Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (2023-2024)

[austere vapor]

my interviewer and i bonded over calculating missle trajectories

[eternal jasper]

tbh i think my interview went good but I didn't talk too much

it was like 2 hours tho

[dawn glen]

wait did anyone have it in person

[eternal jasper]

so that might be a good sign

no mine was on zoom

[austere vapor]

yes; at a dunkins was like 2hrs

[fringe cave]

yeah zoom

[remote vessel]

like 90 minutes

[eternal jasper]

i didn't talk about science at all basically

it was kind of sick

[remote vessel]

my interviewer's kids came in mid zoom call and i recommended him some rubiks cubes since he did it too

crazy experience

[austere vapor]

whats ur best solve time

[remote vessel]

12.34

I like 2x2 more though

[austere vapor]

damn. cfop?

[eternal jasper]

my younger brother does cubing too

[remote vessel]

cfop

[dawn glen]

at one point my interviewer started talking about his start up lol

[austere vapor]

impressive

one dude at my summer program averaged like 7s i think it was wild

[remote vessel]

I'm sub 2 on 2x2 though

lmao

[eternal jasper]

my brother has way too many cubes lmao

[remote vessel]

I have like

50

[eternal jasper]

bruh

[remote vessel]

HEEELP

HELP ME

HELP ME

[eternal jasper]

he's gonna be like you in a few years

he buys the new cubes every year like iphones 💀

[remote vessel]

I also own like 30kg of 3d printer filament

[eternal jasper]

i wish i had a 3d printer

[remote vessel]

Bambu Lab A1 Mini

like $300

[eternal jasper]

but my internship has like every 3d printer lmao

[remote vessel]

worth

oh yeah thats the other thing on my application that i think is really good

3d printing

between a business and general hobby and running a club off it and shit

i hate my school so its my only club

[eternal jasper]

my school doesn't have clubs 💀

they have like 2, but they're dumb

national honors society, and HOSA, which is a medical related club

other than that kids don't care at all about clubs

[remote vessel]

if mit turns me down they are turning down god

same with you

[eternal jasper]

so real

tbh tho i'm expecting a big fat deferral

[fringe cave]

Did anyone else just not do the CSS and the IDOC yet

I swear they didnt send any emails

[eternal jasper]

i did them, but technically you're not required to have them in for a little while, but I'd def do them if you get deferred

[fringe cave]

i mean they were due the 30th

[eternal jasper]

although the IDOC still hasn't reached MIT yet even though i sent it like two weeks before

[eternal jasper]

yeah, but they are lenient with the deadline. They do say that you will get your financial aid later if you submit the info late

[fringe cave]

@remote vessel are you part of AI_Peter

[gusty siren]

im thinking abt getting that, is it worth it?

it looks so hot

[solid comet]

sameeeee

my idoc has been status recieved on idoc ittself since like 10 days now

[elder vine]

do you have your own personal printer?

i got one to print dnd minis but it broke 😦

[remote vessel]

three

[elder vine]

nice which ones?

[remote vessel]

I wanna but don't get that get the normal A1 that just came out

[elder vine]

i have an ender 3 (currently broken) and a flashforge printer

[remote vessel]

was, left because it kinda sucked

[remote vessel]

Ender 3 modded to SHIT
Sovol SV04 (300x300x400mm IDEX)
Prusa Mini

[exotic briar]

it’s so joever

[remote vessel]

actually no really sucked

[elder vine]

what do you mostly use them for?

[remote vessel]

unironically i changed the course of the internet and ai forever lmao

[remote vessel]

Prusa for general stuff, other 2 for business

[fringe cave]

you are actually cool I hope you get in over me

[eternal jasper]

I actually think today is the 10th business day since i sent it lol, hopefully it goes through soon

[elder vine]

we are all going to get in TRUST

[eternal jasper]

but I think it's fine because they can see the date you submitted the documents

i hope we all get in including me

because I want my cake and to eat it too

[drowsy ether]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZGCiwM7fd0 this u?

