Take Deep Breaths :)

Posted in: Process & Statistics

For now, I'll refer you to this blog entry, but I'll be back.

---

All I can really add to that blog entry is that this year, I'm reliving that story all over again. I thought getting my bachelor's degree would be the end of my formal education, but here I am applying to graduate schools. It's not an easy task either. Waiting on pins and needles to hear if I got in, hear if I got funding, etc. I still believe, however, that if I sit around and wait for the news, the world around me isn't going to wait for me. I have three months left in my undergraduate career, and I'm going to spend it having a blast with the people I love in a place that I love. Make sure that you remember that all you can do is know that you tried your best and that is all you should expect of yourself. Don't go comparing yourselves to other people who did or did not get in based off of the numbers you listed on your application because that's just a bad idea. MIT considers a lot more than that, so don't play that game. It's not a good way to spend your time. Go have some fun. Enjoy the snow if you're in Boston and just dealt with the most schizophrenic week of weather ever, or go do something that you know will make you happy. You'll all get in somewhere, and whether you get in or you don't, it's really not the end of the world. You probably don't want to believe me as I say this, but I hope you really consider it.

Thanks for another great post! I stalk the MIT admission blogs even through I'm not applying (my friends are smile). The people at each great university I've seen is what makes it such a great place in the first place, so I'm really glad to know MIT has such amazing students and admission staff. Seems like my IB DP friends from my Shanghai school made the right choice in applying!

Well, I think you were right Bryan...
Worrying cannot help, but then, one cannot help worrying either... tongue laugh

I've been trying my best to keep myself from all the tension. I even gave my junior school, De Nobili FRI, a visit today. (in fact, I'd like sharing this with all of you)
It's a catholic school, and I just felt like I needed to talk to some of my teachers there. I met with Father Pious, and luckily, he was free.
I poured my heart out to him, telling him about what I had been through; my successes, failures, everything that had happened with me since junior school (Well, I think you were right Bryan...

I've been trying my best to keep myself from all the tension. I even gave my junior school, De Nobili FRI, a visit today. (in fact, I'd like sharing this with all of you)
It's a catholic school, and I just felt like I needed to talk to some of my teachers there. I met with Father Pious, and luckily, he was free.
I poured my heart out to him, telling him about what I had been through; my successes, failures, everything that had happened with me since junior school (<= class 10th in India).
We talked and talked and talked. I could simply cry in front of him and tell him what I felt like. And he finally said something that simply made me forget all the worries.
"Son, whatever is about to happen, is about to happen by god's will... and nothing is more important than that... You were born because of his will, and all your successes and failures have been because of his will, so where is the worry? You're not failing when you fail, you're just obeying god... He has something in store for you, and he will lead you to that. It might be painful now, but definitely will not be later... God does not inflict pain on anyone who has not wronged him..."
It felt serene.
After talking to him for 2 hours, I had to make my way back home. (De Nobili is pretty far from my city... it's in a village). I was finally at rest, and I kept thinking about what father had just said, feeling closer and closer to peace.
Then, I sat in a field, feeling the wind, looking at the crops which looked like a sheet of fluttering cloth in the wind. Father Pious's voice kept echoing in my mind.
Very soon, it was time to get moving. I got up and began to walk towards the car. And this time, I was walking with a new freedom, freedom from all that had kept haunting me for the past few months...
And now, as I sit and type, I'm not worried at all. God had already decided what is good for me. Tomorrow, 10.15pm India time, all I have to do is find out what.
Period.

==============
Chill out guys.
My besties to everyone out there.

Posted by: Ashesh on March 16, 2007

I've always been wanting to ask an MIT student what, in his/her opinion led to his admission to MIT. I've read on MIT's website that they look for a compelling reason to admit. What was that compelling reason in your case Bryan?

Thanks a lot!!!

OMGxorz you have Quailman in your entry! You just jumped to the top of my list, Quailman rocks!

The waiting in front of the mailbox line reminds me of the Wii episode of South Park.

Cartman (pacing outside EBGames): Come on! Come on!
Store Clerk: Kid, for the 400th time, pacing back and forth isn't going to make the Wii come out any faster.
Cartman: Shut up! You just don't understand! Come on. . . Come on!

Posted by: Snively on March 16, 2007

Thanks for the great post Bryan. It's hard to believe that in a little over 24 hours, decisions will be made available. Although I'm nervous and excited, I'm going to relax and enjoy Friday night. By the time I wake up tomorrow, I'll know my decision. Whatever happens is the will of God.

Posted by: Awet on March 16, 2007

Reading all this, guys, something strikes me... All this is making you all better human beings and in turn it'll make the world a better place to live in.

Posted by: 0 on March 16, 2007

I liked the entry a lot Brian. I was deferred from MIT EA nad I thought the world was over. It is quite interesting how my reactions and emotions have changed. I still want MIT, but I am somehow not as nervous. I have accepted the fact that if MIT isnt my destiny no matter WHAT I do, I will never go there! SoI just keep enjoying my life, will check my decisions tomorrow: either cry or screan really loud, then move on wiht my life.

Posted by: AJ on March 16, 2007

I really enjoyed reading that. It's very down-to-earth, sensible advice. I'm still nervous about the decision but not as nervous as I was, say, two months ago.

For one, my parents have made it clear to me that whether I get into MIT or not, they are already proud of me. In fact, they never pressured me to apply to any particular school - they just let me choose universities I wanted to apply to and get on with it. In the eyes of my mum - who didn't get the chance to go to university - the fact that I am even going to college is a big accomplishment.

Also, it's summer here, and after running each day, I go out on the roof and stare at the beautiful sky. At dawn, it's soft and shy, and at night, full of stars, some brighter than the others. I amuse myself trying to count them while listening to Cat Stevens/Francis Cabrel. How can one not feel relaxed at a time like that?

