I really didn’t mean to come off the wrong way and make it sound as if I were trying to fit a mould. Changing the basis of who I’m presenting in my application is certainly not what I would want to do (after all, I can probably write an application for myself better than I can for someone I don’t really know). What I was really trying to express my concern about is that I know MIT looks for depth not breadth (which is wonderful), but since my interests and pursuits are rather broad, I don’t want it to appear as if those interests are also shallow. (And I know that you show this by doing things - It’s just, the things I’ve done are somewhat spread out and not concentrated in only one or two areas). Sorry again if my earlier post came out the wrong way. I didn’t mean to sound like I intend on being anything but completely honest in my application.
