omg what was i thinking

<p>and about that kid who was ranked 30th in his school and got into MIT while the Renaissance Man got rejected, don’t be so sure that John Kerry was the catalyst. Sure, he’s freaking John Kerry, but if you think about it, he probably did internships with students as pastime contributions. (assuming that the students didn’t have to compete with 5000000 other nerds for 2 internship positions, which would be much more impressive). I’m pretty sure that the MIT officers consider all these aspects. Plus, it may also be a matter of taking advantage of your opportunities, which might come as an advantage to more rural areas.</p>

<p>There are a gagillion possible arguments behind the admission process. Like the one “some applications only get looked at for 20 minutes,” in which case stats and laundry lists would take their toll.</p>

<p>so my opinion: Express yourself! don’t be afraiiiid! Just do your best! I believe in You!!!</p>
