Class of 2010 Roll Call by Matt McGann '00
It's May 1st -- welcome to MIT!
It’s May 1! Welcome to the MIT Class of 2010!
If you have sent back your MIT reply form with an affirmative response, check in here in the comments. We’re excited to have you as a member of the class!
We’ve spent the past year getting to know each other, and I’m glad we’ll have to next four years together, too. (I hope you’ll stop by 3-107 from time to time and say hi to Ben, Nance and I!) It’s going to be a wild ride — fasten your seatbelt =)
Ah, May 1st… I remember senior year of high school, when May came around everyone and their mother (literally) walked around with their college t-shirt on, rightly proud of their future home for the next four years. These days, you don’t have to travel all the way to Cambridge to buy an MIT t-shirt — the power of the Internet!
Yes, over at The Coop‘s web site, you can pick up all the MIT swag you need. And don’t forget about that discount coupon that came in your admit pack!
Ah, but sometimes, you want to be a little subtle in your MIT pride, while still feeling awesome. What to do? Luckily, this email came to my inbox…
From: Tim Howe
To: Matt McGann
Subject: Howe & Ser Moving Co. Shirts
Dear Matt,
I heard the prospective students to MIT really liked that cannon we moved to your campus as they arrived. We have decided to make company shirts available to the public. Since so many people reading your blog visited our website, we though they might be interested in buying one for themselves (or hundreds for their friends, either way) to show off this hack which they actually got to see. The design and ordering form are at:
http://www.howeandser.com/shirts.html
and of course, as a national moving company, we will gladly deliver the shirts to any location.
I would appreciate if you mentioned this in your blog.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Tim Howe
Howe & Ser Moving Co.
You may remember the Howe & Ser Moving Co. from a certain, um, project of theirs. You’d make Tim Howe (for those of you not in the know — Tim Howe, like Jack Florey or J. Arthur Random, is a psuedonym) very happy by purchasing your very own, super-cool, Howe & Ser shirt (only $10!).
Anyway, whether or not you’re wearing your MIT hoodie or shorts with the words on the butt today, check in here and officially say hello! Welcome to MIT!

Hello! MIT’s going to be a big challenge, but I can’t wait! Matt, is there any way for me to check if my reply form got to MIT successfully? I want to really be sure I’m a part of MIT ’10!
Oh, HELL yes. Course 16, I think. I can’t WAIT.
Matt, is there any way to check and make sure my letter of intent got there okay? I emailed admissions at mit.edu, but so far without any response.
As a random question, do you know when we’ll be able to set up @mit.edu email accounts?
Matt and Fellow MIT prefrosh, I heard somewhere that there are other places in Boston where we can buy MIT T-shirts more affordable. Any idea?
Sweet…looks like I’ll be meeting some awesome people at Rush.
Any other course 1’s?
See you guys in fall!
MIT 2010!!!
Matt, thanks for everything!
OH TEN?!
Most likely course 2.

Hey hey hey! Olga out here, holla if you’re course 20BE!
MIT is for me
Can’t wait to see you all!!!
hi i just took my first AP exam today. i don’t think i did so well (computer science). how bad the scores must be on AP to exclude me from enrolling at MIT?
I can’t wait!!! It’s going to be so awesome!!!!!
How do we find out how many people in our state got in to MIT? Just wondering if you could check TN for me. Three people (including me) from the Nashville Youth Symphony were accepted (2 confirmed, the other’s going to Harvard.) It’d be neat to know percentages. Thanks!
Hi MIT’10 from Guadalajara, Mexico. I’m so excited. Only 4 months and we will be full time college students at MIT. Ahhhhh!!!!!!!
MIT ’10.
Sounds better every time I say it
I’m MIT ’10 from MN; yay!!! I’ll be doing course 6 and possibly course 18 as well. Props to Matt and company for keeping up these wonderful blogs – they’ve been extremely helpful.
I think our class should be dubbed the “mittens”. (MIT ’10 –> MIT ten –> mitten; I believe credit goes to Charles ’10 from IN for this.) A few of my friends and I have already started referring to ourselves as mittens. Does anybody else agree that this would be an awesome idea?
AAA! So why did you have to launch the goods on the MIT 2010 site on *the same day* AP exams started?? Sooooooo distracting…
Kallie, here, from England (kind of).
Course 1.
Or Course 1 and Course 12.
Or… heck, I’ll go with the crowd and say 8.
Or Course 8 and 12? haha…
Hello. MIT ’10 – See you all at orientation.
MIT. ’10
From Salem, Oregon
nice one prannay….guess what i’ll be listening to at mit…other than AC/DC that is…MITellica!
hehe
Woo hoo! MIT ’10!
Course 9/5 here (I hope).
Hey Matt, I still haven’t received the confirmation of my reply form. Can you check on my status as an MIT freshman class of 2010? It’s after May1 and I can’t help but be nervous! I can’t wait to get there!! -THanks
MIT ’10! I’m so excited!
My E/c^2 shirt has become my favorite shirt!
Seeya in August!
MIT!!!!
I’m thinking course 18 and a side of 14 but I’m going in there with an open mind so we’ll see where I end up.
Wow, I can’t believe I’m actually going to attend MIT.
MIT Class of 2010!
Hi everyone!
I’ll be doing Course 18 and possibly course 8 or 6 too. (Hopefully all 3!)
I totally agree with you on the shirt, Kim. Wore it to school today.
Course 6/15. One day before I graduate.
MIT ’10!
Yay c/o 2010!!! I’m so excited…and scared…but excited…can’t wait until the pre-orientation.
Hi everyone! I’m so excited…Yay 2010!
Course 7, hopefully with a double or minor in 12 if I can pull it off…
Is anyone else scared silly?