[solid comet]

is it not processed on idoc itself?

[remote vessel]

🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐🦐

[solid comet]

if yea thats a different thing mine has been processed on idoc on 10 days but nothing on MIT fin aid portal 😭

[gusty siren]

im debating between the mini or ender 3

[eternal jasper]

mine still hasn't been processed on IDOC

[elder vine]

ender 3

[remote vessel]

GET THE A1 TRUST

[eternal jasper]

its just sitting in the "uploaded" section 💀

[remote vessel]

TRUST

[austere vapor]

wtf this mean

[eternal jasper]

it's ok I'll worry about finaid when I get in 😊

[elder vine]

microcenter has a sale for ender 3 for 99 bucks

[remote vessel]

ai sponge discord server inside joke that i refuse to let go

[solid comet]

i uploaded on 19th and mine got processed on 5th so youre fine

[remote vessel]

micro center my beloved

[eternal jasper]

oh ok, yeah it must be taking a really long time

[solid comet]

[eternal jasper]

[elder vine]

[solid comet]

and MIT itself hasnt shown it as recieved since hten

its been a week 😭

[eternal jasper]

i'm gonna have a panic attack when we get under 24 hours

[elder vine]

one of my friends had a nightmare about mit

[solid comet]

what about when it was under 48 hours

[solid comet]

did the campus like eat them or smthng

[elder vine]

he had 3 consecutive dreams where he got accepted, deffered, and rejected in each of them

woke up in a cold sweat

[austere vapor]

my panic sets in tmrw before i go to sleep since when i wake up ill look at it first thing

[eternal jasper]

lmao

[solid comet]

ive only been having the accepting ones 😭

so many of them tho 💀

[eternal jasper]

SAME i'm literally waking up, seeing my parents so they can wish me luck, and then i'm going to be alone to open it

[gusty siren]

fr?

[fringe cave]

Im opening it with my buddy who also applied

[solid comet]

mine comes like 11pm my timezone ill have to lock myself in

[elder vine]

i think so but its only available certain times

[eternal jasper]

oof

bruh i cannot be around anyone when i get the decision, i will literally be too nervous to think

[gusty siren]

But the A1 look so much hotter compared to the ender 😫

[eternal jasper]

i'm gonna be shaking so hard i can't enter my password to the portal

[gusty siren]

I heard ender 3 has a auto base lvlinf issue

that true??

[austere vapor]

my summer program wants to open them up as a group but i dont wanna get rejected in front of an audience lmao

[elder vine]

yeah the base leveling is awful on it

have to relevel before each print

[fringe cave]

i need someone to stop me from finding the nearest roof to jump off of lol

[eternal jasper]

same lol i just want to scream and cry into my pillow for a few minutes before seeing a person again

[austere vapor]

rejected, deffered, or accepted im screaming into my pillow

[south hedge]

so real

[eternal jasper]

tbh if i get rejected i'll probably just stare blankly at the screen for awhile

[fringe cave]

no matter what im drinking

[elder vine]

real

[solid comet]

rejected deferred ill scream into my pillow accepted ill scream to the entire house tbh

[eternal jasper]

and then rage write like 10 supps for my RD schools lol

[austere vapor]

if i get rejected id sad cry; if i get deffered id stoic cry; and if i get accepted id ugly cry

[eternal jasper]

that's my plan

[eternal jasper]

lmao stoic cry

[elder vine]

tbh rather be rejected then deffered

deffered is basically rejected but you have to wait longer

[eternal jasper]

i'm not embarrassed to say that i'm probably going to cry before i open it 💀

[solid comet]

tthey defer like everyone sed

[eternal jasper]

i will not be able to control myself

[austere vapor]

ill pray to all the gods and then open it

[elder vine]

isnt the post defference acceptance rate like 1%?

