Yeah but I feel like there’s only so many unique topics people talk about in essays

south hawk
#

you could have insanely good essays but i dont think theyll admit you unless you have that mit spark in you

stuck jolt
#

yeah

south hawk
#

i dont think it has so much to do with picking a cliche topic but just beign honest

stuck jolt
#

i think rec carries that also so a certain extent that spark

gray echo
#

even if I don’t get in at least I can say that i’ve baked a pie now lol

south hawk
#

ive read my friends essays who got in last year

gray echo
#

Or, I’m about to bake it

#

happy early pi day

south hawk
#

happy pi day haha

stuck jolt
south hawk
#

his essays are honestly nothing wow

#

he just spoke from the heart about his experiences and why it led him to wanting to pursue biomed engineering

#

theyre pretty boring otherwise

#

and he spoke about his pets and how he loved playing piano

#

its really about who you are

wet light
stuck jolt
#

my interviewer and i bonded on how his year group put the iconic police car on the dome (hes a graduate student wasnt part of the group that did it) but it was lowkey crazy

#

i think i learnt so much from that

south hawk
#

he really didnty have anything else outside of that and well obviously exceptional grades

covert ridge
storm onyx

storm onyx
covert ridge

storm onyx

bro was double set

covert ridge
covert ridge
#

30 freaking k

storm onyx
#

Oh right 😭

#

yeah i've heard some crazy stories about the finaid dept already

covert ridge
#

unacceptable

storm onyx
#

anecdotally i've heard mit aid is far better

covert ridge
#

they produce industry slaves that's why nobody donates to CMU

covert ridge
#

i mean i still have to pay like 10k~

storm onyx
#

funniest thing is caltech can afford to just not charge tuition

covert ridge
#

still good tho

storm onyx
#

it's such a small fraction of the money they get

covert ridge
#

real

storm onyx
covert ridge
#

mhm

storm onyx
#

10k for mit sounds like a deal

storm onyx
#

just as andrew carnagie intended

covert ridge
storm onyx
#

Also caltech portal is the most depressing thing ever

covert ridge
#

OMG

#

IT SUCKS SO MUCH

storm onyx
#

once you check ur status, ur portal just changes to "you got rejected"

#

like what

covert ridge
#

THERES SO MANY HIDDEN LINKS TOO

storm onyx
#

also it was like painful to put in my maker portfolio

#

mit maker portfolio was so much simpler

covert ridge
#

i had to go to 3 diff unrelated links to submit my potfolio

#

jesus christ

storm onyx
#

yeah it's annoying asf

#

it won't let me go back to see anything

#

Sleeping is like time skipping

#

So it’s even faster than staying up

stable kestrel
#

I can't sleep even without one lol

strange rampart
#

That’s not healthy

stable kestrel
#

I know, tried to fix it but just ends up the same way

strange rampart
#

And the eventually my brain would autopilot the dream and I’d fall asleep

stable kestrel
#

I can rarely remember dreams even after just waking up

#

I don't think I get REM sleep like at all

#

(unless I'm wrong and you dream in some other section)

strange rampart
#

You don’t have to remember them perfectly like for me I’d wake up at 3am and I’d just bs from what I did remember

#

And then my brain would start dreaming of that abstract stuff that brains do during dreams and I’d be back asleep

round trellis
#

i wouldnt sweat it too much

tame coral
#

these guys don’t have my personal statement

round trellis
#

if u get in u get in if u dont its okay

tame coral
#

also wrote slop on #5

round trellis
#

also the MIT % rate isnt rlly 3% if ur domestic

#

i think for domestic its closer to 5%

#

cuz around 7k apps are international

tame coral
#

mit fun fact

#

the female acceptance rate is double that of the male acceptance rate

round trellis
#

yea for RD too

#

u have half the amnt of women applying tho

#

like male international at mit rd is 1.4%

#

male domestic is abt 4%

tame coral
round trellis
#

i think another thing is

#

its more of a stem school

#

u have more guys applying

#

but also more male applicants who arent as qualified

tame coral
#

one of my friends applied to mit with several Cs last year and got rejected ea

round trellis
#

i personally know like 10 ppl from my school at least who dont meet gpa requrinemnts

#

all guys

#

i think avg female applicant underestimates their chances as well (which i saw on some reddit post)

