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

[sharp pier]

yes

if you're getting into mit there won't be so much space for fun

so sacrificing hs and uni is too much

[hasty crane]

disagreed

who asked you to do something you dont have fun in to get into mit

if you think mit is the right place for you you probably are into cs or math

[sharp pier]

i meant when you actually get in, the workload is intense

saying you spent hs stratigizing and doing things just for the sake of getting into mit

ofc you can incorporate fun

[hasty crane]

if you find cs or math interesting then you probably have spent a considerable amount of it, that's the deciding factor-how much time have you spent on doing something you really love?

[sharp pier]

maybe these things align with what you think of as fun

[remote vessel]

oh my fucking god

[hasty crane]

i know someone who got into mit who applied 2 days after they decidied they were gonna apply

they got rejected from 20 colleges but were accepted to mit (the one they applied to last moment for fun)

[topaz dirge]

crazy lmao

[hasty crane]

fr

[sharp pier]

agree. I think my point is more about the competitive nature of so-claimed "this EC is what mit look for" like international comps and stuff

you can spend alot of time on activities that are not competitive or have ranking

[sharp pier]

woah

[hasty crane]

rejected from 9/10 mb

they got in with a 1500 sat 💀

you never know what to expect man, just be chill

[sharp pier]

and they say their essay weren't that good

[hasty crane]

he's the literal definition of applying sideways

[sharp pier]

good for him but omg thats really impressive

idk if this should give me more hope or not

[hasty crane]

it should

if you showed your passion, growth and other important stuff

[ionic spindle]

I know someone who got into MIT with a 1350

[hasty crane]

with good grades ofc

[sharp pier]

im already optimistic but mostly content with whatever i get

[hasty crane]

there was someone who got into mit with an 800 but they had an olympic medal iirc

[sharp pier]

my sat is very close to his

1520

[ionic spindle]

That isn't a true story

100% of acceptances are 700+ math

[hasty crane]

mine's 1500, i did not really bother much after the fisrt attempt

[sharp pier]

math 780
i feel since im an international my high english test score may compentsate for the 740 in RW

[hasty crane]

the problem isn't english there, it's the 780

[ionic spindle]

If your over 750 math you will be fine

it will not be a reason to disqualify you

[hasty crane]

no what 💀

[ionic spindle]

Literally has been said on the admission blog 20+ times

[hasty crane]

790 is the 25th % at mit

[solid comet]

the reason <800 math MIT get rejected isnt the cozz of sat

[ionic spindle]

Correlation != Causation

[solid comet]

its just most of people who get acceppted also have 800 math SAT

[ionic spindle]

And 25% is significant

[solid comet]

^

[hasty crane]

i mean yes but

[sharp pier]

ik but im hoping its mostly compared to others from my country because no one gets that high

if compared to other countries yeah thats their lower end

[hasty crane]

you probably have other stuff to have shown

[solid comet]

theres no way you would be rejected for a 780 if you have everything else MIT-esque

[hasty crane]

yeah it's compared mostly to your country

[solid comet]

ive 1550 and im 98%ile for my country so 👍

[ionic spindle]

They really are not going to care about SAT past 750 math

that is truly the only thing they look for

[sharp pier]

staying positive

[deep aurora]

where are u from

[ionic spindle]

as far as SAT goes

[solid comet]

india LOL

[sharp pier]

im a 99th in mine

[solid comet]

basically born in hard mode for MIT

[hasty crane]

i have a friend at mit whose roommmate is a jamaican debate team member with not many ecs i think
he may have gotten it through diversity but it's still impressive nevertheless

[sharp pier]

how much does diversity play a role now

[hasty crane]

a small part

[sharp pier]

what

[hasty crane]

✋

[sharp pier]

did the chat lag?

[hasty crane]

nah i think your message was classified as nsfw or smth

[hasty crane]

what kind of ecs do you have, if you're comfortable sharing

[sharp pier]

why is that nsfw lol

[solid comet]

aa talk isnt allowed on a2c

[sharp pier]

ohhh okk

i'll delete

[topaz dirge]

AA is very touchy lol

[solid comet]

yee

[solid comet]

nothing too spectacular

[hasty crane]

but to answer your question, colleges probably still have biases, i cant be the one to confirm ofc

[solid comet]

no international oly either

[hasty crane]

any field tho

[solid comet]

oh hyperfocused cs

lol

[hasty crane]

ooo, major projects?

[solid comet]

been doing everything related to cs since uhh 8?

