<p>Oh wow, I didn’t think that many people were interested in biomed engineering.
Supervisor, yeah I want to be an aerospace engineer because it’s what I’ve kind of always wanted to be, but biomedical joins both engineering and the medical field together which is really interesting. =)</p>
<p>I’ve never liked hospitals that much. Volunteering at the hospital is fine for me, but going to the hospital as a patient is not a pleasant thought… especially the operating room. =p</p>
<p>Lol I’m not interested in biomedical engineering. I’m not interested in engineering at all. I want to major in brain & cognitive it’s a major at MIT and a minor in neuroscience. Plan to be a neurosurgeon 
it sucks MIT doesn’t have a medical school:/</p>
<p>Oooo, neurosurgeon. That sounds awesome =D</p>
<p>My parents want me to be a doctor or something like that. Then they back it up with, “but you can do whatever you want to”. </p>
<p>Do any of you read MIT blogs?</p>
<p>Haha, I read MIT blogs all the time. It’s addicting and they’re so interesting. :)</p>
<p>Yep, they are interesting and those people have a good sense of humor. =D</p>
<p>yes a neurosurgeon, ahh i love the human brain and also the medical field
i’ve actually held a human brain in my hand :p</p>
<p>nil desperandum, I just saw your question about whether it is okay that your MITES password doesn’t match your e-mail password. That is fine. Personally I think you should always pick a password that is different from your e-mail password when you register for something.</p>
<p>hey has anybody gotten an email yet confirming that they received all your stuff</p>
<p>@Robert
haha, I’ve seen a human brain… never touched.
The only neurosurgeon I can think off of the top of my head is dr. sanjay gupta on CNN…</p>
<p>@creyes
no i havn’t</p>
<p>@hpaero1 ferreal? thats cool haha. its amazing, right?</p>
<p>ahh i haven’t recieved an email either, ehh.</p>
<p>^
yep. it was a couple years back when i was in tx.
ehh, it was cool, but i wouldn’t touch it =p</p>
<p>in 5th grade we dissected baby sharks
in 7th grade, we dissected frogs and it was pretty…disgusting.They looked like rubber toys with a putrid smell.
9th grade, we dissected pigs.</p>
<p>@hpaero1 i live in texas! 
haha.
why wouldn’t you touch it?! its amazing && i’ve touched a liver, spleen, stomache, spinal cord, everything! lol. </p>
<p>omgsh baby sharks?! i wish i can do that lol.
i dissected frogs in 7th grade too.
in Biology Honors we did owl pellets,
and in AP Bio we dissected pigs 
lol.</p>
<p>^
Oh, I just noticed your name thing that says location.
hehe, I lived in Austin for about 3 years and went to dallas/ft. worth like every other weekend.
because i get a bit grossed out… therefore i can’t be a surgeon or doctor=p
wow! you’ve touched all those things? that’s cool. i’ve also seen a liver and lungs (healthy vs. cancerous) but nothing else.</p>
<p>lol, for me pigs was in bio honors. my partner didn’t want to touch the pig because she was too grossed out so i had to do everything and it wasn’t that fun (the smell) but it was interesting =)</p>
<p>yep, baby sharks. =D it was part of a summer program</p>
<p>april is sooo far away…</p>
<p>@hpaero1 ferreal? ahh i like Austin lol. and also Dallas haha.
aw. i dont think i get grossed out, I LOVE BLOOD haha. and people
yeah i’ve touched all those things, it was a week long program at a medical school lol.</p>
<p>ahh i know the smell was HORRIBLE. good thing i’m not dissecting pigs anymore! lol.
aw. thats cool, i hope i get the chance to dissect baby sharks :)</p>
<p>agh i know. april 
is there any other programs you’re applying to?</p>
<p>@Robert
Yeah, Austin was really pretty and UT is…pretty big. Before I moved there, I was thinking of desert, cowboys, and southern accents =p</p>
<p>you love blood?..eww. my friend loves blood ever since she started those twilight books…</p>
<p>pigs were more fun than sharks =D</p>
<p>umm, I’m applying to YESS even though I’m not URM and possibly SSP. i started the application for SSP, but I’ve asked my teachers for so many reccomendations already, it just feels weird to ask again (especially my AP chem teacher. He’s done 3 recs for me already this year).</p>
<p>how about you?</p>
<p>@hpaero1 haha, twilight…and April is soooo far away!</p>
<p>@creyes221 I got a confirmation email when I emailed MITES the end confirmation page for my online app, because I already mailed everything else out. They said thanks for scanning and sending it, and it would be added to the rest of my app. I don’t think we actually get a confirmation email, that they received everything though…</p>
<p>@MIT15
Twilight… ever since harry potter ended, a lot of people went vampire crazy, at least in my school.</p>
<p>Oh, was it like an actual confirmation e-mail about your whole app or just that they got the scanned confirmation thing?
I think we do get a confirmation when they get all our stuff… not sure though.</p>
<p>Hah, yep, a lot of girls went vampire crazy in my school too. I thought the books were good, but some people take it a little too far…lol. </p>
<p>The confirmation email was only for the page I scanned. I still got really excited, though. lol.</p>
<p>I just received a confirmation e-mail, it basically says thank you for applying and that the application is complete. The e-mail also says that you will know your selection status by April 16th. So I guess 3 days less :D</p>
<p>Lol I also like biomedical engineering, but I like chemistry more, thus I prefer chemical engineering.</p>
<p>And yes, those MIT blogs are really interesting, it’s made me like MIT more than I used to.</p>
<p>Hello all!</p>
<p>I also applied to MITES, and can’t wait for results to come out already!</p>
<p>I mailed my stuff off on the postmark date, so I haven’t gotten a confirmation email yet either.</p>
