Waitlist Decision from MIT Admissions

Published on May 21, 2008 in College Admissions. 1 Comment Tags: .

Got this email from MIT yesterday:

I’m sorry to write with the disappointing news that we won’t be able to admit you from the waitlist this year. (You’ll receive an official letter in the mail, but I wanted to let you know as soon as possible.)  I know that you’ll have a terrific and successful experience wherever you choose to enroll next year and I wish you the best of luck as you continue your education.

Sincerely,

Stu Schmill
Dean of Admissions

I’m glad to finally have an answer, regardless of what it was. I did my best and that’s all I could have asked for.

A quick side note; I wish the Dean of Admissions at MIT didn’t send the same email to 52 other students on the waitlist, thereby releasing the email addresses (personally identifiable information) of the 52 other students to all 53 recipients. That’s not all that technically savvy, tragically.

It took me a while to decide whether or not to write this post. I thought about it, and I started this blog to document my college admissions process, from beginning to end, in its entirety – good or bad – so, here goes.

I’ve been put on MIT’s waiting list. Not accepted, not denied; I’m on the waiting list.

I’ll be writing a more detailed post this weekend.

MIT Interview

I have an interview with an MIT alumnus on January 9th.

Advice? I’m talking personal advice, not anything that I could get from Google. But really, I’d be grateful for anything, really.
