I’m not saying that MIT won’t take students with significant research experience just because they didn’t do Intel. You actually validate what I said about being able to do research without having connections. I was trying to rebute mystory’s claim that MIT only takes people who do research via connections.

@mystory: RSI only takes 80 people per year. There are more than 80 “smart people” in this country. Same applies to MIT - they can only take 1600 per year, but there are many more that are qualified that they simply don’t have spots for.
