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 has a reputation for being stagnant or tense or boring, but, if you take time to nourish yourself, it can also be full of unexpected growth. We keep continuing onwards.

Some of you may feel happy to be waitlisted. Some of you may feel sad. Some of you may have complicated feelings that you don’t know what to call; that’s okay too. For right now, we just ask that you give it time and have a little patience.