[austere vapor]

me becoming religious right b4 i open it be like

[austere vapor]

1.8%

[eternal jasper]

rip

but the post rejection acceptance rate is 0

[elder vine]

yeah but then I can move on to other schools

[solid comet]

the post acceptance rejection rate isnt 0 tho im sure

[south hedge]

mental health is temporary 1.8% accept from defer is forever

[eternal jasper]

true

[gusty siren]

what makes applying to mit ea better compared to rd?

[eternal jasper]

i get a decision earlier

[south hedge]

its not better its different

[eternal jasper]

that might be it

[swift citrus]

u get the decision earlier

[gusty siren]

Isnt it harder tho 😭

[eternal jasper]

idk

[swift citrus]

not rlly

[gusty siren]

like more competitive

[south hedge]

different applicant pools

[eternal jasper]

i'm built different tho

[south hedge]

you cant rly tell

[solid comet]

MIT is just competitive altogether

[swift citrus]

more competitive ppl apply but they take that into account

plus most mit applicants are very competitive in the first ppace

[south hedge]

thats why defer exists

oh okk

[inland flicker]

time to lock in AP Calc BC assignment due in an hour and haven't started

[eternal jasper]

rip bozo

what unit are you on

[inland flicker]

7

[eternal jasper]

does your school make you take AB before BC

mine does

[remote vessel]

mine will next year

[inland flicker]

no; but I took Dual Calc I last year so basically

[eternal jasper]

so i took AB last year so this year we just cruised through the review units and then now we're on the BC stuff

[river sky]

BC traumatized me bru

actually no it was art that traumatized me

[acoustic folio]

Maybe that too lol
What do u do when procrastinating?

[eternal jasper]

did you take bc as a sophomore

[river sky]

frosh

[eternal jasper]

bruh what kind of school do you go to

[swift citrus]

[river sky]

idk theres something in the water here

[swift citrus]

i’m taking bc rn

[eternal jasper]

BC is blocked to only seniors at my school, and only like 10 of us take it every year

[river sky]

its okay im not even ranked top 10% 💀

[swift citrus]

bro

[eternal jasper]

wow

[swift citrus]

what school is that

[river sky]

dfw public school

nothing more 😇

[inland flicker]

im ranked numero uno

[eternal jasper]

same

good thing it says that on my transcript because mit doesn't ask for that

[river sky]

im friends with like the entire top 10 at two schools 💀

except for #7 at my old school who called me an ape once

[eternal jasper]

nobody knows their rank at my school

[austere vapor]

second decile cuz my school does gpa in an idiotic way where 1st is impossible w/o music courses.
however. school doesnt report!

[river sky]

mean!

[eternal jasper]

there's no weighted gpa, so i'm tied with all of the other people with a 4.0

mit doesn't know that though

[river sky]

MIT knows everything lol

[eternal jasper]

even the contents of my soul?

[austere vapor]

and your genetic makeup

[eternal jasper]

100% cool

[austere vapor]

100% rejected

jk lmao u getting in

[eternal jasper]

i know 🥶

you too

[austere vapor]

guess we both know 🥶

[inland flicker]

just finished my AP Calc BC assignment

[eternal jasper]

lets go

[inland flicker]

goated

[eternal jasper]

i dont want to go to bed

[fierce gust]

too good

[inland flicker]

I want to see my MIT decision

[eternal jasper]

[fierce gust]

meanwhile i havent done my ap french assignment which is just writing what we want to do over break 💀

its been like 3 hours

[inland flicker]

in 42 minutes it will be tomorrow

[fierce gust]

ive been panicking

[inland flicker]

in fRENCH?

