<p>Whatever I need extra, or anything that I could improve on, PLEASE let me know. I’m quite nervous here, seeing all of these amazing people rejected from MIT. Also, will my location play a role in my application? Perhaps an URS [Under Represented State] ? :D</p>

<p>Elaborate on what you mean by “asexual”.</p>

3

<p>As in, not attracted to either sex. Identifying as neither straight nor gay nor bisexual, and not engaging in romantic or sexual relations. </p>

<p>Do y’all think it would be something better left off?</p>

4

<p>That, in my opinion, is not a hook, unless you can REALLY stretch it into an essay. I would personally leave it off your application, as it doesn’t do anything for you. Going out of state is not a hook either, in fact it can detract from your chances.</p>

5

<p>Alrighty, scratch that. But, what I mean about the out of state thing, is that very few people here are given the chance to expand their education beyond tech school/community college. Not that either a tech school or a community college is bad, but it’s a bit rare for a student here to have the chance to attend a larger college. </p>

<p>I haven’t really been on CC for long, so I apologize if a larger portion of people than I am anticipating attend similar, noncompetitive high-schools.</p>

<p>I’ll leave others to do the actual chancing, but just confirming that what you’re saying certainly makes sense - coming from a rural, somewhat underrepresented state, from a high school that sends few grads to college out of state, and being first gen is, if not a full on hook, that certainly a “tip” factor.
It would most likely help you if anything, as long as tests scores back up that you can handle the work, which your ACT score would seem to do. But again, I’ll leave others to chance since I don’t know a whole lot about MIT.</p>

<p>That’s funny… one of my friends says that I’m asexual because I sold my sexuality to CollegeBoard.</p>
