eating and sleeping is fr my best ecs
true
honestly same
but you're still a sophomore so don't worry too much yet lol
You have got venomous snake handling and I have full time residential farm labor and making video game cheats
most of my ecs i put for all of my apps i started junior year or later
at least all of the good ones
junior year grindset goes hard
very
i did not grind hard enough for mit tho :(
I couldn't name more than 5 colleges in junior year
I only knew about NCSU, UNC, Duke, Harvard and Oxford lol
I didn't even know what MIT stood for
you literallly had the best academic comeback of all time
I honestly though MIT was in Michigan
YO ASS IS NOT GOING
bro I just started researching the school 2 months ago
what is bro yappin about
Michigan Institute of Technology
tbf I didn't know the difference between Michigan, Maine and Massachusetts either
until like 6 months ago
They all started with Ms and were in the north
they're all in america whats the difference
I literally found out abt mit cause my asian parents be telling me to go to Harvard but i wanted to go against them and said mit ๐
it exists
masstech
I have said this a few times in this disc, but I only know 1 thing about harvard and that is this kid I know got accepted there and turned it down for UNC
Nah free tuition
cause free tuition at unc would make sense
Honestly it really depends
some ppl just donโt like the vibe
I mean you'd be surprised how often things like this happen
When students are admitted to two schools, they can only attend one. Find out which they prefer by matching up the two colleges.
but my question is, why would you apply if you didn't like the vibe
unless something changed since you applied
idk
They were someone who had a lot of serious trauma and had a pretty solid support network in NC
ah then that makes sense
maybe unc honors college
and didn't want to leave to a place where they might be socially isolated and without a support network
everyone has their reasons, and many people are not blinded by prestige
i lowkey don't wanna apply to mit cuz ik i'll be rejected
60% of people choose NCSU over MIT lol
lmao
where is that stat from
When students are admitted to two schools, they can only attend one. Find out which they prefer by matching up the two colleges.
but I've seen other sources that state it as well
that's funny
It doesnt hurt to try
other than the application fee
That is more likely to be a cost + being able to commute to school thing
than the unc one
you never know
You don't know that
but at least you have a chance if u apply
The people with amazing stats don't get in, because they are generic
I think if you are more out there getting in might be easier than you think
you guys are right
i'm lowkey in the feels for my defer school
that's why i'm gonna take a risk with my fun form and be so silly
hey at least it's not a rejection
as long as u show ur personality ig
These top students have a tendency to sound like they have been trying to optimize their entire lives around college and that really puts AOs off
just take that to mean you are good enough
yeah lol
(This is true)
oats you got into mit?
I got in two weeks ago man through QB
Wouldn't it be so funny if Oats got deferred despite being accepted QB
massive w
that would have been so silly
a little bit of trolling from the mit aos
did you get the silver tube
bruh i want a silver tube so bad
I'm still waiting for my tube aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
slowly but surely it will come
Also happens to contain my finaid info
if i get one imma light saber battle with it
And they won't update the finaid portal until january 
i should send that...
What the fuck is an IDOC?
oh shit yeah right
I need to do CSS
and I'll prolly need to make an appeal for independent on that as well so I should get started ASAP
it's the thing you use to send your tax documents with the css form
and it takes forever
Do ya'll know what the process is for independent on CSS
i used to be such an mit simp
sorry dude idk tbh
i have no idea sorry
This feels so targeted
tbh i was too and now that i'm deferred i know that i just have to find other schools to love
I wrote about creativity, being a designer, and doodling on my MIT app 
DO AN MS PAINT SMILEY FACE
same
its depressing
true thatd be so funny
im holding out
fr
โWe have decided to retract our admissions offerโฆโ
I love chanceme because of how bad it is lmao
it's just a place where people make up hypothetical application stats to make themselves feel good
"essays 10/10" PROVE IT
There are schools just as good as MIT and much less competitive, but you must get started on your apps yesterday
u applied course 11 right
i'm really hoping i get into somewhere in january so i can fall in love with that school, and then by the time i get my mit decision i'll be chillin
Nah Course 1
draw a poorly drawn beaver
I like planning but I'd rather study planning for masters
Scribble a beaver next to MID
with like a smiley face
It's hard to get into the planning field with just a bachelors
And Course 1 leads well into Planning anyway soooo
whats the diff between 11 and 1
"MIT" but the I is a penis

they both sound the same
@modern lava we need to make a plan for a portable snowball launcher to troll @fierce gust with 
someone made wide tim, now make narrow tim
Course 1 is Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering
Course 11 is Urban Planning lmao
how do you applying to squidward community college
imma be real they both sound like the same thing
Does any one of us have experience with mechanical engineering ๐
1 is the better choice tbf
it has a 0.5% acceptance rate it's not worth trying
also I have a strange urge to switch from 6 to 11 after going hiking and seeing how all of LA is a cartesian coordinate plane
must submit clarinet portfolio
I have a bit
uh oh
1 leaves way more options than 11 and it isn't like your not going to be able to go into urban planning with a cee degree
But not much
Compsci + Planning?
