Haha, what? I can assure you that nobody gets into MIT on the strength or weakness of their postings on College Confidential or elsewhere on the internet.



Lol, true, but admissions officers seem to pay a decent amount of attention to this forum… Ben Jones figured out my real-life name, which makes me wonder if maybe the love I displayed for MIT here had some effect. I mean, I’m sure it didn’t get me in–I’m qualified in my own right–but maybe it proved on some level that I was a nice person/the kind of person they want at MIT? That kind of stuff can be hard to get across on a college app.
