[Non-Profit Connects Low-Income Applicants With MIT - The Tech](http://tech.mit.edu/V128/N56/admissions.html)

How does everyone feel about this? Personally, I am completely discouraged at this point. I was feeling oddly optimistic for a while because I am a pretty unique applicant, but this information has completely deflated any confidence I might have had.

Not to mention that now all the mail has been processed and my transcript has not. Easily remedied, I know, but still. Discouraging.