๐

I don't like comp sci man ๐
Holy shit this seems like it was made for me
The engineering degrees really do leave a ton of options
I've considered doing CompSci + EnvSci before
Civil into Planning in particular is very natural
Is that an option I can select on my app?
Urban Science and Planning with Computer Science
I believe so
Selected
that is literally me
and I just haven't found a college that offers that before
you can write a bomb "why do you want to study this" essay
sadly mit only give 100 words for that
I dunno how but I actually cooked on that essay
I'm someone who feels greatly slighted by the human engineered world we live in and wants to change it, but also is incredibly proficient and interested in comp sci
tbh i feel like that was my weakest essay lol
bruh I wrote the most mid essay for that what ๐ญ
SAME
@ionic spindle Go cook ๐ซก
I wrote abt stealing my friends car
๐
lmao
Yeah I just did
in a non-illegal way ๐
so you just do that often or smth
Did you talk abt a2c ๐คฉ
Bro I am going to be going past cooking, past baking, bro I'ma be cheffing this shit
i mean this isn't awful tbh
I wrote my field of study thing on counting on my fingers ๐
You have a recent spike to show dedication
๐ฏ
what decision dates do to an mf
I liked caltechs better
@royal badger can you do mine
damn thats a lot
I am surprised my spotify is so little
I wrote mine on my background and how it connected to my major choice
I keep spotify blasting all day
idk how yall do so many background essays tf
I got a receiver and speakers in the back of my truck plugged into the tool outlet and I just blast music, while working
that goes hard
I was convinced junior year I was the way I was cuz of where I grew up and then this year I realized I would probably do the same shit regardless of wherever so idek atp
I've seen shit bro
@modern lava know if thereโs a mit discord?
I do know Masstech is making a Discord for the Class of 2028
no they're wating for me to be accepted
I think given what I've been through in life I am very much unshapen by it
(Check your portal)
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut
It's not open yet
It'll open in like, march lol
yeah i was gonna say i canโt wait till march ๐ญ
I feel like I moved too much to have a background
i hate deffer
like most the ppl ik I havent known for longer than 3 years
that sounds like a background to me
deffer bad
Carnegie University of Mellons (CU-
who else is procrastinating RD apps rn !!!
i got deferred because Oats told them to defer me
me ong
I need to go to sleep
okay bye
An official one?
oats your opps fr
litweally me

there we go
you'rew elcome
lmfao
timezones dont exist tho
Time is a scam
true
we just made it up
true
being deferred is bad time
time is a ploy from big clock to sell more clocks
What r my stats like in discord
considering you just joined probably low
damn wtf this is crazy
Ya'll if you don't have to preheat your glowplugs to start your car it isn't a real car
if you drive at all
camry 2005
F350 Diesel Manual
car my parents bought from a crack dealer in new jersey
i drive a 2004 civic
when we first moved to US
avg indian car backstory
Imagine not being diesel gang
diesel is so expensive
It is free for me
how
its worth it tho
you can run soo fast in diesel
Work + Biodiesel (from Waste Vegetable Oil)
I ran a half marathon in 1:35:24 on diesel
wow
never pay for gas
but you have to use ether, jump start, preheat glow plugs for 10s then crank it to start my car
i barely started
im feeling the pressure
6
I haven't done any apps yet
colleges
I needed to get a 1600 SAT first
so that took studying
no 1610 is needed for ivy
also procrastinating from ap lit
i have this unending procrastination cycle i need to fix
I will stop procrastinating first thing tomorrow
well after I fix my windshield
I need to fix my windshield
minimun
luckily I am not applying to any ivys, because I don't like them
i know a ton of people that just grinded out all their essays in summer and EA'd everywhere possible
so now they get to play fortnite all day or whatever idk
whats an ivy
a group of community colleges
like poison ivy?
