Hey Andrew, something occurred to me just now, and I wanted to ask you
about it.
You sent this announcement at 1am on Wednesday. The deadline you gave
was 11 hours from the announcement. Given that most MIT students are
asleep during that period, that gives a potential applicant
approximately 3 hours to read your email, decide whether or not to
apply, look over the list of committees, decide which to apply to, and
fill out your seven short-answer questions. And that's assuming that
this person had nothing better to do and didn't have to look up anything
or call anyone to see if they would potentially have any time conflicts
with serving on an institute committee.
Did you send an earlier announcement to mailing lists of which I am not
a member?
