<p>I’m from pubic school in Kentucky in terrible need of renovation that for some reason has a fairly good student body; 2 years ago, one of my friends was admitted into MIT as a junior and became the only exception to our school’s “don’t graduate anyone early” policy. She’s the only MIT admit I know of but certainly not the only appicant; we have three this year. </p>
<p>It looks like about 6 or 7 Kentuckians are admitted each year, so hopefully I’ll be one of them, even though I don’t go to a big bad private school.</p>
