Moments before MIT’s EA release time at 12:14 pm EST, It still did not occur to me why MIT chose this time. Then the applicant said “because today is December 14, logically, the time has to be 12:14”. A memorable moment of time for those who are admitted, and a moment will soon be forgotten by all others.
This decision DOES NOT define you, admitted, rejected or deferred.
Proud of him though he was deferred.
