there is no formula... to an extent...
because there are too much variables... the formula are too complex to be considered as a formula
"Trying to define admissions with a formula is like trying to define life with a formula."
from Ben's blog
well... in my idea, life is already determined... because if one knows all the stat of all particles at one instant, one can calculate what is going to happen next, life is mechanical. No matter what we do, it's already determined by the past.
but that's off topic...
would MIT look at SAT writing section or ACT writing section?
college board says MIT don't care about those for admission...
if MIT don't care, why ask people to do these sections?
and if they really don't care, I might just get a 200 on the SAT writing section.
