MIT fly-in Junior?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey, I got nominated for the MIT fly-in Junior program. Apparently it’s an all-expenses covered 3-day tour of MIT where you get to meet students and staff… etc. Has anything done this before? Would you recommend it? I love MIT but it seems like a distance reach for me… would this boost my chances?</p>

<p>andddd it probably did</p>

3

<p>what are your SAT scores and GPA? have you won USAMO or anything?</p>

4

<p>Were you accepted? (:</p>

<p>Don’t you already go to Yale, class of 2013?</p>

<p>Why would you not take an all expenses paid tour of MIT. Sounds like a blast.</p>

<p>"We would like your help in identifying talented high school students who might be a good fit and match for MIT, with a preference for underrepresented minority students (i.e., African-American, Native American and Latino American students). "</p>

<p>Sounds like they’ve identified you as talented, and you are probably a minority. They want you to apply. Going on this trip will probably help your profile, as it shows interest, and it will also be a great experience all around. They surely didn’t just randomly select 60 juniors to invite.</p>

<p>^It’s an old topic from 2008.</p>

<p>lol! MIT was probably not a “distant reach” if s/he went to Yale. Why did you bump this?</p>

<p>Nothing like giving yourself a pat on the back three years later!</p>

<p>Hahaha! That’s why time-travel would be so cool :P</p>

<p>I always get jooked by people bumping old threads. If anyone was curious his stats for the “fly in” here they are:</p>

<p>Seems like far from a “distant reach” haha.</p>
