Thank you.

I started filling out the online application today for MIT and there is one thing that might help overshadow those community college GPAs… they asked me to list all of my math courses and the grades I got in all of them. I had 17 and they were all A’s. So, that did make me feel better that they are really looking at those courses I took. That will hopefully stand out more than the community college GPAs. **I noticed that some schools want Real Analysis, but I didn’t take that class. Hopefully, some of my other “theory” classes will substitute for that.

Oh yeah and to answer your other question… yes 1994 was right. I’m OLD!! I’m 36. I’m sort of a “late bloomer.” I didn’t know what I wanted to do right out of high school, it took me awhile to do some maturing about school work and taking my education seriously.

Thank you for the reply.
