I don’t mean to scare you, but they changed the prompt this year😭
MIT brings people with diverse backgrounds and experiences together to better the lives of others. Our students work to improve their communities in different ways, from tackling the world’s biggest challenges to being a good friend. Describe one way you have collaborated with people who are different from you to contribute to your community. (225 words)
fallen marsh
No shot

That's what it was in the MIT application for me
karmic hinge
Yeah same

I kinda still wrote about that tho ig
grave cedar
It shouldn’t matter too much tho
fallen marsh
Why'd they change it
grave cedar
Cause they’re hoes
karmic hinge
As long as you showed SOME differences it’ll be fine
proper oriole
real
fallen marsh
Fr
karmic hinge
Doesn’t have to be the main focus
karmic hinge
Cuz it says like people who are different from u
fallen marsh
Dude I didn't even know there was supposed to be a different person
Oh no
I didn't do that
The run is over guys
It was a nice marathon while it lasted
royal wigeon
you guys didn't have the essay about massachusettes governor Charlie Baker?
I had to write a whole love letter to him
fallen marsh
Saturday
karmic hinge
Oh yeah it’s past midnight here lol
royal wigeon
exactly its not over until it's over
fallen marsh
But no my essay answered the fiest prompt I sent
Not that one
Shit bro
I swear I copy and pasted from the MIT page to a doc
karmic hinge
you guys didn't have the essay about massachusettes governor Charlie Baker?
I actually got one where I had to write a haiku to the MIT Dean of Admissions
fallen marsh
It's the second one sent
Haiku letter
I sent it to the Harvard dean of admissions on accident
karmic hinge
Yeah plot twist, they expected us to merge both
royal wigeon
aren't they literally the same prompt reworded
grave cedar
Yeah pretty much
The second one is like a little more specific
But as long as you show contribution it shouldn’t matter too much
fallen marsh
wait are we talking fr here or haiku
royal wigeon
I sent it to the Harvard dean of admissions on accident
ah don't worry I received yours
royal wigeon
wait are we talking fr here or haiku

karmic hinge
Oh the real ones yeah
royal wigeon
they're basically the same prompt don't stress

Alright then
royal wigeon
I read your application already
fallen marsh
what u gotta say about it
karmic hinge
Yeah I snuck into their office and made sure it was in the admit pile
fallen marsh
1-5 whats the rating
royal wigeon
I wasn't so sure about the essay written about how harvard is objectively a better school
but
I'd give ya a solid 4
royal wigeon
also listing "mom's favorite son" as an national award was a bit iffy
but hey
to each their own
karmic hinge
Did yours write your commonapp essay too?
royal wigeon
no gtp-3 did
karmic hinge
Mine asked the AOs to “pretty please” let me in

Your personality (and if you're really passionate about something) is still really important
If you've already won an olympiad, and your other academics/ECs are great, you're already doing really well
What matters is that you're passionate about what you want to do, and that you fit in well with MIT
Personality is really important for MIT, so it's possible that AOs just thought that most of your cracked friends wouldn't fit in well there, even if they were otherwise well qualified

Maybe, the more suspense they get applicants to feel before the decision, the more likely the accepted people are to commit to the school, as the acceptance elicits stronger emotions.

it legit gives actionable advice to better your essays
also ive been making it rate mines for fun
my average score has been 7/10
which isn't bad i guess
but now my goal is to get them to 10/10
I got one 8/10 and I was excied
excited*
bitter tapir
does its rating thing actually work
its given every single one of my essays the same rating
fallen marsh
I have no clue
but i got one difference
and that made me determined to show the AI i am better
even thought the AOs may not think so
fallow thunder
Maybe it's the same as !chance here lol
fallen marsh
Well
the John Hopkins essays that worked all got 8/10
i think it is very difficult to get to 9/10
I dont think its gonna be something definitive
but it can give you insight on how to make essays better definetely
karmic hinge
What did you ask it to rate your essays