a lot of the ivys used to literally have slaves on campus to server their students
and that isn't chill
its these 8 community colleges
on the east coast
theyre p mid ngl people just go there cuz the tuition is free
I applied to labs over summer ๐ญ my college app timing was so bad
oh fr
yea
its free college and theyre like kinda selective now
so a ton of people apply
MIT is yield protecting me fr
"Harvard College ascertained that enslaved laborers lived on campus, making the beds and meals of students, professors, and school presidents. Princeton University noted a slave auction was held on its campus in 1766."
i mean like yea
its kind of expected
for a gathering of rich white men
in the 1700s
in america
totally not chill
rescind your apps ya'll
Except to cornell they are innocent
that is actually not why I am avoiding the ivies I just don't think they are what they are made out to be
@grave token i am so sorry for the cold ping, but can I dm you regarding an issue that happened with one of my early action application?? i will only take a few minutes off your time.
He was literally here yesterday ๐
I recommend emailing MIT admissions
not active, but apparantly he shows up on decision days
^
yea i think thats kind of sadistic
its like these kids legit have no shot at all but ur deferring them and just slightly messing with them
thats how i see it. idk
yeah i think so too
even though i got rejected from stanford rea like at least i'm thankful that they're conservative on defers
not giving me false hope for 4 months
same im so glad penn is conservative with defers.
harvard and princeton suck for what they do.
like lets be real harvard and mit yall not gonna admit the bottom 75% of the early pool so just reject them all man
i get that they want to like have a wide net of people but like they can still do that by like deferring like 10-20% max
Itโs for their brand
its probably to make it seem less cutthroat than it is at a glance
so they coerce more people into applying
and especially applying EA
They get to maintain the double image of being super exclusive while making everyone think โI almost got inโ
No one is going to remember that all of their friends got deferred
its like hey at lesat i got my foot in the door
Theyโll just remember years from now that MIT gave them a โsecond chanceโ
idk
like while i'm mad stanford didnt take me i thank them for rejecting me
also having a high deferral rate is just ognna incentivize people
instead of defer
to apply EA more
Yeah I was rejected REA
cuz its like yea ill probably just get deferred to rd anyways so it doesnt matter
To furd
yeah all this is why i said ask petey wanted to see what he woudl say
Like every other fucking Berkeley student
rejected rea stanford?
Well heโs a company man
Heโs going to give the PR response
haha lol hopefully i don't become the stereotypical kid who didn't get into stanford but is at berkeley doing eecs
u say that
like berkeleys eecs program
isnt like top 5 in the us minimum
...
like oh no bro you got into berkeley
boo hoo
well it's like a stereotype though... at least in my area. not saying berkeley eecs isn't insanely hard to get into
ok yea maybe that was a dumb thing to say
You very well might be
Not an awful thing
nah i probably aint getting into berkeley eecs
I mean I donโt like it here but some do
Berkeley EECS is luck
If youโre qualified itโs luck
i mean like yea t5 is all a coinflip no matter who you are
obviously you have to get to that threshold
of being interesting and qualified
I know USAMO people that didnโt get in while some of my fellow students canโt factor quadratics
but after that like yea it is luck
maybe except for mit though. like if you're a female usajmo/usamo or a male MOPPER you probably most likely are getting into MIT
ok those people are a very miniscule group of exceptions
Itโs funny that only MIT had the balls to require SAT again after quality of students dropped
i think test blind is kinda goofy imo
like test optional fine maybe you hate the sat
sure test optional
but like
why blind bro
i studied so hard for this shit at least see my score
at least mit is somewhat meritocratic (same with caltech). like harvard stanford yale princeton and stuff man their admissions are dirty af
๐ฟ
this is what caltech had to say abt it
Caltech first waived the testing requirement in June 2020 amid the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. An internal analysis by Caltech faculty found that standardized test scores had little to no power in predicting student performance in certain first-year classes.
