This is a melodramatic thread…I wish people really knew what they were saying on most occassions. While MIT is a dream for many, international olympiad is not the end all be all. The US is not composed of only MIT, as Britain is not just compiled of Cambridge. There is much greater selection and campus view is much more appealing. To get into a technological school can mean various different routes. You could do a project, present it, and carry it to an international platform. If you have an international recognition and more “wow” stuff attached to it, you will be good. To put all your eggs in one basket by saying that once you get into intl olympiad you will get into MIT or elsewhere is nonsense. A sensible kid is one who realizes that everyone is different and special in his or her own way.
