YAYA!!!
Wawa, we are even closer neighbors... I go to Westside here in Houston

Is anyone else having this "zomg sdlkflkjl (hits keyboard) skljaflkdsfa" feeling?!?!!!

Posted by: jl on December 9, 2006

YAY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS '11s!

Posted by: Christina on December 9, 2006

I was going to post a comment about "class of 'B" being incorrect, since B is hex for 11, but the actual year is 2011, and it doesn't translate into the same number of digits. But when I actually calculated it, I found that the hex equivalent of 2000 (base 10) is 7D0, which means that 2011 (base 10) would be 7DB (base 16). So congratulations Alex, you were right, and I don't get to give you a hard time about it. =P

Posted by: James Eastwood on December 9, 2006

AWB, we're neighbors! Where are you from?

Congratulations everyone!!

Posted by: Jess on December 9, 2006

Posted by: Daniel on December 9, 2006

"zomg sdlkflkjl (hits keyboard) skljaflkdsfa" indeed. A friend of mine that goes to my school got admitted too! Nobody will believe us, HA! Yay MIT! I'm assuming we all played the "Flip through every page of the phone book, e-mail everybody, almost break the cell phone, blog like there's no tomorrow" game, seeing as we're all posting on here right now. I think this a good place to say:

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!1!1!!! GAHH!!!! LOL NO MORE COLLEGE APPLICATION ESSAYS!!!1!11!

Posted by: 0 on December 9, 2006

Congratulations everyone! I hope you all join us up here in Cambridge next year (it's really cold, but I swear it's amazing anyway). When I got in EA last year, it was probably the happiest day of my life, so I hope a lot of you are feeling that same euphoria. Go out and enjoy it. Celebrate with your friends! And try not to slack off too much, now that you already know you've gotten in here and it's only December. . . .

Posted by: Colin on December 9, 2006

Posted by: dally on December 9, 2006

Hi,All, Congrats!

I actually knew I would be accepted to the class of 2011 as far back as almost 6 weeks ago when I submitted my EA application. Do you people know that my church has prayed earnestly for me to get in MIT since then?

I am not trying to be religious here, but there is a God Whom I have trusted whole my life opening for me the path He had designed for me even before the founfation of the world!

Thanks to all the admissions officers and stuff, too!!

Posted by: C.K. on December 9, 2006

Hi Everyone!! I'm Sam from Pennsylvania and I am sooooooooooooooo excited to get in to MIT! I can't wait to meet you all! I've wanted to go to MIT since I was so little, and it's a dream come true! I want to be an astronaut and a cardiothoracic surgeon so MIT will totally help me get on that path!! Talk to you all soon!

Posted by: Sam! on December 9, 2006

Any Oregon people? I know of 2. It'd be interesting to see how many were accepted from our humble little state.

Posted by: Snively on December 9, 2006

Hey everyone! So excited to be accepted - I wasn't sure if I'd be a good fit, but I guess MIT thought I would be.

Congratulations to everyone else who was accepted, I can't wait to meet you all (hopefully) next fall.

I'm from Milwaukee, WI - anyone from nearby? I'm hoping I'm not the only Wisconsinite to get accepted!

Also, anyone on facebook? I vote that we start a "potential MIT '11" group or something so we can get to know each other better! If one doesn't exist yet, I'll start one tonight.

Congratulations again to everyone, I know that it'll be incredible!

Posted by: Alie on December 9, 2006

Hey Dmitar, this is Michael from TX Math Talent Search and the A&M tournament. Congrats. I guess I'll see you at MIT if I can find some way to afford it.

BTW, another TX admit here. Cement Capital of, Texas.

Posted by: Michael on December 9, 2006

Hahaha. I'm so happy!

Now I have to take my economics final. Let's hope the high won't wear off.

If you're from Houston, where do you go to school? And if you're on Texas ARML, you better IM me.

Posted by: MithsApprentice (i.e. Daniel) on December 9, 2006

Posted by: Dimitar on December 9, 2006

I'm an Okie, originally from China

Posted by: Jean-Louis on December 9, 2006

Anyone from the Atlanta area here?

Posted by: Daniel on December 9, 2006

That's rather unfair, C.K. If the admissions committee chose Daniel/MithsApprentice, I'm sure he'll do wonderfully at MIT or anyplace else.

Posted by: Emily on December 9, 2006

jillian and andrea

i live in Centreville! Jillian, i live very close to you!

Posted by: jas on December 9, 2006

Yeah...C.K. Daniel is probably one of the coolest people you'll ever meet (he's a personal friend of mine) and he'll do fine at any school smile

Posted by: Dimitar on December 9, 2006

Alie,
I'm not from Wisc but I am from Minnesoooooooooota along with my friend Ola who also got in (we go to the same school). And yes, I'll DEFINITELY be interested in joining the Facebook group! Just let me know when you make it!

