among the lucky few EA deferred folk who get admitted RD.

I’M SO EXCITED TO MEET ALL OF YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!!
Congradulations everyone, we did it! I can’t wait to get acquainted with you all. It’ll be nice being around people who are as passionate as I am about math, science, technology, and engineering.
I’m from northern Virginia.
And to answer the questions of all you hopefulls:
I got a 1900 on the SAT and got in. It’s not purely about test scores, gpa, articulated essays, and doing a quota of activities. It’s about who you are as a person, and your passion. It’s like the admission’s staff says, “it’s about who you are as a whole, there is no set formula for getting in”. Everything you do defines who you are, you shouldn’t go through high school trying to be someone you aren’t to get into a school. You should do what you want to do, and get into a school because you did what made you happy. If you spend all of high school doing things that you think will get you into a particular school, then you are doing it wrong. If you don’t get into MIT, then it’s just not a good fit for you. Where ever you go, you’ll be happy and it’ll be a good fit for you. Best of luck to all those awaiting regular decision, and to all those rejected/ deferred. Whatever school you end up going to, you’ll be happy about there.
A little about me:
I build robots for fun. I also enjoy learning math and science concepts, and occasionally take complex math/ science problems given to me and solve them for the pure joy of problem solving. I hate failure, and strive to do well in school because I want to. Never in high school have I done something because I thought it would get me into college. I went through the whole high school experience doing what I wanted to, and enjoyed myself; never doing something because it would get me into a particular school.
I’m from a little town in Missouri and this is all so exciting. This is so amazing. I’m soooooo excited!!!!
Thank you so much, MIT!! I love you!!!!!!
I am from Pittsfield, Mass. I’m so excited!!!
Congratulations Everyone!
Congratulations everybody! I’m so excited to meet all of you. Anyone else still freaking out nearly twelve hours after hearing the news?
@Andrew – I’m about an hour north of the city in a small town called Wauconda. Let’s go Illinois admits!
I am super psyched about this! I’m actually still a little dazed…While I still might apply to other colleges, the pressure is definitely off and I look forward to sporting a shiny brass rat! Best wishes to all, and see you at CPW!
To answer previous questions, yes I did also get that in my letter, I’m from Nebraska, and I am still freaking out 12+ hours after the news. :3
hohohoho
Hey future classmates! I’m Gerardo and I’m so excited to go to MIT!
I’m from Baltimore, Maryland
Can’t wait to meet yall!
I just don’t know how you guys can feel right about being accepted to MIT.
I mean, knowing how unfair and discriminatory the MIT admissions process is, how could you build a life and career based on an MIT education which rightfully belonged to someone else. Someone who had better grades and better SAT/ACT scores. How can you live with that? How can you live with an MIT* education …
m_quinn
m_quinn, no.
Just, no.
None of the participants in this thread will fall for that — they’re sharp enough to see the holes in that statement.
@m_quinn
Everybody here deserved it, what some of us didnt have in grades and tests we obviously made up in something else. Now stop ruining our joy and go somewhere else.
I am beyond excited to get a tube, ohmygoodness. What a great day.
For everyone who didn’t get the chance join the MIT Class of 2016 group page!
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! I’m Sheela and I live 12 miles away from MIT, but I’m just as excited as everyone to go there!!!!!!
Oh, by the way (small survey) …
Any of you African American?
Any of you Native American?
Any of you from South Dakota?

@m_quinn
The attitude you are displaying on our thread may be the exact reason you didn’t get in. MIT doesn’t just want top students, they want top students with GREAT character. That’s why they go through making us have the two letters as well as the interview. They don’t want kids that just rattle off about how great they are or their GPA, Class Rank, or extracurricular activities. They want people that will make the Institution look good. I pray while you attend college wherever you go that you’ll open your eyes . . .
Hey I’m Janelle from Logan Township, New Jersey. Can’t wait to see you all at CPW (:
Hola!
(Still checking the website to make sure it wasn’t a mistake)
I’m Nick, also from Dallas. (@Jonathon – what school? I go to Townview)
It’s past 2AM here in Nigeria, and I still have so much energy. Let’s go, CPW!