[hasty crane]

or just applied sideways

[topaz dirge]

tbh I never heard abt international olympiads or anything until this year 💀

[hasty crane]

goddamn

[solid comet]

well i didnt know i was gonna apply to MIT till this year

i didnt even know i was gonna apply abroad

[hasty crane]

SAME HAHA

[solid comet]

prepping for JEE

[hasty crane]

SAME

[solid comet]

not,,, lately coz im anxious as fuck

[hasty crane]

SAME

[solid comet]

omg u sound like a record

[solid comet]

not rlly

nothing like super big

[quick hawk]

no chance mes

[solid comet]

who knows

ask MIT

in 24 hours

[median grotto]

that's not a chance me?

[solid comet]

u asked no chance

[median grotto]

I never asked for a chance?

[quick hawk]

"Is... EC... demographic... able to get into MIT EA"

that is a chance me

[median grotto]

A chance me is "what are the chances for [.]" .

[heavy horizon]

!mit

[ember violet]

MIT EA Date

MIT EA decisions come out <t:1702746960:F> in your local time
22 hours, 52 minutes and 33 seconds until the decision date

ApplyingToCollege

[solid comet]

no one can answer that question except the comittee whos reviewing ur app

[hasty crane]

even a yes or no are chance me 💀

[median grotto]

and anyone who is at MIT and knows someone who satisfies that.

[solid comet]

no point in chance me 24 hours bfr the results anyw

nope

[hasty crane]

fr

[solid comet]

even they cant

you might be the first who get in w ur stats

[median grotto]

If they know someone who satisfies that then the answer is obviously yes.

[solid comet]

keep the head up

[median grotto]

😭 rare.

[solid comet]

the world is full of rare coincidences

[median grotto]

Fine, true.

😭

[sharp pier]

who are you guys telling 1st about ur results

[solid comet]

my girlfie

[median grotto]

Depends on the result.

[sharp pier]

i've decided regardless of what it is i'll tell my school i got deferred

[hasty crane]

mit cares about a diverse student body, if they have 5 spots and 1 is filled with a dude with a million dollar business, they would try to pick a different kind of student for the other 4 spots

[solid comet]

LOL

[hasty crane]

so just wait for yuor result

[ionic spindle]

The writers of my LORs and this discord

[topaz dirge]

[hasty crane]

stanford doesnt allow this

princeton, columbia

[solid comet]

check for internationals

different rules for internationals

[sharp pier]

at mit too?

[hasty crane]

the process is same regardless

at mit and harvard

theyre need blind

[pale plaza]

For international apparently

for IIT

[pale plaza]

130,000?

[hasty crane]

1.3 million

[solid comet]

[solid comet]

maybe IIITs

[pale plaza]

Can’t be that hard

[solid comet]

[pale plaza]

I’d much rather study for a test than write essays

[solid comet]

hell naw

if i wasnt international and needing aid

i wouldnt have been studying for IIT

[pale plaza]

Is iit nice

[solid comet]

the holistic approach i like much more

well theyre the best colleges in india

[pale plaza]

[solid comet]

IIT isnt one tho

[pale plaza]

Is mit better than all

Ok bet

[exotic briar]

[pale plaza]

That aint an ec

[solid comet]

IIT bombay

[solid comet]

award

[exotic briar]

in my defense, this is also not an ec

[solid comet]

damn no trying for lower ones as a safe bet?

how good are ur ecs for that confidence omg

[pale plaza]

It’s considered an ec

[exotic briar]

[pale plaza]

Cuz isef itself is more of an activity

[exotic briar]

The EC is doing independent research or research at a program/college
The award is getting grand prize no?

[hasty crane]

nah

[pale plaza]

Yeah but the award is like

[pale plaza]

Petey is an avid discord user he knows about music bots and shit

[solid comet]

not surprised tbh MIT seems to be quirky like that

[exotic briar]

I feel like having an app like that complements a good MIT application not necessarily the centerpiece?

[pale plaza]

Prolly won’t look tooo good in his eyes if u didn’t word it perfectly

[hasty crane]

i have internships though so im not just relying on that

[hasty crane]

yeah

[solid comet]

ive niche bots that ive written abt in my slideroom

nothing that big

[hasty crane]

i made a huge documentation about how my app works

along with documentations on my ai models and games i made

and a maker video

[solid comet]

damnn

[hasty crane]

if i dont get in at this point imma be sad

[solid comet]

what were ur interns at

[exotic briar]

I just explained the two contest math apps that I made with O(100) users
And a discord bot I made for the MOP server

[pale plaza]

Maker portfolio?

