Yeah, I second Tradeoff. Give them a call. It's nerve-wracking.

Although I suspect that if it's a decision letter, it can only mean one thing. I'm sorry to be a pessimist, I do hope I'm wrong.

Well, i have to admit - MIT people are smart - they send out all the dings right before they go on vacation so no one can bother them with phone calls.

Just called. The office is going to be closed until next week. I tried entering a service request - didnt work from Firefox or IE.

Yikes, talk about hit and run! Fingers crossed for all you blank screeners and the rest of us who haven't heard anything yet.

My hope is that for those of us getting the "blank screen" it means that the system is getting an error trying to access a different message. Most likely would be a deferral to round 2, since none of us getting the blank screen appear to have been interviewed. I was deferred last year, which is almost worse than a ding.

Anyone have any luck getting through to AdCom?

I am officially dinged now :-D
Just got a second email from MIT.
The blank page was replaced by the DING LETTER

You could not echo my sentiment any better -

Time for "Reflecting on my past life, and it does'nt have much time" - ala iron maiden to find how to get in

Dinged.
This is the only college which rejected me w/o an interview call. Atleast better than those who rejected after an interview or waitlisted after a good interview.
Merry Christmas to everybody!!
