We are pleased to announce that MIT Regular Action admissions decisions will be made available online on Saturday, March 14 at 2:00 PM EDT... actually, we’ll probably have decisions posted a minute before 2pm.
What is the process for receiving my admissions decision?
Receiving your decision online is as easy as pi. When decisions are released Saturday at 1:59pm, simply visit 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 are ready to receive your decision online before logging in to decisions.mit.edu.
Admissions decisions will be available exclusively online. (Following the release of admissions decisions, we will be mailing necessary materials to admitted students.)
To ensure that you will receive a decision online, please visit decisions.mit.edu and enter your username and password. Decisions.mit.edu will be available this week for applicants to confirm their login ability and decision eligibility.
What if I've forgotten my MyMIT password?
You may use our automated system to reset it. Simply visit my.mit.edu and click on the lost password link in the orange log-in box on the left. If you're having trouble using our automated username/password recovery process, or if you've forgotten your username, please email mymitpassword@mit.edu with your full name and mailing address. We'll use this information to locate you in our system and reset your password within a few days.
What if I don't have a MyMIT account?
This year, we will only be announcing decisions online, so if you haven't created a MyMIT account, make sure to create one so you can find out your admissions decision. 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. If you register without your MIT ID, your username and password may not work on decisions.mit.edu.
I wish you all the best!

For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.
It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?
Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.
Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

The link in Matt's post (decisions.mit.edu) leads to:
https://decision.mit.edu/
which lacks an "s" on decision.
The link should lead to:
https://decisions.mit.edu/
which has an "s".
So, just just change the url a bit to get to the site.

I'd be curious to see a cumulative plot of the percentage of applicants who log in to my.mit in the minutes and hours following the release of decisions.
Do such statistics exist, and is the Admissions staff expecting a sudden surge in downtime? It would make a dominant blog entry.

More importantly, decisions don't come out until Saturday! So just have fun until then! Read a manga or something! One Piece is my personal favorite!

The work is done, the stage is set,
The decisions are made, not released yet,
We did our part, don’t you fret,
What you deserve, you will undoubtedly get!
If you’re admitted, CONGRATULATIONS!
Brighten your lives with deserved celebrations,
If you’re denied, don’t fall to desperations,
A brighter sun rises on the other horizon!
Remember friends the probabilities,
15600 applications for 1500 odd seats,
Only a tenth of us will get the treats,
Don’t forget, they aren’t the only sweets!
And Internationals, look at this,
120 seats is what it is,
But even if MIT gives a goodbye kiss,
You have your own country to reckon with.
MIT is a dream for us all, no doubt,
But it isn’t a place for such a large crowd,
Understandable reasons force them to say “OUT”,
Respect their decision, don’t call for a bout.
Rejection from MIT mustn’t lead to depression,
Rather, force you to seek salvation,
As the truth is now out in the open,
A brighter sun rises on the horizon!
Well that’s it. Basically what I want to say is, we’ve done our part. Whatever be the outcome, let’s take it in our stride and move on. Just because you’re rejected doesn’t mean you’re inferior to one who got accepted. All it means is there is a better path out there for you. You just have to find it. That having been said, all the best to us all! Have a peaceful wait!!!!

On a side note, I will be more or less on the downbeat for the matinee performance of our school's musical (Beauty and the Beast) at the pi second. I guess I can safely say I will have much, much to think about besides.
Good luck to everyone! I'm still anxiously holding out for MIT, but I found out last Friday I got in to Caltech, which reduced my overall stress significantly. I was curious who else applied and how they did (I know a lot of people apply to both).

I was hoping beyond hope that it would be on the 14th...
I've wanted to go to MIT since I was 4, so finding out if I got in is almost a culminating point in my life. Also, my nickname has become Pi. I'm obsessed with Pi, and the concept of irrationality (125 digits memorized). The fact that the decision will be made at exactly Pi-Time(?) seems very, very fitting.