[solid comet]

yee

[hasty crane]

can't disclose that but tech companies

small-medium

[solid comet]

fair fair

paid?

[hasty crane]

[pale plaza]

@exotic briar You got in 😂😂😂

[pale plaza]

On hood

I hope u get in but don’t get torn over it

[hasty crane]

myes

[solid comet]

i didnt have a counselor sad

[hasty crane]

oh and for my "app" the number wasn't the only part, it was more about being one of the youngest

they like the youngest parts more than the numbers

[pale plaza]

Idk if discord bots work

The poke bot guy

Applied

He has like 80m

And got rejected first round lol

His app was really good

[solid comet]

i dont think they dont not work persay

[hasty crane]

[pale plaza]

The Pokémon one

[solid comet]

no it wasnt the most popular

[pale plaza]

It was

[solid comet]

it was the most popular clone of pokecord

[exotic briar]

ok but all of the moppers are stressing so hard rn 💀
all the seniors applied to MIT with no exceptions

[solid comet]

it was the most popular after pokecord got taken down

the ogg

[hasty crane]

oliver?

[pale plaza]

How many of yall r there

How long have u been grinding math

[solid comet]

honestly his post was so sad to read

there has to be some other reason why he got rejjected

[exotic briar]

yeah 😔

[solid comet]

he was like a perfect condidate

[hasty crane]

whooo

[solid comet]

idr the name

[drowsy ether]

essays

[solid comet]

it was the dev of pokecord clone

yea essays could be one

[drowsy ether]

think abt it once u get to committee no one is gonna discuss ECs or stats its just personality

[solid comet]

maybe he wrote smthng controversial LOL

[drowsy ether]

and they wanna make sure u are a good fit and good person before admitting u

[pale plaza]

Maybe his essay was about his violent treatment of minorities

[exotic briar]

~15 who attended this year, another 15 from last year?
Also a bunch of 11th graders are applying early

[pale plaza]

Yeah u all got in

30 ain’t that bad

Esp u

[solid comet]

i dont think MIT will accept ALL from camp

[pale plaza]

No offense but I can tell by the way u type ur a sweat

[hasty crane]

according to that, if i got into the committee im getting in. im sure

[pale plaza]

You’re getting in

[solid comet]

seems not diverse enough for MIT

[hasty crane]

my essays were top notch

[pale plaza]

I bet $10 that @exotic briar gets in

[hasty crane]

but my ecs are lacking

[drowsy ether]

for the most part yeah unless that person won some crazy award(s)

[exotic briar]

All - epsilon usually

[hasty crane]

goddamn

you have a 50% chance man im sure

flip a coin

i bet 5$

if it lands heads you're in

[solid comet]

ion ahve 5$ to bet so i bet my old sock

[drowsy ether]

[pale plaza]

Xooks

[pale plaza]

It’s 1 am I’m good

https://www.reddit.com/r/collegeresults/comments/u8fvme/asian_male_gets_saved_by_berkeley_eecs_still_cant/

this dude

crazzy crazy dude

[spiral tiger]

this was insane

i dont undersatnd

[solid comet]

it was poketwo @pale plaza

[pale plaza]

@exotic briar If we both get in can u please tutor me in math I need to learn linear algebra 🙏🙏 I will pay for food

[solid comet]

the first copy of pokecord

[exotic briar]

Hmm I feel like CMU is a distant second tho

[solid comet]

not pokecord itself

he developed contest dojo 👍

[pale plaza]

@exotic briar I’m not joking

[spiral tiger]

https://linear.axler.net/

learn from this textbook

[pale plaza]

Reading textbooks is too much work I want him to teach me

[hasty crane]

yeah we aint getting in @solid comet

[solid comet]

literally a dream student

unless his personality was shite

i dont see anhy reason he shouldnt have been accepted

[exotic briar]

aime,usapho qual,usaco gold is kinda mid tho

(not taking away from his ecs)

[solid comet]

yea if thatt mid i got nothing 💀 😭

[exotic briar]

Usaco gold because he got plat only after he submitted all his apps

[hasty crane]

he probably applied for aid 💀

[solid comet]

no

all schools he applied to need blind for domestics

doesnt make a difference

also his income bracket 200k+ so

[hasty crane]

i knew it was him

[spiral tiger]

do you feel like a usapho medal does anything

[solid comet]

why would he

[pale plaza]

@exotic briar I’m codeforces IM is that respectable

[spiral tiger]

now i feel like i should've tried harder o nthe usapho

poketwo is insane

[exotic briar]

orz but IDK how much schools know about CF

[spiral tiger]

i dont think you understand

[solid comet]

have u seen poketwo in action?

