As a parent of a son who was deferred and then accepted to MIT last year I advise you to start over. Answer: Why am I “right” for MIT…speak in your regular voice – forget the flowery descriptions. My son hated “talking about himself in college apps” but in his deferral essay admitted that and then wrote a nice essay explaining “why MIT” in his own voice. It seems to have worked. Good luck.