I do not think that HYPS admissions are that much more dirty than MIT
well... theyre sports schools. athletes will get a pipeline into the school.
theyre also businesses, businesses need to make money. so very obviously they will let donor kids in.
they need to have good public images. so obviously they will accept URM's more
A student that can provide millions to the school by simply existing is a benefit to everyone else attending
well mit doesn't do legacy, so that's huge. and mit doesn't do AA as much
colleges r businesses brah they need to make money
Cap these students at a reasonable amount
these r just money making things
People want to go to T5s for connections because thatโs all undergrad is good for
dont forget the inflated ego and shameless bragging
I do not care that a number of my classmates are dumber when they basically fund my education
Being deferred does suck but at least we get a second look. Itโs also very subjective to your assigned AO, they have to fight for you in committee and maybe the next round will fight for me stronger 
not necessarily
fr. i know people with families who pledge like 10 mil if their kid gets into hyps
some fields really only need an undergrad degree to get an entry level job
atp like yea it does matter to an extent where u went
cs is coming to my mind the quickest
Man wtf kinda communities do y'all live in bruh ๐
but i think engineering jobs like yea you only need an undergrad
sillicon valley
if u went to a better school its gonna help you out more in job hunting
Yeah engineering is well known for that
I was considering studying Urban Planning or Architecture or smth
But those are basically impossible to get into without a masters
ngl im so glad cs doesnt require anything past an undergrad
i cannot go to school for that long
Do what you want in your undergrad then apply to top architecture programs for masters
Prestige doesn't really matter much for engineering either except for MIT, ahem too
I would like to go to Stanford for analytics/ML
prestige matters a lot for quant right
i wonder if there's any bias here
Tbh I'm more interested in planning than architecture
Weโll see what happens
Yeah
lmfao one of the kids at berk eecs is widely known in the hs competitive programming scene as being a pedo
its funny asf
Quant ๐
But you also have to be very sharp
people in the USACO discord just drop his name for fun
I know him, he graduated this spring
oh ethan guo is grad?
Yeah
did people hate him that much lmao
A lot of people hate him a lot and the rest just donโt care
lolz
Bc the allegations arenโt very effective
Nah seriously though I looked at postgrad outcomes for engineering in particular and most schools were around the same range but MIT was just out there
As theyโre mostly lies lol
i believe it
just funny though
did this guy, a usaco camper, not get mit?
U.S. News and World Report ๐คฎ
ut a honors college, berk, etc etc
QS World Rankings ๐
At least in CS MIT is where you go if you want to do quant/heavy-hitting CS research
i dont think many go to udub but oh well
No bias at all
Like between MIT and Harvard I would just choose Harvard
stanford is for the WEAK
oh ofc not
itd only be bias if mit was the top for the past xxx (large number) of years right
haha right
MIT = Harvard - Math55.
Stanford CS is like top 3, they just donโt make a point of killing their students
Tbh even if Hahvahd paid me to go there I wouldn't choose it over MIT
So that they can actually focus on things outside their classes
Same LOL.
what even r the t10 schools for cs
What ๐ญ
Harvard has math55, MIT does nor.t.
Harvard has an excellent reputation and even if you have that itch you can cross register with MIT
Seriously though Hahvahd and Masstech are radically different schools
for good reason
It's hard to compare them
Except for math55 which is Harvard only.
Cross-registering with Harvard from MIT ๐คข
Oh LOL they donโt let MIT students take it?
Cross-registering with Wellesley and MassArt ๐
No lol. Average MIT L.
They probably want to poach MIT oly kids
skull
I know students who did this then failed their courses
still though like most stanford cs people i know had a non cs high school profile, got in, then majored in cs. at mit, everyone is stem god
Imagine being the school that doesn't let cross-registered kids freely take classes ๐คข
Hahvahd moment
Because they take liberal arts/business courses with suspect grading
Ok but imagine being the school where you don't stand a chance at making ICPC team...
did anyone get in with sub1500 sat score
Yeah but success wise I would bet on Stanford students
probably someone ever
They have more diverse skill sets on average/are higher variance students
competitive programming for college kids
Plus they can make eye contact unlike MIT students
LMFAO
Competitive Programming ๐ญ
The International Collegiate Programming Contest is an algorithmic programming contest for college students. Teams of three, representing their university, work to solve the most real-world problems, fostering collaboration, creativity, innovation, and the ability to perform under pressure. Through training and competition, teams challenge each ...
