So, apparently I’ve been wait listed from being admitted to The Media Lab at MIT.
Thank you for your application to the graduate program in Media Arts and Sciences at MIT. It is not possible for us to accept every qualified applicant at this time. Therefore, we have placed your name on our “waiting list.”
This reminds me of the time when I was on the MIT waiting list for my undergrad application, a little less than 8 years ago. But then I got rejected so I went off to Georgia Tech instead. The waiting list is a funny place to be. So I guess I’ll just wait, hang tight, and if one of the other people drops, I’ll have a shot. 
Hello… what happened with your Media Lab waiting list situation? I had been waitlisted myself this year…
thanks for your reply!
