Open Thread: Waitlisted by Decisions
A lot of students applied to MIT this year, and unfortunately, we just couldn’t accept them all. We have placed a small number of students on the waitlist. If you would like to be considered for the waitlist, or you want to learn more about it, you can read more here.
Waiting can be tough because it feels like there’s nothing that you can do, but—if you look beyond the thing you’re waiting for—it can also be full of unexpected growth. We adapt and continue onward.
Some of you may feel happy to be waitlisted. Some of you may feel broken-hearted. Some of you may have complicated feelings; that’s okay too, and this is an open forum to talk it out. For right now, we just ask that you have a little patience and let the time pass.
Days pull you down just like a sinking ship
Floating is getting harder But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile Rises the moon