P.S. Go Vikings!

Posted by: Ian on December 9, 2006

I don't think CK meant that as an insult. But thanks for the support Dim and Emily.

Anyway, MIT is definitely one of my top choices. I won't know where I'd like to go until after Admit Weekends in April. But insiders say MIT does a great program with their CPW. So it should be exciting. And it'll be fun to meet you all.

(And CK, how did you know I was homeschooled? AoPS?)

Posted by: Mith on December 9, 2006

Is there anyone from Maryland here?

Posted by: Cereal on December 9, 2006

Hey guys... I know it's a little late to get here, I've been going crazy... yeah. Hey Zaira & Dan from MITES... (yes this is that Isaac.) I'm from upstate NY (near the PA border).

Posted by: Isaac on December 9, 2006

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *dies from happiness*

I'm so mad, now I have to go play in an orchestra concert and my hands are going to be shaking from the excitement and I won't be able to play!

P.S.-Cereal, I'm from Maryland, we should have a Marylander party next August!

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! GO '11ers!!!

Posted by: Tina on December 9, 2006

Is it okay if I submit video slides for consideration by the admissions committee.

Posted by: Solomon on December 9, 2006

Brittany and Cereal:
I'm from Maryland as well! Howard County?? I haven't heard of anyone else from my area who's gotten in...

Alie: I'd be interested in joining a facebook group, I'll be on the lookout for it :D

Anyways... Hey everyone, I'm Jenny.. I'm from Maryland, I'm interested in studying computer science or some sort of engineering I think, and I love playing volleyball. MIT is my top choice by far and I am sooooo excited to have been accepted!!!

Posted by: Jenny on December 9, 2006

hey congrats,
i know this is a really hard school to get into but i think i have what it takes, however i haven't done anything with an interview yet. Am I unable to apply or is there something i can do?

Posted by: austin on December 9, 2006

Hello, Isaac (that Isaac). =D

Posted by: Zaira on December 9, 2006

Congrats everyone!

Also, I don't think it's going to be a tube again this year; I mean, it was one last year, why would they do that again? (not that I know anything.)

Posted by: Marcella on December 9, 2006

To Samiur: Haha i'm still giddy

To Marcella: You already got your tube in the mail?? I didn't think the tubes would be mailed out until Dec. 15.

To Bianca: I heard that when we get the acceptance letter in the mail, we get a "fat packet" with info about dorms and stuff (it's not in the tube hehe) haha i can't wait for that packet and my tube to make things more concrete for me!

Posted by: Roseanne on December 9, 2006

Yay for getting-in-ness!

Boo for not being able to throw out all my other apps cause I have to wait for financial aid offers and all that stuff.

Any linguistics/bioengineering geeks in the house?

Posted by: Kelly on December 10, 2006

Kelly: Haha, "getting-in-ness", I like that. And I agree about the ickiness of not being able to forget all other apps cuz of financial aid. I'm thinking about minoring in linguistics...I dunno, I feel like I wanna major/minor in everything at MIT haha

Posted by: Roseanne on December 10, 2006

Mith,

You are right about my afternoon post. I don't mean anything insult at all by asking if you have decided to go ahead to go to MIT. I heard about you indirectly a lot recently. I am actually thinking to hire you to tutor my younger sibling math for I have heard you tutoring students of Fort Bend ISD. And they all say you are superly super. I also admire your guts to homecshool yourself for high schoo and on, actually I was homeshooled by myself a lot and by my mom a tiny bit. Oh, and my mom says you are a boy with both guts and a good brain. She wonders how your parents can raise you so cool and outstanding.

You will be doing very well along whichever path you choose to take. Please receive my solute!!!

Posted by: C.K. on December 10, 2006

Congratulations to all u guys!!!

Posted by: Shashank on December 10, 2006

hi brian and sara! (and everyone else!)

i just wanted to let you guys know that there's another local that got in... i live in Norton, MA (about 40 minutes south of boston), and my dad brought me the tube in the middle of my track meet today, and of course, i immediately started jumping up and down, running around to find and tell everyone i knew. needless to say, it took a while for me to calm down lol...brian, we're right in the TVL with you, do you play any sports?

Posted by: Stacey on December 10, 2006

What is in the tube? Just the poster? I'm in California so I think it'll be awhile before I get mine...

Posted by: amanda on December 10, 2006

Posted by: Carlos on December 10, 2006

It's still sinking in...i'm still freaking out. From IN, anyone else?