My school offers no languages other than Spanish and Latin

[fierce gust]

yea

[austere vapor]

spanish and french are the common offered languages

[eternal jasper]

my school has spanish and japanese

[fierce gust]

we have spanish, french, latin, and chinese

[inland flicker]

bro japanese would be cool

[remote vessel]

latin mfs rise up

[eternal jasper]

imagine speaking a dead language

[eternal jasper]

it is cool, except my japanese teacher doesn't teach us shit

everything i've learned has been on my own, in class we don't do anything and half of the kids complain when our teacher tries to teach us new vocabulary

it sucks

[inland flicker]

I like how MIT refuses to be like hte other Ivies

Thursday? Nah lame
Friday? pfft Brown
Sat? 😎

[fierce gust]

mit is just quirky like that

[swift citrus]

first decision tmr and next decision saturday

[fierce gust]

[fierce gust]

yes

sorry miters

[inland flicker]

[fierce gust]

😔

[inland flicker]

[fierce gust]

i was gonna get deferred anyway

[inland flicker]

I'm going to be crying no matter what happens Saturday

[swift citrus]

YUP!

[inland flicker]

rejected? crying as I prepare to jump off a cliff
deferred? crying bc I have to do 9 more RD apps potentially for nothing
accepted? crying bc so happy

[swift citrus]

[fierce gust]

waiting

[swift citrus]

i can’t tell what’s worse

[drowsy ether]

i dont understand how this channel is so dead

is no one from a2c applying

[inland flicker]

Wdym dead

I’ve sent a message here like everyday

I check !mit everyday

[drowsy ether]

its the same ppl but with other schools there are way more ppl and messages daily

[inland flicker]

Not much to talk abt tho we already applied

Maybe more influx when RD ppl start asking questions as deadline approaches

[fringe cave]

I bet the channel will be pretty active on saturday

[inland flicker]

Yeah lots of us needing hugs on Saturday

🫂

[drowsy ether]

honestly i wouldve applied here but they defer way too many ppl

why cant they just be like stanford and defer 10%

or yale or wtv

[eternal jasper]

because mit is not like the other girls

[drowsy ether]

i guess its better than harvard at 83% lol

[eternal jasper]

did they actually defer 83%???

that's insane

[inland flicker]

All the ivies so far had a decrease in deferral rates this year. Im@hoping same with MIT

[eternal jasper]

they're not like USC, who either accepts or defers everyone EA

0% rejection rate EA babyyyyyyy

[drowsy ether]

ya also im pretty sure there are way less than 83% that are even academically qualified for harvard

i think its like 30% of applicants arent qualified cuz everyone applies there

[eternal jasper]

all of the people like "omg im gonna apply to harvard for fun just in case because i'm so quirky"

[drowsy ether]

legally blonde and every other mainstream show/movie promoting harvard be like:

[swift citrus]

😭 guilty

[drowsy ether]

same 😭

[eternal jasper]

spider man went to mit so i'm going to too

i will be peter parker's roommate

[drowsy ether]

[solid comet]

spidy got rejected first

had to wipe everyones mind to be accepted again

go do that

[eternal jasper]

yeah i'm actually spider man but you all forgot about me

[drowsy ether]

ill never cheat on tim (the beaver) ❤️

the caltech beaver is called "Bernoulli"

[eternal jasper]

i don't know if it was last year or two years ago but apparently the acceptance letter had beaver confetti

[solid comet]

it does

last year i think

[eternal jasper]

maybe they'll have it this year

i hope

[drowsy ether]

what an awful name lol

[solid comet]

poor bernoulli spent all his life to be known as the caltech beaver

rip

[eternal jasper]

HOLY SHIT

[drowsy ether]

i think they always have confetti

[eternal jasper]

TIM IS MIT SPELLED BACKWARDS

do any of you guys have plans for looking at the letter lmao

[sharp pier]

have a camera filming

[cyan kite]

I'm setting my alarm on Saturday for 11:16 my time so I can wake up, walk to my computer, and refresh the page

Lol fair

[sharp pier]

its 8 pm my time so thats no problem

but i have school on sunday

[cyan kite]

Ah yeah

[sharp pier]

and regardless of the result i don't think i'll be prepared to go

[cyan kite]