Naurrrrrrr
i saw a yt video of a girl who got in with a 1490 if tha tmeans anything
I've got IMo, IPhyo wins, but SAT is shitty. 800 math 660 eng should I even apply?
AA
yeah apply
intl or no?
intl ๐
she was chinese? what are you yapping about?
My dream is getting into MIT and only taking Harvard courses!
1490 for MIT is wild lmao
nobody gaf about ur sat score if ur imo G
I mean
yucky
Actually itโs not that bad
MIT does care more about 800 math but considering the number of people here with 1934129239129 olympiads that got denied
๐ฟ
Spread couldโve been nice
ong
๐คทโโ๏ธ yup
apply if you wanna
worth a shot
cant lose if you dont try
does mit care about 800 math? cuz i have that but i only got 730 english
youre fine
ur around their 50%, so ur good
Lol imagine placing top in olys but getting MIT reg
My score when I applied was 780 math 730 english lmao
You're fine
Like that is all placing top in olys is for
im hoping my 35 math act is good enough
yoo fellow stanford rea reject
I mean they care about 800M but below isnโt the end of the world
at a certain point do you need to go to college if u place olys
Billert is here too dw
Ngl some of y'all really need to touch grass rn
mit advised it
MITer telling us to touch grass haha
the only person ik that got into REA stanf is legit him
dont feel that bad about it
lmfao valid
Itโs kind of sad but mostly true
MIT told us to touch grass on our admitted students portal
Uh your SAT score is well below the 25 percentile and you're an intl. Can't you retake?
Nah I donโt play video games
Oh well lol
I actually donโt
I really should
its december? how tf is he going to retake
Oh and yesterday
My entire steam profile is wallpaper engine
but also intl and i assume non-native english speaker

Oh. I thought they allow January.
sure but thats gonna come out probably in like feb or something
october is p much the latest u can take it
hey wait hold on
mutual servers ๐คจ
Lol W post
LOL
how can I retake ๐
ใใใใ say goodbye
i wont say a think
there are no other available sessions
thing
I donโt remember that line haha
or am i trippin
Ye
Oh RIP. With IMO / IPhO what medal are we talking about?
I like that song yeah
physics camp sounds so cool ngl
Yeah
why cant asian males with usamo get into mit now? like what do they gotta do
Touch grass
They want the math ultra hypebeasts USAMO somehow isnโt enough
imo gold, ipho bronze
have a personality
get drunk at high school parties before getting suspended
true can maybe superscore ebrw
I mean are there not any more sessions
Seriously though this is very important
man i REFUSE to believe people like this really have the balls to come into a discord server and ask if their sat is good enough
You're fucked if you don't retake.
horrible advice
If everyone is a USAMO winner then it just becomes meh
Might make it into Harvard if you go test optional.
I'm at school and bored
Make the other parts of your app strong too, seriously
literally not
idk what youre on about
well, calltech is waiting for me
his chance is great
If youโre an Asian male yeah you should try to reach MOPper level
ahhahaha
what the braindead are you guys saying this kid is an auto reject for having a 1460
800m too
I know so many oly hypebeasts at Berkeley
how come
you have got to be trolling
Caltech 
5 IMO golds ar turkey.
peep this
what year are you? cuz i could dm you a name you might know
Ignore necrophiliac over there
Caltech is such a goofy school honestly
this guy is on some next level copium because he couldnt get into mit
most cabbage brain takes ive ever heard
let him talk, it's internet anyway ๐
@rose thistle just apply
i propose we should tie everyones discord account to their social security
Seriously, this ^
LOLL
so people dont go on the internet and act braindead
thank god I have a visa
bout to put my expired ITIN
@rose thistle btw youโre autoadmit for CMU SCS
have you guys got any idea why caltech is test blind
To my knowledge they autoadmit IOI/IMO medalists
my financial situation is not good
and my government only pays for t5s
they use AIME as SAT instead
Ngl probs to jump on the trend of the UCs and CSUs dumping tests too
Ah ic
they said that they determined it isnt a good predictor of first year success
But tbh it might partially be to shed their image of being too inaccessible to kids from underresourced communities ๐
fax most people i know who got into caltech double digited or almost double digited AIME
wb this
.
