Quick Update

Quick Update New years eve here in Karachi. Assault rifle fire is really loud. I can hear the pings of bullets landing in the street. As long as the electricity is flowing and the guns are shooting, Ill be awake in the basement and away from windows ready to answer your questions with the new and improved application deadline quickly approaching. Heres a picture. Enjoy, good luck, and feel free to email me at the address in the banner. Have a happy and safe new year. Quick update I guess the folks who staff the phones in MIT Admissions received lots of calls today, with many references to my blog. Below are the FAQs. Q. If selection is over, can I have my decision? A. The selection committee is over, but there are still many more steps until decisions are finalized. At this point, no decisions are final. When decisions are finalized, we will mail them, sometime in mid-March. Decisions will not be available over the phone or the web. Q. If selection is over, does this mean I dont have to send in the midyear report? A. No, you must send in the midyear report. Q. Can I still send in extra materials? A. While it is too late for extra materials to be reviewed in selection committee, any significant updates will be reviewed by an admissions officer. Im trying to post an entry soon answering your other recent questions. Its been busy lately Quick update In honor of my trip to the OC, Ben made this for me: And the link of the day: The Art of Problem Solving (more on this next entry) A longer update soon