I feel that

[eternal jasper]

yeah it's 10:16 my time so i'm literally sitting up in bed, grabbing my laptop, and checking

if i get in, i scream, if i don't, i lay back down

[cyan kite]

the laptop strat is meta ngl

I may have to incorporate that

[eternal jasper]

true

i'm not brave enough to record myself

i also wouldn't post it anywhere even if i got in so there's no point

[cyan kite]

I told my friend "I'm going to call you at 11:16 AM and you can tell what the result is based on whether I'm talking or screaming" lol

[sharp pier]

i really do believe in (positive thinking brings positive results)

so put that camera

u can delete later

[eternal jasper]

you might be right

i've been manifesting hard for the past week

[cyan kite]

I am the exact opposite lmao

I've just been trying to come up with a second choice out of the rest I have

Not that it really matters

[sharp pier]

why double the pain by being negative

one pain per rejection (if rejected) is enough

[eternal jasper]

you got it figured out

[cyan kite]

That is a 100% perfectly valid way to do things but I prefer expecting the negative result rather than being caught off guard

[eternal jasper]

personally, my strategy is to get accepted so I don't have to worry about feeling sad 😎

[cyan kite]

LOL

true

[sharp pier]

lmao

where else are u guys applying ?

Uiuc purdue UofM Duluth cmu uofwash Cornell Harvard (?)

so far i've submitted a few applications, but the only ones that come out in december are mit and uchicago

but i've also done purdue, gatech, USC, and UW

[cyan kite]

My options are limited bc I don't wanna go anywhere below Kansas bc of the heat lmao

[sharp pier]

u are from the us?

[cyan kite]

Yeah, Minnesota

[sharp pier]

i took one look at uchicago supps and noped out of there

[cyan kite]

U Chicago supps scary as hell

[sharp pier]

i also felt they are a trap

like they give u all these weird prompts

[tulip halo]

MIT EA Date

MIT EA decisions come out <t:1702746960:F> in your local time
1 day, 10 hours and 12 minutes until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[sharp pier]

but the true answer is being weirder and finding a weirder prompt

[eternal jasper]

i thought for a long time about my uchicago supps, but those are the essays i think i'm most proud of lol

[cyan kite]

I literally worked like 3 days straight on my mit essays

And prepped for 6 hrs before my interview

[sharp pier]

i think if you are brave enough to apply you already deserve to go

they didn't scare you like we did

[sharp pier]

i didn't get an interview 😭

[cyan kite]

Rip 😭

At least admit chances for no interview are identical for yea interview

Iirc

[eternal jasper]

declining an interview is apparently really bad, but if you're not offered one it shouldn't matter

[sharp pier]

last time i checked no one in my country or any country around it got an iterview

[cyan kite]

I did mine over zoom

[eternal jasper]

same

[sharp pier]

but that was on dec 6th so idk if it changed after that

[cyan kite]

Fair

[sharp pier]

i read somewhere that people show up late ??? to their mit interview

i would be up for the previous 72 hours

[cyan kite]

I believe so too

[eternal jasper]

why would you do that lol

[sharp pier]

just waiting at my laptop

[eternal jasper]

i got on the zoom 5 minutes early and the dude was already chilling there so we started early and i wasn't ready 😭

but it went good so it's ok

[sharp pier]

they usully want to write good stuff

so unless you really really do something horrible

ur good

[eternal jasper]

yeah, my interviewer said that he's put specific things like "pay attention to this person" and they all still have gotten rejected

sadly i think that the interview is a very very small part

[deep aurora]

Mine just let me stare at the camera for 5 minutes until he turned on his

[river sky]

i find it difficult for the interview to go anything BUT good if you're not a complete nervous wreck, a walking red flag, or an absolute bot

[eternal jasper]

yeah lol, everyone on here pretty universally said that their interview was great

like if i were an interviewer i'd try so hard to write a good report

[sharp pier]

but thats kind of counterproductive if everyone gets an equally good review

[river sky]

well yeah im pretty sure the interview is just to gather a bit more data for the "fit" of the applicant while also filtering out a few people

it's usually not going to "get your application to the finish line"

