- Concept : An MMT story always starts with 'Today' and ends with 'MMT.' All stories are limited to 300 characters. We would love to hear your story. So, what's got you thinking today?
- If your story isn't published on our homepage, please don't feel offended. We love reading all of your submissions, but we can't possibly publish them all. Note: If your MMT story gives us something to think about, it will be published.

Today, I got my acceptance and full scholarship to MIT. Now my single mother can use the money she's been saving for the past eighteen years from working four jobs to give herself the better life she deserves. MMT

Not to be a spoilsport, but MIT doesn't send out acceptances in February...

MMT posts don't go up instantly. I think it takes a while for them to be reviewed or something like that. Maybe a matter of months. Anyone know how it works?
