| do research this summer that is very important-my other ecs and scores were very similar to yours-i think its research that got me in. i would say don't listen to app2008- you just have to make yourself not stereotypical. it is true that a lot of usamo people and stuff got rejected, but in favor of people with perhaps less impressive but more unique accomplishments. also, write good essays that try to address the "match" talked about on mit admissions website, not just some bs that will make u seem even more stereotypical. |
