| interesting to see the 800>740 but not 800 getting people > 740 getting people
since I found everything can be solved by math...
There must be a formula for admission.
there must be a abosulutely powerful formula says one applicant are better than other.
I know MIT trys not to let this formula leak(or they don't even really agrees on it) so people have no choice but to be honest and hope MIT will accept them.
But this also makes it really difficult for people who want to get into MIT, like... what exactly is important? If someone have a 700 critical reading, should he chose to use the next 2 month study to improve it to 800, or should he work toward a AP scholar or even just do what he enjoys the most in the mean time because 700 and 800 doesn't make a difference to MIT.
People have goals, but if the path toward a goal is blurry... it's really hard to act efficiently.
Like, I personally want to just work on my hobby(math, computer science) where I'm suppose to "work on getting a better SAT" or "do all the studies and improve my GPA" instead of what I really want to do. What is important? If MIT can be a little bit more clear on that, I can actually know how to use my time. because if MIT just want what I really am, I don't care about SATs or w/e standard test, I just care about my interest and want to go to a good college to work on my interests. Because 2 goals might conflict each other, going to MIT or working with what I love(for another year...). I have to know the details so I will eventually make the right choice. Currently, it should be forget reading math and CS texts and just do SAT... or study to improve my GPA |