[hollow sedge]

scrambling to get the forms and recs in for mit app moment

[river sky]

dont u have another 2 weeks tho

[drowsy ether]

i think at most top schools unless the interviewer gives a the absolute highest or even second highest rating on their rating system it won't rlly change the application outcome

[hollow sedge]

yes but winter break is very soon

[normal blaze]

how does this even work

[eternal jasper]

i wonder what the form looks like for mit interviewers

[normal blaze]

LOL felt i just confirmed my recs and stuff for mit today

[drowsy ether]

i think interviewers rate u sometimes or they write a report which the school uses to rate you

[eternal jasper]

i wonder if there's even a rating system at all or if they just only write about you

[drowsy ether]

idk how it works for mit but for harvard they have the personality rating which considers interview, essay, and recs (1-6, 1 being the best) so unless u get 1 or 2 it wont help

[normal blaze]

oh sick

[drowsy ether]

actually anything below a 2 is bad (will hurt 100%) for harvard cuz thats when acceptance rate significantly plummets

[normal blaze]

wait do they do this for every aspect of your application

[drowsy ether]

yeah (same with other top schools)

[normal blaze]

ö

[eternal jasper]

we don't really know anything about whether mit uses a rating system or not

or what it's like if they do

[drowsy ether]

im sure mit does it too but i havent seen anything about their system

[normal blaze]

oh interesting

what are college interviews even like

like i'll have my mit one in january

but no clue how to prepare or w/e

[drowsy ether]

mostly conversational in general

just know why u wanna go to a school and have answers to the most common questions

[cyan kite]

The reddit posts abt it are pretty accutate

[normal blaze]

send link pls? not on reddit

actually sry dw about it i have google lmao

[eternal jasper]

ok good night guys

[cyan kite]

yeah I can send you my list of questions taht I prepped for if it helps

[median grotto]

What about athletics?

Is it okay to have a 4 in athletics?

[drowsy ether]

yeah

[normal blaze]

oh neat!! yeah i'd love that

[drowsy ether]

4 is fine

[median grotto]

Oh, I see.

[normal blaze]

they grade athletics???

[median grotto]

I really hope MIT counts chess for me as sport 😭.

[normal blaze]

the heck

[drowsy ether]

basically for harvard personality rating is most important from my understanding

[hollow sedge]

friendship ended with princeton
mit is new dream school because their vibes and blogs are based

[median grotto]

Oh. I did not know that. So ig having a 2 in personality is particularly important.

[drowsy ether]

cuz if u get a 3 on personality its over (like 2% chance of getting in)

[median grotto]

SHIT.

[normal blaze]

where are you getting this data

[drowsy ether]

if u get a 2 its like 25%+

[median grotto]

Is 1242 good?

[normal blaze]

wait that's really high :O

[median grotto]

for an intl.

[drowsy ether]

i saw it on some blog its def true cuz its from their 2019 lawsuit

[normal blaze]

wow

[drowsy ether]

yeah ur basically in with those

bro 1 in academics is cracked r u like imo gold

[median grotto]

Mediterranean math olympiad gold.

[normal blaze]

wait what does that mean 😭

like the scores??

what is the order

[median grotto]

1 Academics
2 ECs
4 Athletics
2 Personality.

[normal blaze]

mm

[median grotto]

The only one I'm scared about ofc is the fourth.

[drowsy ether]

[normal blaze]

and these are self rated numbers

[median grotto]

yeah.

[normal blaze]

or is there some patterning to calculate

ok

gotcha

[median grotto]

LOL I thought that was only part of the oly community.

😂

[median grotto]

even as an intl?

[drowsy ether]

if u get those ratings yeah

[median grotto]

😮

[drowsy ether]

well like 80% chance

[median grotto]

Ok yeah that's good enough.

Hopefully at MIT I have a similar chance.