'cause they really did get a lot of flack for being too inflexible with their calc requirement
Like, some schools don't even offer Calc
.
So Caltech just went ๐ฟ to those kids
.
so they dropped SAT?
thats fucking funny asf
Perhaps
Not gonna lie though I don't really like Caltech
SAT is prob the easiest req for caltech if ur fgli
tbh, we dont have that in Turkey.
At that point I'd rather go to Harvey Mudd or smth
caltech jpl gateway is cool
so there is no applicants to Caltech from my country, at all
interesting requirement
real
its cool but like
there are too many downsides for me to consider it at the top of my list
everyone ik who got into caltech from SD at least went through pomona and did the weird transfer thing from there
It's 4x smaller than my HS
that's just sad
and then all of them work at jpl now
its 4x bigger than my hs personally ๐
I dunno why anyone would give up Pomona to go to caltech tbh
Pomona and the Claremont Colleges are such a vibe
Ah, understandable
end of the day bag + career is what matters to most ppl
but still ๐
at least they have a cool turtle pond
"fuck is college gon do for me its like a get in get out situation" type ppl yknow
I hated them tbh
idk I felt like clairemont was too same-y
same feeling I got with ivys
LOL
everyone there is one person
this kid is so braindead bro
Thatโs just PR
trying to ego me too after i said his take was bad
But then less than 600 rw SAT ==> insta reject.
๐
I know plenty of dickheads at MIT
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
also not
no
just because it didnt happen doesnt mean its not possible
plus the guy has over a 600 so idk what youre on about
To be fair, some folks are better at feigning it ๐
Lmao 500-599 is absolutely abysmal
but also intl students
if u speak fucking bulgarian and english u learned at 15
no not really
Im bringing the EBRW avg down ๐ช
Oh true true
Yeah I forgot about intls
lmfao
If English is not your native language, you're meant to be AS GOOD as someone who is a native.
i aint reading allat
um
what
Y'all actually need to behave bruh
You're going to study at MIT, "I'm not native" is not an excuse.
yo neophiliatic good luck with the mit rd round is all imma say
how diverse is MIT student body, or are they all antisocial nerds who stay in all day
I heard parties are goated at mit
to a lower ebrw? yes it is
Multiply 0.5% by the intl acceptance rate now.
Nah MIT actually is pretty diverse
every message this moron says im responding to with that ss
dont do that
more clutter
just ignore the guy
doesnt deserve your attention
istg I'm actually gonna have to start clearing y'all messages at this rate bruh
SAT is a test of readiness for college.
Not being able to understand the questions proves someone is not prepared.
no its NOT
designed for high school students whos speak english as their native language
what happening
diverse as in diverse personalities not necessarilly backgrounds (although one is probably a consequence of the other)
some dude is telling a IMO gold that he has a 0% chance at mit because he has a 660 ebrw score on the sat
Well, does MIT instruct in a different language?
