Congratulations! You are an outstanding candidate. My bet was based on the MIT acceptance rate more than an assessment of your application. I wish you the best of luck.
@astyerche I am not sure if I received the fencing coach's support. Asking to see, although I do expect to fence at least somewhat during freshman year
I have received word that the decisions may be posted slightly earlier than 12:16 to prevent servers from crashing. As a result, I have moved the closing time forward to 12:10PM ET.
