<p>I’ve been wondering about how to parse your name.</p>
<p>My first inclination was to parse it as:</p>
<p>mollie-bat-mit (literally, “Mollie, daughter of MIT” in Hebrew.)</p>
<p>Then I thought it might be parsed as:</p>
<p>Mollie B. at MIT.</p>
<p>So…is it the first, the second, both, or none of the above?</p>
<p>By the way, I think you are a delightful contributor to these forums! And your admissions blog is great too. You are a terrific credit to MIT, so -bat-MIT is an entirely fitting way to parse your name!</p>
<p>I’m not Mollie, but I’m pretty sure that Mollie B. at MIT is correct. She once posted that she is a cheerleader at MIT, and sure enough there is a member of the MIT cheer squad whose first name and second initial are Mollie B.</p>
<p>Haha, sorry I didn’t get back to this thread sooner! I’m home for Christmas and have less access to the internet than I usually do at school…</p>
<p>Coureur is correct – it’s Mollie B. at MIT. That’s actually my email address, too.</p>
<p>…although people have been known to call me “molliebat” due to a (purposefully) incorrect parsing of my username (which I use for other websites as well).</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the compliments! I’m really glad I was able to get involved with the admissions blogs – I’ve met so many wonderful prospective students. I also really appreciate the opportunity to introduce other people to this crazy school I love so much.</p>
