Thanks, everyone! I requested an application in May - I'm fairly sure I'll be applying EA. Maybe. I REALLY want to get into Harvard, so I was thinking that I could compile more awards/volunteering hours, etc. if I applied RD. My school hasn't had a Harvard acceptee in something like 6 years, though, but there're a few really amazing people applying every year. So I guess awards aren't everything...
xwang90, unfortunately the RSI acceptance rate to MIT isn't 100%. Close, but not quite. As for getting in...really, honestly I did not do anything special. Don't worry about it just yet, but keep an eye out for the RSI 2007 thread in High School Life
