Congratulations!

It’s been said before, but MIT wants a range of students - from well-rounded to very pointy. (I was in the “well-rounded” bucket.) Your writing awards will definitely be a plus (as long as you’ve already shown Admissions you like science enough to get through at least the GIRs, which I suspect you’re all set with).
