Smart kids are always smart. They are focused. They don't have time to deal with trivialities.

Or accept and take a gap year to do that. Then, come back for a semester, and apply again a further leave of absence

Rejected. Makes me (and perhaps him) feel better to know that he could have been better than 95% of the applicants (to MIT!) and still not have gotten in.



The turnaround is He will now get to decide the school that gets to have him! Their loss.


Hope so! He's already got a very good option in Northeastern, which checks a lot of boxes for him, as well as a few in-state options (though he was deferred from UVa early action). I'm sure he will do well wherever he ends up. MIT is a longshot for (almost) anybody, particularly someone with his profile.

Friend’s DD, bi-racial, also high stats, full IB, rejected yesterday after EA deferral. Girl is waiting on acre Ivies and CMU.

To those accepted, congratulations! Job well done.

Everyone else, congratulation still for a job well done. Schools like MIT is just not big enough to take in all of the talents they meet. Don’t fret. There is a great school waiting to embrace you and everything you have to offer. Good luck for the rest of the admission season. I hope you are starting to make fun plans for the summer. You deserve it!!!



Congrats on CMU! What field? Any feedback?


CS. It is not easy, but no regret . BTW, DS didn’t go to a STEM magnet high school but met new friends who did. The first semester was rough for DS but he is doing great this semester. I guess he used the first semester to “catch-up” as some of the concepts taught then were reviews for the kids from magnet high schools. He has commented on how much he loves the company of like minded peers. It is high pressure but not cutthroat. kids are supportive of each other.

My DC from magnet was waitlisted for Caltech over the weekend and is hoping he would get into MIT. What does waitlist for Caltech mean, and chances of getting in? His dream school is MIT.

Can people share stats of their DC awaiting acceptances today for MIT?


DS accepted! So happy for him, was his dream school. Any questions, happy to answer.


Congrats!