Posted by: Miel on December 10, 2006

Congrats to all those accepted, seems to be so many people from Texas. Me and two other guys from my school applied, one accepted, me and the other deferred. Hope to see you there in Fall '07, but I guess I'll know in March.

Posted by: Bryan on December 10, 2006

Oh and I forgot. Congrats to everyone. I'll be seeing you guys next year.

Posted by: Tuan on December 10, 2006

To that question about majors/minors being considered. I am considering as a major: Course 6 (definitely doing this), course 18 (maybe a double), course 9(seems pretty cool), and as a minor course 14. Oh man this is so unreal! I can't wait to see everybody!

Posted by: Phillippe on December 10, 2006

Hey- Congratulations to all! When you're thinking of a major, don't forget about SHASS (School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences)! I work in grad admin in PoliSci (17)- it's a great department. The undergraduate admin people are fantastic and there's always cookies and candy in the office!

I can't wait to get aquainted with all of you. Don't be afraid to contact me on facebook or myspace(soon to be completed). See you all in the fall!

Posted by: Desiree on December 10, 2006

Stacey, yes we are in TVL together, I play baseball hockey and football, you guys beat us in overtime this year, it was a great game...

Posted by: Brian on December 10, 2006

Hey guys, congratulations to all! I don' know if I am the only one, but the implications of this letter haven't really hit me. I mean when i read the letter i was kind of like, hmm... i got in. =].

Anyway looking forward to meeting you all and living in the wonderful city of Boston!

Hey - congrats everyone! When I first read the acceptance letter, I thought maybe there was a computer glitch and it was all a mistake! Yesterday was DEFINATELY the happiest day of my life!!!!! Two of my friends also got in (we all go to the same HS - Ransom in Miami) and we did some major celebrating last night. Anyone else from around the South Florida area? WOW - MIT!!!!!! I'm at the Dolphins/Patriots game now (obviously, a huge Patriots fan).

Posted by: Rosie on December 10, 2006

Hey Rosie! I'm from Miami. I go to Palmetto. Wow, 3 kids, that's insane. I heard last year that Ransom sends kids to top schools, but 3 in one go to MIT? Very cool!

Hi Anne! I remember you, and I was on the bus that waited an hour for everyone else.
And Andrea is from ME, not EECS.

Posted by: Veronica on December 10, 2006

I was deferred, i have been crying since yesterday
afternoon, i have not eaten any food since then.
I hope to get in in March. I'm going back to sleep.
For those who were admitted-congrats.

Hey brittany - my band is going to Disney to play that week too. but i think we're leaving the sunday after CPW

I'm from topsfield, MA which is 30 min north of boston so i'm pretty psyched to get to go to school in my favorite city ever

Posted by: Jillian R on December 10, 2006

Hey Veronica! Wheeee. Do you have a facebook? ... there's that WTP 2006 group ... some ME are in it, but I don't think you are. The EECSers started it though so it may have traveled slowly to ME. Anyway yeah, wow, what a summer eh?

And to the deferred - don't worry; RD will be yet another round and if you guys have the initiative to apply early then you are probably up to par for admission! good luck guys!

Posted by: Anne on December 10, 2006

Jenny- I go to Reservoir (I'm the first one to apply from my school). I actually would have gone to River Hill before redistricting. My sister went there, and one of her best friends from River Hill goes to MIT now.

Posted by: sam on December 10, 2006

Phillippe - three people got in EA from my school last year. Needless to say, we didn't stop celebrating for a long, long time.

I remember how excited I was when I got in - the smile on my face didn't go away for days. Congratulations again to all of you!

Posted by: Keri on December 10, 2006

Oh and all the things you dreamed of,
All the visions that you saw,
Well the time is drawing near now,
It’s yours to claim and own!

I absolutely LOVE this song (hey, I'm a Disney dork, and I'm proud of it!).

These lyrics just seem to fit *right now*. I thought I'd post them.

Posted by: Melissa H on December 10, 2006

Congratulations to everyone who got in!!! I am so excited (now that it has sunk in...) and can't wait for CPW to go up there again!

Any other gymnasts get accepted early? = )

(Virginia Beach area by the way...)

P.S. There is no shame in being a Disney dork

sam - lol facebook me sometime. Jenny Li. I probably know your sister's friend.. I know I think everyone from River Hill who's going to MIT right now...

man I'm still stoked. I checked again today just to make sure I was still accepted :p

last year no one got accepted early, and two got in regular. this year I think I'm the only one who got in early...

Posted by: Jenny on December 10, 2006

Miel, I'm from IN too!! I visited MIT last month and found like 2 other Indiana people, I'm so excited to find another Hoosier who was admitted! I'm from Hobart (I go to Andrean), about forty minutes out of Chicago. You?
YAY for everyone who got admitted. I'm so excited!!