[drowsy ether]

i think all schools r possible if u have good essays

[modern lava]

Well, your self ratings may not necessarily be accurate

MIT also probably doesn't use those exact ratings

Athletics might as well be part of ECs in terms of influence

Academics is odd in that it's more like a prerequisite rather than a distinguishing factor

Personality and personal characteristics is in fact the most important thing that MIT considers according to its Common Data Set at least

[drowsy ether]

this is for harvard lol

[median grotto]

ok yeah I'm assuming they are - evidently I can't rate my personality if I don't even have my Harvard essays done (but I do have my MIT ones) 😂.

[drowsy ether]

(i think)

[modern lava]

It's far more complicated than just ratings really

[modern lava]

It is

[median grotto]

at MIT and Harvard, MIT or Harvard?

[modern lava]

Basically every top school lol

[median grotto]

ok, I see 😭.

I wish shit were more objective 😭.

[modern lava]

That's the meaning of holistic admissions lol

[modern lava]

What do you mean by more objective?

[drowsy ether]

i think ratings r just there to get u into committee

from there its pretty subjective yeah

[modern lava]

Ratings are just summaries for the use of the AO

The overall rating isn't even the average of the other ratings

It's literally just vibes

[flint wigeon]

iM BACK

[modern lava]

What gets you in isn't arbitrary ratings but rather the unique contributions that you may have for the community as a whole

[median grotto]

idk like something so that I could 100% agree with AOs.

[flint wigeon]

probably gonna leave inlike

a few mins

[modern lava]

Aaaand what could that be?

[median grotto]

Olympiad results, test scores, grades.

(maybe not 100% agreeable still but still close enough)

maybe ECs I understand (this is not objective but still I understand that it can be judged easily).

[modern lava]

This significantly benefits kids with far more opportunities and also promotes a culture of sweat and academic excess

It also goes against what American Universities try to do with their education

[cyan kite]

MIT Questions:
Who are you/describe yourself
Why MIT?
Why Computer Science?
What sets MIT apart?
How can you handle MIT?
What concerns you the most about MIT?
What have you done relating to computer science?
What makes you different from the other applicants?
What are you most proud of/what is your biggest achievement?
How do you deal with stress?
What is your biggest regret in high school/what would you do differently?
What do you do for fun?
What are your passions?
What concerns you the most about MIT?
Who is your greatest influence in life?
What is the biggest non-academic challenge you’ve faced?
How did you deal with an interpersonal conflict?
Do you have any questions?

This is just a list of questions I aggregated from reddit, I got no new ones that weren't on this list

dunno i f I should delete that lol

[modern lava]

American Universities see themselves as both an educational institution and a community which allow their students to grow as people, learn from others, and become more mindful about the world

Mind and heart

Basing decisions solely on olympiad results, test scores, and grades is the antithesis of that vision

[median grotto]

I mean, sure but it kinda goes against what literally the rest of the world does.

And as such harms internationals.

[drowsy ether]

yeah unless the olympiad results r impressive

[modern lava]

And who is to say that American Universities should bend to international norms?

[drowsy ether]

i read somewhere that mit has close to a 100% acceptance rate for domestic international science olympiad medalists (IMO, IPhO, etc)

[modern lava]

The US system isn't perfect for sure, but other systems have their own issues

[solid pawn]

@modern lava Would you possibly want to read my essays? I submitted already for MIT EA and wanna know what someone thinks lol. No worries if not.

[modern lava]

Mayhaps

[median grotto]

I might be coping about the fact that I feel like the suggestions my consultant gave to my essays actually made them worse.

[solid pawn]

They’re a good read if that helps!

[modern lava]

Sure I can give a quick read

[drowsy ether]

what suggestions did they give

[median grotto]

I feel like he suggested that I talk about math way too much. Then when he helped me rewrite an essay I feel like it's hard to understand the message of the essay.

Lemme dm you some.

(if it's okay for you).