#

more male applicants are cocky as well

tame coral
#

correct

round trellis
#

but again

#

even that 4%

#

is not reflective

#

im assuming an olympaid like usamo/usajmo

tame coral
#

this school is super random

round trellis
#

prob has a 20-25% chance

#

but sm1 with nth crazy may have a 1%

tame coral
#

you can get rejected with olys unless it’s imo gold

round trellis
#

yea obv

#

u cant solely rely

#

but im assuming a lot of those kids have other stuff to

inland seal
#

agh pi day

#

s;alfdjk;asldkj

tame coral
#

derived my essays from applying sideways which is a good start I guess

round trellis
#

if theyre like 100 usamo and 100 jmo kids applying

#

they dont even take all

tame coral
#

also i applied humanities 🥀

inland seal
#

am i cooked if i didnt get an interview

round trellis
#

but i heard like 80% of ppl with usamo get in to MIT apparently

#

not sure if its true

round trellis
#

every1 in my school got on p quick regardless of stats tho

inland seal
#

hmm

inland seal
round trellis
#

what major?

inland seal
#

Poli Sci

#

Wbu

round trellis
#

i think itll be as competitive if not harder

inland seal
#

Yeahh it could be

round trellis
#

because the avg person doing polisci

#

prob has p cracked things

#

like every1 ive seen who made mit had smth rlly crazy

#

either some oly or youngarts

inland seal
#

yup

#

do you guys have stem stuff asw?

#

liek a mix of both

round trellis
#

yea

#

bruh im p sure

#

50% of usamo kids make mit

#

its def a lot

inland seal
#

yeah ofc

round trellis
#

cuz u gotta factor

#

most are prob top of their class or like val or smth

#

i see ppl say that its useless but math oyls r prob the most prestigous of the bunch

#

esp for a school like MIT

inland seal
#

yup one person got in from our school and she won something at IOL

round trellis
#

ilo?

inland seal
#

these olympiads

round trellis
#

is that lingustics

inland seal
#

yup

round trellis
#

was she on the national team

inland seal
#

yeah

round trellis
#

damn

#

yea honestly idk i feel like it also depends

#

on other stuf

inland seal
#

what do poli sci people usually have in terms of ecs?

round trellis
#

im not sure

inland seal
#

like ik they don't admit on the basis of major, but im still curous

round trellis
#

ik 1 person who got in for i think architecture or smth

inland seal
round trellis
#

they had youngarts i p sure

#

like 3 years ago

inland seal
#

crazy

round trellis
#

yo idk i think mit is just that 1 school

inland seal
#

what did you apply for

round trellis
#

biop

inland seal
#

ooh nice

round trellis
#

mit is that one school u cant bs ur app tho

tame coral
#

my major had two undergrads in it 💀

round trellis
#

idt that matters

#

that info is how many ppl end up graduating

#

with that major

round trellis
tame coral
#

comparative media studies

round trellis
#

but im assuming smth like nathropolgoy is p crazy theyd prob take 3-4 kids

#

r u youngarts?

tame coral
#

ecs actually fit better than cs based on the coursework

tame coral
round trellis
#

damn

#

yea idk i think

#

itll be intersting

#

like either way dont sweat it tbh

tame coral
#

not too stressed out i already have cmu cs

round trellis
#

damn

#

compartive arts at mit

#

but cs at cmu?

tame coral
#

cmu I applied hci

#

their gamedev program makes you submit a portfolio and i was too embarrassed to show my slop

#

hci is in the school of computer science though and major choice is non binding

inland seal
round trellis
#

hci?

tame coral
#

human computer interaction

round trellis
#

nice

#

nice

#

but yea idk

#

mit unlike ivies

#

isnt as holisitic i heard

#

like i heard 1 year in the 2010's

#

they had like

#

20 kids who didnt have a 3.9+ or smth

#

(dont quote me i heard smth like that)

tame coral
#

there were a couple people with lower sats

round trellis
#

yea but

tame coral
#

i had a 4.0 uw when i applied

round trellis
#

i dont see anything on the CDS

tame coral
#

then got an A- in physics lmao

#

regret not taking ap bio but mit says take physics

round trellis
#

ik of a kid who was icho gold

#

he was told by some professor (not AO)

#

hes guarnteed mit before he even applied

#

also like top 20 in the world on the icho scores

tame coral
#

do you have olympiads

round trellis
#

yea but not like crazy

tame coral
#

people said the same thing about cmu and it turned out to not be true

round trellis
#

CMU isnt as known for olys as MIT

#

they are still known

#

i think a lot of ppl applied CMU SCS

#

also cmu and mit r diff schools

dawn sky
#

Having olys isn't guarantee tho, I know some cracked oly ppl that didn't get in

round trellis
#

yea obv but

#

ppl r acting like

#

u got a 10% chance if ur usamo

#

its def >50%

#

online every forum ppl r saying 80% i think that might be a bit too high

#

but there r onyl like 100ish ppl with it every year applying

tame coral
#

each chance is individual

round trellis
#

yea def

tame coral
#

if you break down the admission stats by medals maybe the oly kids have a higher admit rate