Here's wishing the bestestestest of luck to everyone- whatever the results turn out to be, it was AMAZING to be a part of the MIT 2013 Applicants' Community.
Everything was amazing- rushing here to check for updates- freaking out about interviews and "unreceived" portions of the app- staying up, being high on caffeine and working on the app- discussing and crapping at the unofficial chat-room (:])- going crazy at Yan’s food entries, Snively’s sense of humor, Lulu’s funny-amazing entries and everyone else’s oh-so-amazing posts.
Everything has been one long roller-coaster journey- with the highs and lows, high hopes at times and complete utter hopelessness at other times.
I just want to say it's been amazing knowing each one of you- some I know personally (you guys are awesome!) and others whose comments I just read at the blogs (and who answered and replied to my comments)- I really think each one of you is amazing- just the fact that you thought you could do it and took the step to press the “submit” button shows you’re something! Congratulate yourself for being awesome enough to apply.
Hope to see you all at MIT! Hope that I get to see MIT myself! Hope it all turns out fine. Hope He continues to bless us.
Thanks Matt, the rest of the awesome admissions’ committee and the bloggers for reading our apps, answering our endless questions, telling us about MIT in all its awesomeness! Thanks applicants- for making it all so much fun with all those jokes and discussions on the comments! Thanks hackers and a special mention to Colton- for the unofficial chat and all the unexpected fun. Thanks to all the others who’ve always been there to talk to me when I go OMG! I WANT TO GO TO MIT! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and run in circles and panic- Dhok, Mr. A, Adr, Doo, Spi, X- etc. etc. (you guys know who you are)! Thanks you everyone for making the experience what it was.
I guess I should end this here! MIT Applicants 2013 FTW! Hope we make it! ‚ò∫

I would like to tell my fellow candidates not to be nervous. It'll be just the outcome of all the factors involved, most of which, if not all - although that's another story, are not in our control. We could've done (or not done) anything about it earlier.
I, myself, am waiting for a "rejection", so that if I am accepted, I'll really be happy, and if I get rejection, it shouldn't hurt me alot.

Good luck for all

Either way, though--be ready to struggle and succeed at MIT or somewhere else. We are all capable of greatness. MIT has the resources to help us accomplish that, but in the end, it all comes back to us. We can do anything. Don't give up if you don't make it.
Celebrate and be incredibly proud if you do.
Best of luck, all.
Posted by: Dan on March 10, 2009
Well, I tried my best and the outcome really does not change what I have learned in the last 2 years.
I guess, all of us are MIT students even if we don't go to MIT since an MIT student is a person who never gives up and can always find new ways of realizing their dreams...
Sorry guys, I am rambling on, anyway good luck to every one and hope that maybe, just maybe I will be standing by that Great Dome and thinking back at this moment.

Remember this- if you don't get in, it doesn't make you a failure. It's just the powers that be making sure you go to place that suits you best.
Good luck to all. I hope to see you next year, perhaps at MIT.
Peace. And if you get in, do those of us who don't proud!

And I'm gonna be on a church retreat until 6pm saturday, so not only will I have to wait several extra hours, but also I'll be focused on MIT the whole time I'm on the retreat.
Good luck to everyone else. After seeing how excited you all are about the 3.14159 thing, I know MIT's about to get a lot of cool, geeky kids like me (even if I'm not one of them).

I wasn't too disappointed by that, but even thinking about MIT's decision makes my stomach clench. Literally. I'm going to have major stomach ache by the end of the week, getting accepted would fix that.
I'm the first student from my school to apply to MIT (or Caltech for that matter). I do NOT want a repeat of the 'haha's after the Caltech rejection.

"I don't think they really want to come in and update the site at about 2 in the morning."
Come on, couldn't they SCHEDULE the release of admission decisions then without any human intervention? If mit could not figure out how to do it, I'd rather go to another college...
BTW, don't we stay up till 5 or 6 am in the morning? wouldn't it be more fun if mit releases it in the middle of night? Why did they set the application deadline at midnight not at noon?

Or maybe it just means that proportionately more Elizabeths and Michaels apply, therefore it it see in the results as more of them, haha. I side with you though, (at least i hope so haha)it makes me feel better. Maybe 17 years ago when i got named, it was all in preparation for this. Like destiny... =o haha nah, i did my best on the application, and i've worked hard in everything i do, so hopefully it will pay off, regardless my name! =)

Because of my adviser, my required materials were not sent, it was my fault, too. Now I know that I don't have a chance, or if I want to live in another fantasy, I need an additional miracle to the one miracle everyone here is looking for.
I have known about MIT a few months more than a year. It was an experience, a really lovely one. Every moment was another different enjoyable one.
But tears now are trying to alleviate my state of the painful ambiguity, the fact that I may not know whether I would have gotten accepted if everything went normal.
Having learned my lesson, maybe I will try for graduate school one day....