[drowsy ether]

yeah thats cool

[solid pawn]

[ionic spindle]

@fierce gust

[fierce gust]

so 1 street

[modern lava]

🫡

[ionic spindle]

they are anywhere from right next to each other to a 30 minute walk depending on where on MIT campus you are

[fierce gust]

why r there soany colleges in bodgon

[modern lava]

Bogdon

[fierce gust]

DO PPL USUALLY WALK 30 MINS?

[fringe cave]

soany

[ionic spindle]

I mean tbf you can spend 30 mins walking on MIT campus with the crazy ass construction

[fierce gust]

is this a northern thing that my rural southern brain doesnt understand

[ionic spindle]

this map doesn't account for the MIT construction/expansion

[fierce gust]

we dont walk anywhere here

[ionic spindle]

I am also from the south

[ionic spindle]

Bike, Scooter, Bus, Car, Uber, Taxi

or just walk

30 minute walk isn't bad

[modern lava]

Thats super fucking close bruv

My HS is an hour away from by apartment by foot

[fierce gust]

how many miles is 30 min walk

[fierce gust]

crazy

i could never

[ionic spindle]

About 1.5-2

[fierce gust]

i drive 7 mins to my hs

[fierce gust]

thats a 2 minute drive bro

why walk

😭

[ionic spindle]

Bro has never driven in boston

lmfao

[fierce gust]

i have never left the south

[ionic spindle]

Boston is the worst city to drive in

in the US

[fringe cave]

2 miles in boston is like a 20 minute drive

and then you wont find parking

[fierce gust]

my school is 5 miles away and takes 7 mins to get there

[ionic spindle]

parking won't get you anywhere close btw

[modern lava]

If I wanted to get to my HS on time by foot I'd need to basically run a 5k race bru

[fierce gust]

You can easily bike from MIT to Harvard in less than 5 minutes

there is a seperated bike lane that goes in a straight line between the 2

and there are shared bikes you can use if you don't have one

[eternal jasper]

me when someone asks where im going to college

”in boston”

[fierce gust]

i gotta get a bike?

UGH

harvard better pay for my bike ong

[fringe cave]

Theres rentable bikes

[ionic spindle]

No there are shared bikes

that you can use

[fierce gust]

whattt

cities r insane wtf

[ionic spindle]

I wrote that above

there are bikes you can just use

I don't know if it is free at harvard, but it is less than <100$ a year

and fin aid might cover it

[eternal jasper]

that’s sick

[ionic spindle]

also most of then are pedal electric (not the bluebikes tho)

so you don't need to be in amazing shape to go long distance

but I think most MIT students use the bluebikes, because they are discounted for MIT students

[fringe cave]

most of them walk

or invent new forms of transportation

[ionic spindle]

Depends

On campus

but in greater cambridge/across the bridge bikes are popular

and the T (subway) for distance ofc

[fringe cave]

dw class of 2028 is going to invent teleportation

Takes 1 token grabber

[drowsy ether]

why? mit is just a safety

[pale plaza]

Jet lag + mit decision crazy combo

No I’m Florida but

I’m visiting rn

[hasty crane]

i see

[deep aurora]

on my way to read shrek script 36 times

[pale plaza]

Everything so cheap here

A decent restaurant is like $2.50 usd per person lol

[hasty crane]

mit

whats the most cracked ec you've seen in #🏹-extracurriculars

[pale plaza]

I ain’t even know that was a channel

Best ec for mit

Is prolly isef grand prize

I know a few people with more advanced awards

Like real life non high school

High ranking awards in research

But for mit isef prolly looks best

Just curious

Did yall try to

Do the apply sideways bs

[eternal jasper]

i mean what else was i supposed to do

i have no crazy awards or shit

[sharp pier]

what does that mean?

[eternal jasper]

its like a famous piece of advice from an mit blogpost awhile ago

[hasty crane]

not trying to do shit that gets u into mit just coz it does

[sharp pier]

idk but for me i didn't really consider applying to any us college until i got a scholarship

that was in oct

so it was pretty late to strategize

[topaz dirge]

I feel like applying sideways is less abt getting into mit and more abt just not regretting how you spent your high school years
