REJECTED BY MIT
Zhong Liang approached me and asked my about my MIT admission decision. I was like, “Not out yet what…”
Then he said, “But hey, my friend already knows that he got waitlisted through e-mail.”
“Huh, I never received any e-mail…” (still skeptical) Blur me…
So my heart jumped and I went directly to mitadmissions.org to track my application status. Entered my username and password twice and then THIS page popped out:
Dear Ern Sheong,
The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application, and I am so sorry to tell you that we are unable to offer you admission to MIT.
Please understand that this is in no way a judgment of you as a student or as a person, since our decision has more to do with the applicant pool than anything else - most of our applicants are not admitted simply because we do not have enough space in our entering class. This year we had almost 13,500 candidates for fewer than 1,600 offers of admission, from which will come our 1,000 freshmen. Since all of our decisions are made at one time and all available spaces have been committed, all decisions are final.
I am very sorry to bring you this disappointing news, and I wish you the very best as you continue with your education.
Sincerely,
Stuart Schmill
Interim Director of Admissions
No wonder I did not get any e-mail from them yet…
Haha… no comments… 1 down 4 to go. Come on Stanford…!!!!!

Does the bearer of bad news get shot?
Hey man, I’m in the same boat. Hopefully we both get into Stanford. The weather is much better in Cali anyway!
MIT is not the only great college in the world. Good luck with Stanford.
@Zhong Liang: no man the bearer of bad news gets a big hug. *hug*

Haha, maybe that was a very random thought.
Any idea where Han Ern is furthering his studies though?
I have just been hopping blogs.
@Passer-By: hmmmm who are you actually? i never kept in touch with Han Ern nowadays… dif frequency la basically… i think Han Ern applied to US but also considering Singapore (same situation like mine la haha)