[spiral tiger]

3.6 million registered users

[pale plaza]

I explained it all

[spiral tiger]

contestdojo is insane too

[pale plaza]

Yeah but ultimately he had the most cliche personality lol

[spiral tiger]

i think he just fucked up somewhere

[pale plaza]

He would for sure be a good fit but the AOs didn’t like him

[spiral tiger]

he's not unimpressive by any means

[solid comet]

its prolly his personality not giving the win

[hasty crane]

yeah pretty sure

[shrewd basalt]

LOL fire

[solid comet]

he only seems to have one LOR

[hasty crane]

his ecs and grades are top class

the committee probably told his personality sucked

[exotic briar]

3.94 is not top of the class 💀

[solid comet]

3.6 million users bro

[hasty crane]

[shrewd basalt]

Honestly w that SAT you’re cooked unless you go TO+are low SES

[exotic briar]

I mean it's clearly a lot better right

[hasty crane]

he applied as an international student so

makes sense

lmao

[shrewd basalt]

I mean maybe if you have an 800M it’s fine

[exotic briar]

[spiral tiger]

idk lol

i feel like medals are free

besides gold

and silver

like bronze was so easy to get for usapho

all you had to do was solve like 2 problems

[exotic briar]

and squareman and ct17 didn't 💀

[shrewd basalt]

Oh yeah MIT isn’t TO anymore huh

Yeah retake that

[spiral tiger]

squareman didn't try

he was actually trolling during the test

idk about ct17

[exotic briar]

☠️

[solid comet]

wait what

[pale plaza]

If ur not MOP personality hella important ig

[hasty crane]

ah i think i found the mistake in his maker portfolio

he spoke only about a chatbot the whole time

[pale plaza]

That’s good tho my shit had hella personality

[shrewd basalt]

“Personality” is a proxy

It’s fake

[solid comet]

how important are LORs for mit

[exotic briar]

When Rohan "I won't get HM" Das got Silver bc he didn't realize the difference between PhO and MO partials

[hasty crane]

very very important

[shrewd basalt]

People that get in don’t have better personalities

[hasty crane]

very.

[pale plaza]

Lors prolly 49% of personality

[hasty crane]

yeah

[shrewd basalt]

I would go as far as to say that they’re mostly NPCs

LORs isn’t personality

[hasty crane]

my teachers told me they wrote top class lors

[shrewd basalt]

It’s other people’s views of you

[hasty crane]

i bet there are grammatical mistakes tho

[solid comet]

no use thinking now tbh

we'll know in 23 hours

[spiral tiger]

LMFAO

i swear to god

PhO gives partials for everything

i remember writing "please give me points" on one of the modern physics problems

[shrewd basalt]

LORs can really only either be extremely helpful or extremely harmful

[spiral tiger]

i feel like they can also just be meh

[exotic briar]

what 💀

[spiral tiger]

lol

[solid comet]

naw imagine ur lor being like "dont admit them thank u"

[dawn prairie]

@pale plaza yo sid u do cp

[hasty crane]

and i think he didnt give preference to talk about what he wants to do in the future tbh

[shrewd basalt]

Unless your LOR was of the “generational talent” or “this kid is an ass” flavor it won’t have much impact

[hasty crane]

thats what they want to know most

[solid comet]

did u guys idoc go through

[hasty crane]

yeah

[shrewd basalt]

More or less

[hasty crane]

mine took 20 days tho

[solid comet]

no in MIT itself

in the fin aid portal

does it say recieved

[hasty crane]

what

where

[pale plaza]

Yeah

You’re ioi 21 right

[solid comet]

in thte fin aid portal in mit...?

[dawn prairie]

and 22

which country areu from

[pale plaza]

What’s idoc?

its in ur portal

[dawn prairie]

[solid comet]

is it not?

[dawn prairie]

😭

[hasty crane]

yeah i clickedthat

[exotic briar]

like MIT is more systematic in admissions right

[pale plaza]

Yea

[dawn prairie]

cause mit never takes internationals early at least from here, but harvard always takes 2-3 from my country

[shrewd basalt]

REA is generally a bad move unless you’re ultra cracked

[pale plaza]

When is this due

[pale plaza]

Fair

[hasty crane]

ah yeah it shws

[solid comet]

damn

[dawn prairie]

i thought i was but apparently harvard didnt

[solid comet]

when did u submit?

[dawn prairie]

unless IMO + IOI gold then they dont like me

[hasty crane]

[solid comet]
