MIT Admissions plans to make Regular Action decisions available online on Sunday, March 14 at 2:00 PM EDT... actually, we’ll probably have decisions posted a minute before 2pm.
Receiving your decision online is as easy as pi. When decisions are released, 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.
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 through the decision date for applicants to confirm their login ability and decision eligibility.
If you've forgotten your MyMIT password, you may use our automated system to reset it. Simply visit my.mit.edu and click on the lost password link. There is a similar link for forgotten usernames. If you're having trouble using our automated username/password recovery process, please email mymitpassword@mit.edu with your full name and mailing address.
Admissions decisions will be available exclusively online. Decisions will not be released via email, snail mail, carrier pigeon, or Nekobasu special delivery (still working on that). Following the release of admissions decisions, however, we will be mailing necessary materials to admitted students.
I wish you all the best!

YES! THE TORTURE IS NEARLY OVER!!! Does anyone else feel like even being rejected will be less painful than 6 months of waiting (or 3 if you were RA)?
My friend in Germany and I are going to have to figure out the time difference so we can open our decisions at the same time...
Good luck everyone! Hope you all get in!
(*Prays* I would be the first person in my school's history to get into an Ivy, much less MIT. All the administrators are making me promise to text/email them the results over spring break...)

For some intl students, trapped in cram systems, its an ultimate fight to break into a world of opportunities, which they have always been denied.
(The educational systems of some countries are really bad!)
These days all my prayers are like:
"Dear Mr. God, please make me a bird. So that I could fly far. Far far away from here."

I just wanted to thank you all, applicants and the people running this site, for... well, I don't know, but I think we have been kind of a family, haven't we... ?
I guess that this feeling, apart from the dreams, is what has driven me to reapply this year (yes, I got rejected the last time). What else can I say...? The applications process has been a long but beautiful journey, I got to meet some nice people from MIT and other Universities, participated in competitions, Olympiads, read MIT blogs, and met an applicant whom I am now in a (my first) relationship with... a lot has happened since Dec 2008... Experiences, of making friends, feeling a common anticipation, having my mobile pickpoketed (yes, that WAS related to admissions
So my thanks and Love to everyone. I wish you the best of luck. I have never had much luck myself (consider being unable to participate in the International Informatics Olympiad because Bulgaria (where I happened) does not have an Embassy in your country :( )... But still I will keep my fingers crossed

I'm not too hot about the idea of going to "the land of opportunities" but I am for MIT, MIT is itself said land for me.
If my country doesn't have opportunity X which I'm passionate about then I'll work on creating it for me and others, something I do plan to work on.

According to the admission statistics page, the number of freshman applications last year was 15661, and according to a recent blog by Matt, this year has seen a 6% increase in applications, meaning there are about 16600 students applying this year.
If we use the same rates of last year we decrease the number by 28.6% (EA not admittedwithdrawn).
So we have approximately 11853 people waiting for decisions, about 0.7% of home commented on this blog ^_^

I must say, in retrospect I found it comical that when I logged into the admissions page yesterday and saw the notice "You have successfully confirmed your ability to view your decision online, which will be available beginning at 1:59PM Eastern Time on Sunday, March 14," my heartbeat literally quickened after reading the first three words of the notice.
Not sure how I assumed a sentence-long message to be the "congratulatory message" of an acceptance by such an amazing school, but hey, all of us are a bit anxious now, aren't we?
Posted by: Christian '14? on March 6, 2010
No, i am not being extremely pessimistic about my admission result, rest assured i am not talking about the much awaited decisions. This post is about when i will get it, and being in India i will get it on 3/15, 12:29 am. Pakistani applicants will be the last ones, geographically, to get their results on 3/14, and they will get it just a minute before the next day starts, lucky pie for them. Now before going into depression due to this unavoidable unfairness on MIT's part, i decided to give it a thought, 3/15, and here is what emerged. If we write the 3 digits, 315, and do the following, 3+1 and 1+5, the new date we get is 4/6, and what else, that is my birth date, the day i emerged in this world, with tears of unbound joy, this may just be the second time i do that, may be, hopefully.
Best of luck to all of you 16000+ students who will be glued to the computer at the same time some time next week, including me.
Now recaptcha is getting really innovative and maybe becoming some kind of a fortune teller or maybe just poking fun at us, i had to type the following to prove that i am a human: qualified ernest

Anyway, to everyone saying they "don't know what they'll do if they get rejected by MIT:" your education is what you make it. There are hundreds of great schools in the world and if you're even applying to MIT, there's no doubt that you could get into at least one of them. Sure, being at MIT would be nice, but not every great scientist or engineer of the world is an MIT graduate.

Regarding the email issue, as I know it will be out in 10th of Mar, so be patient. Also it doesn't make deference if you got it or not.
I think it's just a psychological thing ^.*, you want to make sure that Admission office cares about you or not, or something like that.