You know it is kind of funny waiting for the decisions to come out. Well, not exactly funny, but it is the hardest part (psychologically) from the whole application. Why do you want this application process to finish so quickly? If you think of it more thoroughly, you have been completing your application for a lot time and you waited all this time. Why are so impatient during this week (not that I am not), but there is no reason. We just have to live our lives and when the results come out just log in to check! (I have said that again:P)

I don't know about you but I have zero trouble sleeping. Sure I'm anxious but MIT is not the only highway that can take you through life. Therefore, I have this advice for you: Don't stress over MIT. Don't limit yourself to MIT. Don't worry about admissions.(They have already been made and its too late to change anything.) And, of course, lose sleep over important things such as writing programs, or overclocking your computer, like I did last night... stayed up until 3 am and it was a school night. Take control and ride life. Don't let life ride you.

Anyway what do you think about your chances at MIT...
SAT scores and all
Extra Curricular...
Academics....

But in terms of exciting (and very fitting) news, it looks like Congress (the US one, that is) has made Pie Day National, to stress the need for students to go into the arenas of math and science!
And in terms of decisions being released on Pie Day at the said time... all I can say is that I appreciate the simple mathematical beauty of it all. Thanks to the admissions staff - that can't have been an easy deadline!

Yes! I'm so happy! ^.^ One Piece is my favorite manga series that I've read several times through (even though it's not finished in Japan yet XP), so I'm so happy that I could show someone else how amazing it is!!
Thank you and good luck to you~~

Sometimes I have high hopes and sometimes I realise how hard it is to be admitted...u know I'm an international applicant!
This is a decision that will surely influence my life but it's not the end of the world.
to everyone:
if admitted: enjoy and celebrate but remember it's only the first step!
if not admitted: maybe MIT is not the right place for you and you will flourish somewhere else. Who knows?
if waitlisted: don't give up your hopes but don't count a lot on them! And be patient!
to me: work on your presentation on Sunday because whatever the decision is you will not be in a mood to prepare it!
to the hackers: well done! it was a brilliant idea!
to my EC (Dr. Omar Roushdy): Thanks! You helped me a lot!
to the admissions officers: Thanks for the huge effort you did!
Special thanks to the bloggers who really entertained me and gave a brilliant impression of MIT!
that was it..waiting for pi 2morrow!! good luck

And all ‘round the world,
The hopefuls were restless –
Emotions unfurled
And I by my PC
With cat in my lap,
Sat mumbling and praying
My mind wouldn’t snap
When out on the blog
There arose such a chatter,
It soon became clear
Others’ nerves too had shattered
Will we be admitted,
Or droop in disgrace?
Will we raise a toast,
Or get pi in the face?
So here’s to decisions
From old M-I-T…
Be nice to us hopefuls,
Especially me!

Posted by: Elizabeth Hall on March 13, 2009
Awe! I'll be your friend either way it goes for you or me!
Still staying possitive, i know i've done all i can do. I just had an epiphany of sorts. I realized that i was already rewarded for all my hard work with scholarships and honors stuff at other schools, and that i really /did/ work hard and it's not just my imagination. I'm really trying to stay possitive, because i have the habit of bracing myself for the worst. YOu all should stay possitive too, everyone at MIT isn't top in their class, international olympiads, etc. So you or i have a change too! You never know. If you tried your hardest that's all you can really do! (haha that sounds so sappy... not me at all.)
@Albert Smith and Rankeya
Haha I love that you speak your mind, I do too and i don't care what anyone says. However, just because we wish someone luck doesn't mean that we don't want to get in as much, if not more, than they do. Wishing luck is half common courtessy and half what i beleive and want to do. Some people will be devistated if they are rejected, and some people honestly deserve to be there, there is nothing more that i can do to change that fact of my or their admissions decision. The words "Good luck" provide hope and only hope, they do not, in my opinion, bestow any real sort of luck on the person, they are simply a chain of words.
And quite cliche at the moment actually! haha =) Just speaking my mind!

To those rejected: MIT is just one school with too many brilliant applicants and not enough seats. You do not need MIT (or any other top ranked school, for that matter) to achieve your dreams. Where there is a will, there is a way. Have a blast in college, wherever you go. It is a sacred four years. Best of luck as you begin your journey
To those accepted and planning to attend: Congratulations. Sleep, friends, school - you may choose two. (Sleep is overrated.) The next four years will be more amazing than you can possibly imagine right now. Be outgoing. Take advantage of every opportunity you can, but remember to stay balanced. Always show appreciation for the unique people and the unique culture surrounding you. MIT is an incredible place to be a young, bright adult. Many would give anything to have what you have, so make the most of it. Best of luck as you begin your journey
Regardless of where you go to school, remember that college is a place to learn HOW to think (not necessarily what to think). Have fun! Good luck! Be safe!