Yeah, baby, yeah!
MIT here I come!
Shout out to Floridians of oh ten!

Hey everyone, MIT ’10 seems to be nothing short of amazing, and i’m glad to be a part of it!
A bigbigBIG thanks goes out to Matt and the other admissions officers who’ve kept us posted about everything!
I’m really anticipating the new school year =]
Yay ’10!!
Scared? Oh heck yes! But I can’t stop smiling about it.
Course 8er here (and 3?)…or maybe 6? Agh. x_x
out of curiousity, what was going on in 32G7 today?
MIT MMX Yeah, I’ll be course 16 as well, nothing beats aero astro. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone in the fall,
–OJ From Texas
wait list? =(
Scared silly, but ever so excited!
I didn’t even realize it was time to enroll until yesterday, but the people at MIT were nice enough to e-mail me a form on the spot. I can’t wait to meet you all. Courses 18 and 14 in the fall…still unbelievable. See you there.
Hey Matt, listen, have you any news about the wait-listed ones? I am quiet anxious about it. It is may 3 and still nothing. Can you spread a lil’ bit of light on the situation? Thanks.
still a little nervous about my decision (i made it as the very last second), but umm…YAY MIT!
Hey, another excited and nervous MIT-TEN!
From Pakistan,
Munir
Hi! I’m leaning towards Courses 1 and 4, but I don’t know how much I want to do a double major. I’m kinda freaked out about how amazing the people at MIT sound, like Anthony (read his introduction), though. I guess all in good time?
I’ll see you guys in August!
MITMMX! MIT was simply too cool for the other school on my list.
hi,
i am a Kenyan prospecting student and i havent applied yet. I would be very glad if you can keep me updated on the admissions application and financiall aid. I would also like to know if I can be granted speciall permission to apply without paying an application fee because I am not able to meet the cost but I can try and pay afterwards. I am planning to join n spring 2007.Thanks I hope to hear from you.
Hmm, I thought I’d already posted, but I blame AP Exams. They’re causing deja vu. Especially the AP French one.
Anyway go class of 2010! (And possible courses 9 and 5!)
Hey mates!!! Yeeeeehaaaaa!!! MIT and more importantly USA here I come…
Making a huge move to the other side of the planet, from Australia… doing Course 16 Aero Eng and can’t wait!!!!!!!!!
More importantly, I wanna meet you all
And I agree, how do I know if my acceptance form was received by May 1st, you know with unreliable postage and all…?
any fellow latinos???
im so excited to be a BEAVER!!!
see you all in the fall!!
I am sooo excited to go to MIT!!!!! Let’s make them proud!!!!
When do we get our info packets on this fall?!?!
What’s up class of 2010!!!!!! Chris Cosmides from Florida here, can’t wait for orientation in August to meet all the brilliant and interesting people! We’re going to have an awesome four years guys, best class ever no doubt.
I also love the beaver.
Hey everyone! I cannot wait to see the MIT campus, as I was unable to attend CPW. I’m going to have to see if I can check it out over the summer or something….ROAD TRIP!!!
Ah yes, by the way, in regards to Sulinya’s question, about the AP exams….um…they can’t..can they? I hope not, because that Cal BC test was not a happy test, and it doesn’t appear that the Physics C will be either.
hey folks, welcome to MIT
a year has passed so quickly, and now we are about to become sophomores.
welcome to the class of 2010, how are u gonna call urselves, ’10s?