My friends and I have been making the most of this time to meet, enjoy ourselves and appreciate each other's company before parting ways. We're all at turning points in our lives, and most of us will probably not see each other again for a while. These last weeks have been lovely, full of laughter, conversation, and plans. I've even made some new friends.

What I'm saying is that for me, the world doesn't begin and end with MIT's decision. I would be lying if I said that it didn't matter at all to me, because it does. I would be thrilled to get in. I would definitely be very disappointed if I were rejected. But not so disappointed that I'd think my life was over. Wherever I end up, I will be entering a new phase of my life, and that - to me - is something exciting to look forward too. smile

Ok, I got my screech of pent-up frustration/waiting out. Thanks!

Posted by: Elizabeth on March 16, 2007

Guys, take it easy, from the looks of it u wont survive these 19 hours or so, go chill out some where tonight. I myself gonna go out with my girlfriend, hope I can stay focused on what she ll be saying and not be stressed out by the decisions. What abt you guys what are ur plans for tonight?

Posted by: Abuuuuuu on March 16, 2007

YES.

An air of anxious resignation fills the room. I wonder if I'll be able to go to sleep tonight. Oh well. If I'm in, I'm in. If I'm not, I'm not. It's a pity I have to be so distressed. XD

Thanks Bryan. Nice story. Even though it's a year old, it's still really applicable. Great job on a great blog post.

Posted by: Yossarian on March 16, 2007

my head is going to explode. no joke.

Posted by: 0 on March 16, 2007

Plans for tonight? Spanish Literature to study; Physics homework to do. No time for much math, but I'll draw some cute fuzzy Moogles, meditate, organize some stuff and go to bed relatively early, kupo.
Good luck tomorrow, everyone - and hoopefully the servers won't crash. I for one, will be checking the decision about 8 hours after it comes out. We still, after all, have our everyday lives to attend to. Let the decision wait, and let the espers be with us, kupo.

Posted by: Chandresh on March 16, 2007

I remember last December. Every night I would dream about getting a rejected. It was horrible. Luckily, that dream didn't come true. My dream of being accepted did. =D

Posted by: 0 on March 16, 2007

sleep is the best medicine for all this anxiety, go to your bed, close your eyes and cover it up with a warm blanket. it'll work. and that's what i'm going to do since i have no problem sleeping at all.

Clubbing tonight to celebrate the end of the wait....whether I get in or not, I'll be too tired (and satisfied) to be disappointed and I'll just find more energy to celebrate if I get in.

Posted by: mary m. on March 16, 2007

i didnt take enough time on my application so i could meet early action deadline but then i was deferred, was expecting an outright rejection,anyway this gave me the drive to complete a more detailed application with GIT.i would have been more anxious about decisions but then i got my admission packet from GIT 2 days ago, so decision from MIT means whether or not i submit my acceptance fee to GIT. All the same my point is for everyone to try "difficult as it may be" to relax and take decisions easy,cos no matter what there is a place for everyone.perserverance is the key to achievement

I agree with the person who said their head is going to explode. Because mine definitely is going to as well.

Wow! feel the anxiety...even though i've already been accepted EA, im really excited for everyone, especially for my best friend...she got deferred...now im just losing sleep FOR her. lol but luckily i have a band event to go to tomorrow so it'll keep my mind of off HER admission decision. XD I dont know why, but I so can feel the anxiety all over again...maybe because its my best friend..

Posted by: KB on March 16, 2007

EDIT: off of* not of off...XD silly me

Posted by: KB on March 16, 2007

Nnnnng. Most frustrating thing of all is that tomorrow is Science Olympiad regionals! ...which means I don't find out until, like, seven in the evening and the decision will be hanging over me that entire time.

I'm trying to accept failure now, so I can be really pleasantly surprised if I do get in, but it's really hard. :(

Posted by: Sarah on March 16, 2007

Hi Sarah! Good luck for your regionals qualification of the Science Olympiad smile It must be hard to keep concentrating this time but that's a challenge, right?

Meanwhile, I'm also waiting for my decision. I'm pretty sure it'll be a no, though.

Posted by: alyssa on March 17, 2007

gentlemen!! of those who have applied to MIT atleast 90 % of them are(supposed to be) very intelligent guys. Now it wud not be asking too much from u people to approach the decisions in a very pragmatic and practical manner. You are all great guys but the fact of matter is that there arent 10000 vacancies out there. so ofcourse most of u will be rejected(especially tougher for internationals). Now if u ARE that intelligent and high spirited as u wud have tried to reflect in your applications then take the entire process very casually. it is difficult if not impossible to discriminate between such good applicants, so if u arent admitted accept it with grace and honour!! if u arent accepted it doesnt mean that u are not the MIT kind or that u dont have it, perhaps those who are selected may not be as good as you....it just may be that ur good qualities werent reflected as well before the comittee...so cheer up...if u get a yes dont sleep for two days but if u get a no: ur luck didnt work and if thats not ok with u then keep on trying till u get wat u desire coz "everything is okay in the end and if its not ok then its not the end!!!!!"

When I first applied to MIT, I was resigned to the fact that in all probability I would not be accepted. However, later I raised my hopes unrealistically, with the effect that now I'm so nervous I can't even breathe normally.

It is despicable how some cretins try to exacerbate an already tense situations by posting false commentaries. Let them remember that he who sows the seeds of sin shall reap the grapes of wrath.

The chat isn't working for me.

Posted by: decision on March 17, 2007

in the last twenty minutes before decisions are up...i think i shall lead us in a song!!

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

Monty Python always cheers me up!~ good luck to everyone!
