Man, I was dreading checking it because I was sure I wouldn’t get in. I was so shocked!
PLEASE don’t let this thread turn into a discussion of test scores. PLEASE.
Thank God!!!
I’m with Anonymous above. SAT scores aren’t the only thing considered in your application. Please don’t make comparisons of them compose the entirety of this thread.
Where are you guys from? I live near San Francisco.
I’m in still shock. I’m on cloud 9.
I am accepted! I hope I am not the youngest accepted to class 2011. I am now 15 years, 12 days, 3 hours and 51 minutes old! Unspeakable joy!! Thanks!!!
congrats to all of you!!!!!! i hope you are as excited as I am, I even cried!!! I hope I get to know all of you!! uhh… if you have myspace add me!! lol
congrats guys!! I think you should all throw yourselves a HUGE party!!!
(I was deferred and I’m thrilled!!) I can’t even imagine how excited you guys must be–
a huge giant CONGRATS to all of you!!!
Oh my goodness, guys, I can’t even believe it! I am SO excited! So happy, so happy…
I just know that I’m going to wake up any minute now, and find out I’ve overslept and missed something important…..*shivers*
aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in College Station, TX.
haha I GOT IN!
hey zaira!
Dimitar’
We are neighbors! I am in Houston!
Being the typical cookie-cutter Asian, I’d never thought I’ll get in…OMG….
Crap, now I owe my entire Econ class a party…Cause I said I’ll get deferred and then bet on that.
CONGRATS EVERYBODY!!! SEE YOU AT CPW!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone. i hope i get to join you guys in march. i agree with theresa, throw a huge party.
To update one of Sam’s old posts, I’m excited to be a part of
E/c² x √-1 x pv/nR ‘B(hex)
congratulations to all of you! im so happy for you all, and hopefully, in the spring, i will be celebrating with you guys too
!
Wawa, congrats! What school do you go to?
HAHA YESSSSS to alex’s rendition of “MIT”
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Down in sunny Georgia …
OMG I GOT IN!!! I’M SO HAPPYYYY CONGRATS TO EVERYONE ELSE THAT GOT IN AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU ALL AT MIT!!
YAYA!!!
Wawa, we are even closer neighbors… I go to Westside here in Houston
Is anyone else having this “zomg sdlkflkjl (hits keyboard) skljaflkdsfa” feeling?!?!!!
YAY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS ’11s!
I was going to post a comment about “class of ‘B” being incorrect, since B is hex for 11, but the actual year is 2011, and it doesn’t translate into the same number of digits. But when I actually calculated it, I found that the hex equivalent of 2000 (base 10) is 7D0, which means that 2011 (base 10) would be 7DB (base 16). So congratulations Alex, you were right, and I don’t get to give you a hard time about it. =P
AWB, we’re neighbors! Where are you from?
Congratulations everyone!!
Yeah, Dan, it’s MITES Zaira. How are you doing?
How many people from Texas do we have?
HEY!!! ADMITTED ALSO!!!
I’m from San Juan, Puerto Rico!
Does anyone know when the tubes arrive?
“zomg sdlkflkjl (hits keyboard) skljaflkdsfa” indeed. A friend of mine that goes to my school got admitted too! Nobody will believe us, HA! Yay MIT! I’m assuming we all played the “Flip through every page of the phone book, e-mail everybody, almost break the cell phone, blog like there’s no tomorrow” game, seeing as we’re all posting on here right now. I think this a good place to say:
OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!1!1!!! GAHH!!!! LOL NO MORE COLLEGE APPLICATION ESSAYS!!!1!11!
Congratulations everyone! I hope you all join us up here in Cambridge next year (it’s really cold, but I swear it’s amazing anyway). When I got in EA last year, it was probably the happiest day of my life, so I hope a lot of you are feeling that same euphoria. Go out and enjoy it. Celebrate with your friends! And try not to slack off too much, now that you already know you’ve gotten in here and it’s only December. . . .
yay, i got in =) i cant believe it either.. im from mass, only half an hour away from MIT
I got in too!! Congratulations everyone! Hope to meet all of you next year!!!
I was in tears too….
Matt, is it O.K. to start using the ’11 after our names? I’ve been waiting for this for a LONG time.
Daniel from San Juan, PR….

So many from TX admitted! That’s awesome, out 0f a total of 390 EA admitted.
Solomon: put all the passion you can into your essays!
Hi,All, Congrats!
I actually knew I would be accepted to the class of 2011 as far back as almost 6 weeks ago when I submitted my EA application. Do you people know that my church has prayed earnestly for me to get in MIT since then?
I am not trying to be religious here, but there is a God Whom I have trusted whole my life opening for me the path He had designed for me even before the founfation of the world!
Thanks to all the admissions officers and stuff, too!!
So many from TX admitted! That’s awesome, out 0f a total of 390 EA admitted.
AHHH!!!!!! I GOT IN!!! *in tears*

dam it…how many people got in EA? it’s ok though, i’m sure you all deserve it…unfortunately, at this point it’s looking unlikely that i’ll be going to MIT (even if i get accepted in march)…but i hope you all have a great time there

Jess, I live in Mill Valley and go to the Urban School of SF. How about you?
We should get together to party.

Hi Everyone!! I’m Sam from Pennsylvania and I am sooooooooooooooo excited to get in to MIT! I can’t wait to meet you all! I’ve wanted to go to MIT since I was so little, and it’s a dream come true! I want to be an astronaut and a cardiothoracic surgeon so MIT will totally help me get on that path!! Talk to you all soon!
Any Oregon people? I know of 2. It’d be interesting to see how many were accepted from our humble little state.
Hey everyone! So excited to be accepted – I wasn’t sure if I’d be a good fit, but I guess MIT thought I would be.
Congratulations to everyone else who was accepted, I can’t wait to meet you all (hopefully) next fall.
I’m from Milwaukee, WI – anyone from nearby? I’m hoping I’m not the only Wisconsinite to get accepted!
Also, anyone on facebook? I vote that we start a “potential MIT ’11” group or something so we can get to know each other better! If one doesn’t exist yet, I’ll start one tonight.
Congratulations again to everyone, I know that it’ll be incredible!
Hey Dmitar, this is Michael from TX Math Talent Search and the A&M tournament. Congrats. I guess I’ll see you at MIT if I can find some way to afford it.
BTW, another TX admit here. Cement Capital of, Texas.
Hahaha. I’m so happy!
Now I have to take my economics final. Let’s hope the high won’t wear off.
