• Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: MIT actually puts a lot of their applicants in their regular application pool, which is nice. Just saying, not trying to make anyone else who got deferred feel unspecial. It still means we have a chance! I'm not really trying to go to MIT, or Notre Dame which I got into but, it's nice to go to college so congrats to everyone else!
  
  My only advice is to do Questbridge if you're able to! I didn't know there were nonbinding schools til almost too late but I'm really glad I was able to make it. If you make it to the finalist round, it helps sooooo much! And applications are free afterwards!

[ size=+1][ color=green][ b]Accepted[ /b][ /color][ /size]

I’m only doing this to show how useless it is to post stats to see if you have a “chance.” THERE IS NO FRIKKEN MAGIC FORMULA and if you want to go to MIT just apply! Sorry for the negative tone; College Confidential completely demoralized me a week before EA decisions came out. This is my way of sticking it to you all---- while giving some of you some hope.

As I said on the MIT blogs, I’m living proof that MIT ----DOES!---- realize you are a human being (although some people portray themselves as robots in their applications, hoping-erroneously-that this is what admission officers want)

[ b]Stats:[ /b][ list]
[ *]SAT: (Didn’t report them in my application, but they did see them because I sent the scores in with SAT IIs---- I’m a non-native English speaker; I sent in TOEFL) Superscored= 630CR 720M 610W

Ironically, after I got into MIT I improved my scores by 100 points (dec. date). What a waste of time!!!!

[ *]TOEFL: Reading=30/30 Writing=28/30 Speaking=30/30 Listening=29/30 TOTAL=117/120 (top .01+%)

[ /list][ b]Subjective[ /b][ list]
[ *]Essays: I wrote about my arrival to America and how being lonely because of the language barrier for my first years in America taught me about the importance of perseverance (I learned to speak English fluently in 6 months). I also mentioned that the “things I learned were the only things no one can ever take away from me.” This is of particular importance in my life since I have moved around about 15 times in the last 8 years (i have attended 4 high schools; and 11 different schools throughout my life, spanning CA, NV FL in the us and two different cities in Colombia). I have also sacrificed seeing my father and (100+e^(i*pi))% of my family to live in America so that I could chase the American Dream that my father urged me to pursue when I was leaving Colombia for the first time. I didn’t think it was particularly strong, just very personal and honest.

lol i recycled it from my questbridge app (from which i didn't even become a finalist, haha)

[ *]Teacher Recs:
My current calc teacher bragged about my academic accomplishments, e.g., how I lead the calc study groups, how I am his best student, how he expects me to take the BC and get a 5 (despite the fact that he only teaches AB), how my background makes these accomplishments all the more impressive, my love of learning, how I contribute to class discussions all the time, etc.

I have no idea what my English teacher’s recommendation wrote about. She told me that she had mentioned that I lead and organized Silence Day for my school’s Gay-Straight Alliance (which I founded) and how she exemplified me as the paragon of a kid just “trying to achieve his America Dream”, whatever that means. It must have been good… I lived with her at a time when I was in danger of becoming homeless and dropping out of high school my Junior year. She knows me better than my own mother.

[ *]Counselor Rec:
Good. Mostly just a recitation of my extracurriculars and my turbulent background.

[ *]Supplementary Material:

My interview went well. I made the gaffe of bringing up my interest in Nicomachean ethics and then not being able to explain what it was (lol, for the record, I didn’t expect her to quiz me so I froze, but I indeed have read Aristotle!). I made her choke up a bit talking about the obstacles I have overcome in the last 8 years. Even I had difficulty not tearing up telling my story. I expressed my love of learning by talking to her about the “cognitive orgasms” which I sometimes have (she laughed hysterically at this, which was a good indication that she understood what they are).

I also mentioned that I wanted to found a minority (mostly Hispanic in my school) academic support program in my school, which I did accomplish last year.

[ *]Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize):
URM (hispanic); first generation college student; low-income (EFC=0); first generation American (Born in Colombia, now US citizen), single-mother home, only speak Spanish at home

[ *]Location: Reno, NV
[ *]High School Type: Public
[ *]Ethnicity: Hispanic
[ *]Gender Male
[ /list][ b]Other[ /b][ list]


[ *]Extracurriculars: not very many, but I chose my them wisely. Time that can be used to help people is a terrible thing to waste in trivial things. (that is to all of you who are academic superstars: you have an obligation to society, whether you like it or not)


Minorities Achieving A’s: minority support program I founded in my school so that upperclassmen who have very strong academic records can help minority underclassmen succeed academically. It has been a remarkable success. Most of the kids we help are ECSTATIC about receiving help. More than one has said to me “this is exactly what I was looking for, I just didn’t know where to go.” Anyways, enough ranting.

Gay-Straight Alliance= President and founder; also a remarkable success

Varsity swim team/ most improved swimmer x2

Academic Olympics= team captain; 3rd place regional winners

Young democrats= co-founder VP and 12th grade president

Earth club

Student body gov= 10th grade pres; 12th grade class treasure; 9th grade leadership class

Summer program with FTE (foundation for teaching economics) at Berkeley --- recommend it to everyone!

[ *]Awards: wasn’t ever allowed to rack up too many of these because I moved around so much. They are completely meaningless though.
Ap sholar with distinction
Some stupid ones like math student of the year x5 (different schools)
Nevada all state academic team
A school award for some dumb academic recognition that everyone gets.

[ *]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:[ /list]
I hope that my “stats” give everyone a little bit of hope. I think that by now it has been established that college admin officers don’t care too much about you having a 2200 vs a 2400, nor do they care about you having 30 national awards. For me, getting in was simply a matter of proving my commitment to helping people throughout my journey (and what a crazy, perilously one it has been!). I strive to help people based on the obstacles that I have overcome myself (notice a connection between my background and choice of extracurriculars yet?). I believe that it is this spirit of selfless giving that gave me the karma that allowed MIT to accept me (for the record, I’m an agnostic).
Meh, enough ranting….

STOP READING THIS WORTHLESS S*** and go out and contribute to society! (it doesn’t matter what you do, just do something!... and enjoy it too)


i apologize in advance if i offended anyone with my didactic remarks. But really, if the collective time that everyone spent in this site to see how they could "get into XYZ college" was used for good, the world would be a much better place! (i only realized this a month ago)

good luck to all the deffered in MIT RD and the rejected in other school's RD!

• Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?: One of my best friends also got in EA. The only thing we had in common (besides straight A's) was a long-term and consistent commitment to music, though she plays piano. Someone earlier said that colleges want to see more than the purely academic. I agree. ALSO, I considered MIT my first choice, while she had it tied for first with Harvard. Maybe that came through in our essays.

On the day that decisions came out, I scheduled a haircut at 7:00 so that I would have something to do while waiting for 8:00 to come around, thinking, "At least if I don't get accepted, I'll have a cute haircut!"