i think cmu what happened this year is a lot of ppl applied to a school where they didnt have anything else but olys to carry the weight

tame coral
#

but doesn’t mean much in terms of the actual decision making process

round trellis
#

like u cant expect to make cs with nth abt cs

dawn sky
#

If you're from the US and have silver or gold from the national olympiads, you have decent chance provided that your other stats are good. But it is much more brutal for internationals

round trellis
#

bruh any IMO is guarnteed lol

#

for domestic

dawn sky
#

I said national

round trellis
#

u gotta write some insanely shi essay

#

oh yea

dawn sky
#

IMO, ipho yeah

#

Guaranteed admission basically

round trellis
#

its too many

#

they dont even need that many

#

they rather have ppl with stories that resonate

dawn sky
#

You have to be the best of the best from your country to get in

round trellis
#

yea but ive seen ppl with imo gold international

#

get rejected

#

intl is just a diff process

dawn sky
#

Yeah true

round trellis
#

i seen someone with like nth major intl

#

get into mit

#

with just basic ecs

dawn sky
#

Also like you have to vibe with them

round trellis
#

but a rlly good story

#

i think mit focuses on ur skill + passion

#

if u dont have both they pron wont pick u

dawn sky
#

There is a certain type of Personality that they are looking for

round trellis
#

yea

#

anyone know why they deferred so many ppl in MOP this year?

gray echo
#

because I think I had a little trouble sleeping

dawn sky
#

Yo fr I have been having lucid dreams for the past 2 nights because of how much I daydream waiting for decisions

tame coral
#

psychosis

#

it’s not super deep

#

do you already have a good school locked down

dawn sky
#

Prolly yea

round trellis
dawn sky
#

Also like I heard weird stuff in the middle of the night that comes from within

dawn sky
#

I have some hopes for MIT

#

Although prolly in vain

gray echo
#

but the same isn’t true for male applicants

#

Guys what’s the lowest stats and ec’s accepted student you’ve heard of

tame coral
#

not how it works

gray echo
#

I think it’s dependent entirely on context

dawn sky

#

No one is underqualified for where they come from

dawn sky
#

Definitely

gray echo

that I know

tame coral
round trellis
tame coral
#

i am on the same math track as he is so not dead yet

round trellis
#

i think they had a reason why they had such a low gpa tho

tame coral
#

extenuating circumstances are strongly considered at all admissions offices

round trellis
#

yea im not sure what it was

#

3.2 is quite low

#

they had AMO tho

#

like i said i think a top tier oly like that will get u heavily considered

#

they obv wont admit every single one because they want a diverse student body

#

but i think its prob the best "realistic" award that sm1 can get if they can grind hard enough

#

smth like IMO qual is just not realistic cuz its only 4-6 ppl a year

What kinda CT?

i remember they gave extensions to the maker portfolios but idk about the main application

feral brook
halcyon plume
#

oh their deadline was EST anyways

#

i dont think they cared about your local timezone

feral brook
tame coral
#

the main app had a small grace period

halcyon plume
#

i had already completed my application prior but it was not satisfactory

#

so i rewrote all my essays and submitted about 2 hours before the deadline (actual deadline, est)

feral brook
#

but guys is emailing universities with substantial updates a good thing?

tame coral
#

no

#

each school has a different update process that you should follow

#

and it depends on how ‘substantial the updates are

inland seal
#

did all of u guys get interviews

tame coral
#

ex i did not report nmf or presidential scholars because my app already had nmsf and a high sat score on it

tame coral

feral brook

i registered for an F&M interview myself tho (rejected)

tame coral
#

i got mit, harvard, stanford, yale interview in that order

feral brook
tame coral

it’s always availability, unless you applied yale

inland seal
feral brook

cuz yale pre screens for interviews

halcyon plume

yeah thats why i didnt really care

inland seal

and harv

tame coral
#

i had my yale interview yesterday lmao

halcyon plume
#

i think i wouldve enjoyed an interview with an MIT alum

but at the same time it feels like i couldve messed it up

tame coral

my guy was really fun

unorthodox

it says somewhere on the site there’s no private bathrooms and then three of the rooms in this first year building have bathrooms

i think i can snag it because of accommodations

#

mit is a pretty mid community college

#

so they might yield protect tons smh

old sierra
#

and the year before that asw iirc

#

I think it's most likely because they push the stuff a few hours in advance to make sure they're able to release on time and also so that something doesn't happen that prevents them from releasing results on time

gray echo
#

only time will tell 🤷‍♀️

Why does release date have to come out on my prom day 😭