fallen marsh
What did you ask it to rate your essays
^
karmic hinge
Mine is being all ethical and says “It is not appropriate for me to assign a rating or score to the essay you have written. My role is simply to provide feedback and suggestions for improvement, rather than to evaluate the quality of your work.”
Like bruh reduce me to a number pls I’m begging 😭
autumn karma
i ran my why uchicago and it said it was "very well-writen" and stuff but no number score
autumn karma
oh ok thx
bitter tapir
it gave me 9’s on every essay
autumn karma
still got no number 💀
bitter tapir
never a 10 though 😢
karmic hinge
I said “grade this essay out of 10 for this prompt”
fallen marsh
but be careful
bitter tapir
still got no number 💀
tell it explicitly to rate out of 10
fallen marsh
run the same command twice
karmic hinge
And copied the prompt and the essay
fallen marsh
and i got two different rating
karmic hinge
Yeah it gave me an 8 now
bitter tapir
yeah which is why i think it doesnt really matter
karmic hinge
I don’t trust the number rating but the feedback is not bad
bitter tapir
it can only tell you if your essays are really off the mark
karmic hinge
Like the possible improvements that’s not bad
fallen marsh
Yes but still
usually the essays with higher ratings is probably off of the feedback of the AI
it wont be constant all the time
but if you have a 8/10 esssay
and run the essay 3 times
and keep 8/10
then thats a 8/10 essay for sure
all of my essays are 7/10 rn after repeated rating
my MIT essays were poop though
i got like
6's
autumn karma
it keeps flipping between 7-9
fallen marsh
then guess the worse
and guess its a 7
and work on the advice it gives you
it may still be a 8 out of 10 essay or something
but better to work on the advice anyway
autumn karma
yeah true, oh well it's retrospective for uchicago anyways
i'll look at it for my RDs, the tips are reallly nice
bitter tapir

its like the same but
better
less restrictions
trail grail
I ain’t a leader
thats ok mit has stated that they need a healthy community and one specific example was that they wanted less leaders in their pool
cuz people tend to have a natural "leader = good"
so its not too bad
after all to have leaders u also need people to follow
fallen marsh
ok guys
this bot kinda sucks
i told it to write me a good essay
and it gave me this
I have always been a driven and determined person, but it was not until I faced a significant challenge that I truly learned the value of perseverance and resilience.
During my junior year of high school, I was selected to join a highly competitive internship program at a leading tech company. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest in the industry and to gain valuable experience in my field of interest.
However, just a few weeks into the program, I encountered a setback that threatened to derail my entire experience. I was struggling to keep up with the demanding workload and was struggling to grasp the complex concepts that were being taught. Despite my best efforts, I found myself falling behind and feeling overwhelmed.
At first, I was devastated. I had always excelled academically and had never encountered a challenge that I couldn't overcome. But as I grappled with my own feelings of failure and disappointment, I realized that this was an opportunity to learn and grow.
I sought out additional support and resources, such as tutoring and study groups, and I worked even harder to understand the material. I also learned the importance of seeking help when needed and not being afraid to ask for assistance.
Through perseverance and determination, I was able to turn things around and finish the program with a strong performance. But more importantly, I learned a valuable lesson about the importance of resilience and the value of facing and overcoming challenges.
This experience taught me that setbacks and failures are a natural part of life and that it is how we respond to them that truly matters. It has also taught me to be more resilient and to never give up, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. These lessons have stayed with me and have helped me to achieve success in my academic and personal endeavors.
And i rated it
it got 8/10

is it worth submitting 1390 to MIT with 800 in Math
raven sonnet
you have to submit whatever sat score you got
haha yeah i meant if it would let me stand any chance
autumn karma
Yes
There's no hard cut offs or anythimg
As long as your score isn't obscenely low
raven sonnet
There's no hard cut offs or anythimg
wanna chance me? i will dm you
autumn karma
I don't do that
rare oracle
is it worth submitting 1390 to MIT with 800 in Math
gonna be real with ya
if your other sections aren't exceptional - low chances
but it aint test optional, so not like you have a choice
raven sonnet
but it aint test optional, so not like you have a choice
true so either way rejected
raven sonnet
I don't do that
no worries :)))
if anyone of you would chance me i would be grateful
rare oracle
my suggestion? asking people to know your chances is kinda pointless, end of the day you either get in or you don't
Asking your chances won't change your chances
Up to you though
exotic gust
It just provides a temporary feel of achievement or failure that will either be reinforced or overthrown by the true descion

6-4 is a bit of a unicorn major for me

I'd honestly rather just get rejected so I don't have to wait
