End of May updates

End of May updates It was a nice, relaxing 3-day weekend here. Summer has arrived in Boston. Now, after a lull in posting over the holiday and during yesterdays Admissions staff retreat, heres another quick update: We admitted another 10 students from the waitlist on Friday. I dont know if well take more people from the waitlist; Ill let you know when I know more. Some people do remain on the waitlist. Unfortunately, I have to take back what I said in a previous entry: I am no longer able to make it to the Penn State site of the American Regions Math League (ARML) this weekend. Im pretty bummed about it, but I know that there will be many more times when I can see awesome math people. Ill be seeing you. To answer some recent comments: Bostons Bollywood movies are mostly shown by Bombay Cinema at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square, 4 short subway stops north of MITs campus. They get only the biggest releases, like Fanaa (which I saw this weekend), or the upcoming Krrish and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. There was a nice article I meant to link to a while back about technical theater at MIT (you did know we have a Theater Depatment, right?). More to come