I feel like most Ivys everyone is p much the same person
this guy is saying that intl people should speak english as well as a native speaker and that <700 ebrw is an insta reject
Both honestly
Like obv I'm not the same as the oly kids that got in nor am I the same as the snake guy
"the snake guy" is CRAZY
i mean
rip Chris
What am I supposed to say ๐ญ

Chris IS the snake guy
yk fair point
It's probably what the AO's called him lol
Bro has 300k followers on his insta page about snakes
The snake guy
Bro has a youtube channel dedicated to snakes with millions of views
Bro gets hated on reddit for being too lax with his snakes
If he's not the snake guy then who is ๐ญ
he is the snake guy, thats a dope nickname
i spelled your wrong
i lost
Seriously though, the evidence is right here in this channel
I'm a low income QB kid whose ECs mostly revolved around art; some other admits in this channel did MOP and ISEF; there's Chris the snake dude, an international from Thailand somehow with $1000000+ in stocks
lmfao thats still cool
I mean again thats like a background, not necessarily like a personality thing. Ofc its gonna shape ur personality but I feel like a lot of ppl who get into these typa colleges are all either similar to ur personality or toxic rarely smth new
did you submit a maker portfolio
Lol no
THAT REMINDS ME I HAVE TO STILL DO MY ART PORTFOLIO SHTIT
I'm probably going to submit one on my completely impractical minecraft boat freeways lol
guys essays or speedrunning my short film for mit
would mit care about music supplement or they only care about olys
they care about everything
iirc they place portfolios in 2 piles, good (1/6) or avg (5/6)
They let you submit a music supplement for a reason
submit whats important to you
They don't want a class composed of 99% Olympiad kids all with the same personalities
You do you
I think at some point, because I stopped caring about getting into a good undergrad (there's always grad school) my essays have become more authentic but that's me talking after only writing one 100-word supp
I write my best essays 10 minutes before deadlines fr
what percent of mit is oly kids
halfish
who knows
the point is that you need to be qualified (obviously) but also be unique in your own way, diverse, and be INTERESTING
A fairly significant percentage, but considering the number of oly kids who also got denied
Eh
Just vibe
and most of them were avg oly (AIME level)
there werent that many oly ONLY kids from what I heard from some friends
like outside of campers it was alyways olys for fun and then they had a main thing
Bruh
Ok y'all need to read this https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/mit_olympians_part_2/
the oly kids I know prob didnt get into mit from olys I presume, but what made them get into olys
" And of those 13 seniors, 10 are in the MIT Class of 2012."
lmao
I think yall are missing the point of the article, the idea is that u do whatever and if u can sell the "why" you did it right...
This fr
selling olys at an intl level is just easier than selling washing dishes to an extent
Like, AOs beat y'all over the head with that advice
yeah but this statistic is just a bit ironic
At some point y'all gotta get it
did u have olmypiads?
My awards list totaled one and that one award is AP Scholar
damn
i dont know how some of yall have friends at this point dawg
what do you think carried your app
being in a2c probably 
I know someone who got in EA this year that had pretty much every RSI and primes and published research stuff imaginable, but that's just one way in
If anything, my essays, but it very well could've been my ECs in addition to those
Every matters in your app
Don't skimp on anything lol
bro thinks a mit rejection will prove his point
a2c should be ur #1 activity
my lors might be doodoo and I can't tell
this kid had 30 minutes to stew on that and thats the best he could come up with LOL
same
I know someone who refused to go to IMO because he thought RSI would carry him (as it had carried his friend).
I got a LOR from minister of education /shrug
Speaking of RSI, I wonder how that one RSI kid I know of fared in the app season
embed fail
One of Elon Musk's sons ๐
LMFAO
1/6?
Oh no was their name normal
instant reject
I have no idea, I just heard about it from a friend
I just realized how interesting being elons kid would be
you dont need school bro
its like nick cannon but ur dad has no PR training
Who somehow ended up talking with him over a facetime call, 'cause he ended up at homecoming or whatever? I never got the full story ๐ญ
holy shit no way u said that
Shit's wild
just use your daddy's money at that point
What?
Apparently dude hates his dad
makes sense
At the same time, apparently the dude is actually really nice and passionate about what he does
Ngl I wish nothing but the best for him
elon or his son
The son
not surprising tbh
Elon is probably gonna end up screwing himself over at this rate ngl ๐
only 10 intnl males were accepted?
I like MIT's silly little pranks
According to OTIS discord, yes.
what's otis discord?
Time to steal Caltech's cannon a second time ๐ช

Evan Chen runs a math olympiad preparation thing and I'm in it.

Reply button moment
I always want to see the people online

i am so lost

never should've come here
left inorganic chem to glance at this
no its regarding the mail LMAO
Little late but holy shit I got in ๐ - just discovered this server and discord but as I read thru all the research and Olympiads yโall are doing Iโm feeling super scared cuz I didnโt
Anybody else get in and not do insane research or stuff?
Feeling the imposter syndrome hitting already which is a little scary
omg congrats!!
He actually addressed this lol
โThisโ is the number of deferrals
Somebody drop their fkn stats already
Congrats brooo
At the end of the day you donโt need insane stuff

I wrote mine about working in retail
in my FTC competition my robot arm was hella flimsy, but I would a way to make it straight by powering it in the opposite direction of gravity and calibrating it 1 hours before the official matches

Can someone help me choose what ECs to put in for my application?
