Snively is wonderfully nice and intensely creative, as are all the bloggers. I remember meeting Yan like three years ago when she was a hs junior in Missouri, and seeing the awesome youtube video that Chris sent in to us with his freshman application. How the years have passed by!

I anticipate that my comments will die down for a while, lidusha, as we move into the reading season. There were a great deal of questions here regarding new changes to our application, and I hope I've been able to address them. Undoubtedly, the same questions will arise as Regular Action comes into view, so I'll pop back in then.
You all have such an amazing resource in MollieB. There's a great deal I've learned from her, especially with regards to her great communication style. She's the master question-answerer, IMHO, and has been a constant, unwavering source of support for applicants.
Thanks for the warm welcome, and be sure to check out our blogs!

Hello.
Now we have another reliable source of information and support for prospective applicants. That's good. However, I'm going to be working on other applications as well so I'm probably not going to be here as often.

It would be interesting if the MIT rep would honestly address the issue of how the school's culture of admissions has changed since the unmasking and departure of Marilee Jones.

| Seconded. Those of us who try to answer questions on CC have all learned a tremendous amount from the amazing Mollie

I realize I shouldn't say this in public, but if?
I joined Facebook when it was only open to Harvard and MIT students. | |

How about this question? Why the need for so many essay questions on the application? I think there are 5. Why not just accept the common application and add maybe one supplemental essay? Also, if engineering students are required to write esoteric essays perhaps English majors should have to solve a few calculus problems on the app to make it equitable. If I'm driving on a bridge I really don't care if the engineer who designed it can discuss a problem he once encountered.........I care if he knows calculus and physics. Your application first states that you are not looking for long essays, then you ask for five.