1 You applied because you had hope, you wanted to get in, you tried your best, applied and thats over, now just hope, don't panic, don't assume things, let the day come and accept whatever decision comes your way. 10 or maybe 20 years later it won't matter if you did your ug in MIT, but what would matter is that what you did in whatever university you went to. And you will also regret the time you wasted in anxiety surrounding all this. Its not that i have no tension at all, but when it tries to take over, i just come here and read some posts and once i am calm i go back to whatever i have to do. As MIT says on the decisions page, don't run away from the anxiety, but then don't let it bog you down, embrace it, then move on, don't think too much about the result, let it come to you when it has been destined.
2 You have paid $90 to MIT to employ some great people to decide on your applications, trust them that they will make a right decision, don't do their job by declaring your acceptance/rejection before MIT does, there is no point, your job was to apply and you have done that.
Sit back and enjoy.
And i am trying to catch up with all the great MIT International Applicants, so i have made this group, please join it to know more about each other-

The application fee was 75$. Interestingly enough, when you multiply it by the number of all people who applied a year ago (15661) you get 1174575 US dollars (1.2 million $).
(Some people applied for the fee waiver but on the other hand the number of applicants increased this year.)
I don't have anything against it - actually I am proud that I (well, my parents) supported one of the finest universities on this planet.

Could there be a reason that we got our email notification at different times? I just got mine a few minutes ago and I've been wondering if our admission decision could be inferred from early or late email notification..
Did anyone just receive their email?

I'm an international applicant and I just got my E-mail too. Still strange, anybody else just got their E-mail?
Best of luck to all!
Posted by: Keshav on March 9, 2010
My inference is that all international students got the mail relatively late!!
And it has no correlation with the decision!! UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE PARANOID AND ASSUME THAT EVERYTHING MIT DOES IS RELATED TO YOUR RESULT!!
Best of luck folks!!!

But I am getting nervous. I think the pressure is even greater for international students. I thought the chance of getting in was 5% for internationals but apparently it's gone down with the increase in applicants to 3%. Not fun....

Food-for-thought : Consider a complex number (aka Imaginary Number). Now, associate the real coefficient with the X-axis and the imaginary coefficient on the Y-axis; so the point is (x,y). Now the value of the imaginary coefficient at the same point in space in another number plane is given by 3x + 2y, where x and y have their original values. Similarly, the imaginary coefficient of the same point in the third plane is 3(x1) + 2 (y1) where x1 and y1 are the real and imaginary coefficients on the second plane. This goes on till n planes. What is the modulus of the difference between the values of the same complex number in the nth plane and the original plane if there exists a plane such that is encompasses the domain of both the planes?
Notes (+ Hints):
1. We assume that the real and imaginary planes are always at right angles to each other.
2. a. We assume that all planes are in different axes but somehow coincide in the same region.
2. b. According to high school physics/math there are only three axes, but lets us assume that is not the case here. That is not the case anyway; we have been taught incomplete information.
2. c. If you are still adamant that it is not possible and must know, consider that this case takes place in curved space (physics). But that does not have to be included in the calculation, mostly because it will complicate the answer (and slightly also because the curve has not been specified and an answer cannot be calculated when the question does not provide the information needed to solve it). And yes, this means that a plane does not always have to be flat.
3. (Hint) Position and distance are not functions of each other in the largest frame of reference that includes all the planes (plainspeak : Two points that share the same position, but are in different reference planes, do not necessarily have to coincide) You can put it this way : Distance is relative.
4. (Hint) This is more of an algebra problem. And this can be solved without the knowledge of any formulae/advanced math.
I think I pretty much covered everything needed to solve this one, I'll add if I find that I missed something.

If you will be not accepted, do know that it is not the end of the world, there are maaaany more pathways to success guys, so take it as a man (literally, lol) and walk away with pride or try again next year with bigger expectancy towards your next application XD...
Good luck~!

As for MIT, my chances of getting in are as low or even lower than 3%. I'm very discouraged but still a little hopeful considering the fact that applying for financial aid hurt my application to this university. Plus, it admits only a handful of international students.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sunday.

" Hopes are just like small little free birds flying away, either they reach the nest or they die on the way "
But after all I am sure that one of our free birds will reach a nest even if this one of MIT didn't !!!!
Be optimestic and never fall down, because if you do, there is no coming back !!! SO lets be strong and wish for all of us the best of luck !!!
lets thank MIT for giving us the chance of dreaming of getting in !! actually I know how this period was very hard, but after all ,these days are the ones we are not going to forget !!!
it would stick in the memory forever!!!!
goood luck to all !!!!

I shared the same feelings you're feeling, but then, even if we are one of the 'perfect match' or 'clear admit' applicants, when the admission committee goes "for every student admitted, you have to let go of {7 or 8} others", then chances fall even more drastically :(

I feel proud to be a part of such brilliant and extraordinary group of people who have applied to the class of 2014 at MIT. It was a great experience applying to the best Institute in the world for science and technology and it was the only school in US where I applied.
Congratulation in advance to those who will get accepted and consolation for those who will not be accepted.
I believe that the selection committee will not make any mistake in selecting the best 1500 students who will lead the world in the future.
Have a wonderful college life.........
