Subjective
  • Essays: Pretty good. I kind of sidestepped the prompt for "A Moment that Felt Like the End of the World" but I think it worked out well for me. The optional essays were killer.
  • Teacher Recs: Should be good.
  • Counselor Rec: Junk.
  • Supplementary Material: Links to films that I had produced. They're pretty good and I think they helped a lot.
  • Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): First generation college student?

  • Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: I'm happy about being deferred. I expected the worst, and now I get to head into RD with an interview under my belt as well. MIT is a tough school, and I'm proud to have gotten as far as I did. Although I would be happier posting this if I were accepted... lol