This is definitely exciting to see all of us posting and already finding stuff in common (ok we're all high schoolers I guess it's to be expected..). Out of curiosity, are there any other Jersey-ites (Jersey-ans? Jersey-ooligans?) out there? Trumpeters? Ultimate disc players?

Definitely, everyone hit up the facebook group -- might be easier to track communications once this thread gets crammed.

I'm from the Atlanta-ish area, Roswell to be exact (Roswell HS). Rachael from Roswell HS got in too (she went to MITES, some of you might know her).

There are a lot of people from Maryland! Wow! A lot of my family lives in Maryland. I'm waiting for the Orioles to come back around. Any year now...

Congrats to everyone! And I didn't wake up and find out everything was a dream! Yessss!

Posted by: maia on December 10, 2006

Haha, it looks like everyone who was admitted commented on this blog!

I was deferred and I doubt I will be accepted. I'm looking forward to the other schools I applied to as well.

Hey everyone, I created a group on facebook - it's called "Potential MIT class 2011". It's a global group, everyone feel free to join. Even if you don't have a facebook, you can sign up for free (www.facebook.com) and then we can start building a network.

Also, there's a group called "I want to go to MIT!" if anyone'd like to join that.

I really really hope that I can get to know some of you better before next fall! Congratulations to everyone!

Posted by: Alie on December 10, 2006

Anyone else from Nebraska?

Posted by: Todd on December 10, 2006

I would really like to know what you guys think helped you get in that the deferred students can still do to help their applications (is there anything we can still send in to MIT that would help with regular admission?)? Anyone from the admitted category wish to spread your wisdom to us "deferred" students??? smile

Posted by: Anonymous on December 11, 2006

Anyone else think it's odd that the accepted thread is longer than the deferred one?

Posted by: Bilal on December 11, 2006

MITES is the Minority Intro to Engineering and Science? I think... it's a summer program at MIT, I looked into it but only got the information for it long after the application deadline, unfortunately.

The admitted is probably longer because the admits are all crazy excited (and probably not planning on doing homework or essays and such for a while, and are thus bouncing around the 'nets), and the deferred may not have thought to come back to the MIT blogs...

Posted by: Grant on December 11, 2006

I'd just like to point out to everyone...
If you sign in to your myMIT account, there's a new section, with a nifty letter from the Dean of Admissions and a cool guestbook entry system where you can put some info about yourself and a picture for all the other admitted students to see and stuff.

just thought it was cool

Posted by: Jenny on December 11, 2006


Hay,
CONGRATS EVERYONE!
i applied Regular
so cant wait to join you guys
Elizabeth Tsai? Is it true?
WoW! you got in that young!!!
I'm impressed

Posted by: Daniel on December 11, 2006

Hi Ko!

Haha... Same here. I also applied as Regular Action. Congratulations to those who are accepted!

Guys, wish me all the best. ÜÜÜ I really desire to get into MIT as well. It's one of my dreams. Ü ;D God bless everyone!

Posted by: Paul Averilla on December 11, 2006

just out of curiosity, is anyone else who got admitted from new mexico like me?

Posted by: Mike Anaya on December 11, 2006

go california!

Posted by: Carly on December 11, 2006

i feel really strange. first of all, because i got denied to the MITES program, but then admitted early action to MIT. secondly because it seems like everyone else went somewhere where getting into MIT was not an unusual thing, and none of the counselors at my high school can remember anyone getting in from here.

Posted by: Mike Anaya on December 11, 2006

wow Mike that's awesome. It's a big deal where I live to get into MIT - all 5 people from our rival school got deferred, and I believe I'm the only one to get in early this year. Last year only two got accepted, but then we also have a lot of top students who apply to places like Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc. and CONGRATS to being the hero of your high school :D

Posted by: Jenny on December 11, 2006

Snively, maybe we're the only two people from Oregon that even applied Early Action.

Posted by: Michelle on December 11, 2006

Yay for MITES rejections, but MIT EA admittances!

Posted by: Ian on December 11, 2006

Wow, superb feelings it must be to be in your consign guys, limitless congratulations to everyone! I am enormously curious to know if there has been any person from Mexico or Mexican heritage being admitted. To those rejected, the position of a star does not matter, what matters is that it shines everywhere!

Also, to those deferred, don't give up hope!

PS I too was a gymnast, although I don't compete in it anymore. If I get in, though, we can flip together =)

finally congrats to all who got admitted.

Posted by: shabie on December 11, 2006

XX such language is not good and I don't really know why you posted that. Please don't do it again so that we can all enjoy ourselves here.
Don't spoil the good mood of the admitted ones.
