<p>I’ve seen plenty of lists of what to bring to college, but I’m wondering what I should especially bring to MIT.</p>

<p>Ya that’s weird. I thought MIT didn’t have class rank/grad honors.</p>

<p>Anyway, the difference between the athletic abilities of some and others would really be astonishing. The varsity swimmers would have no problem cruising through 100m on day one, while on the other hand all of the kids who’d never been in the water/were simply too nonathletic put it off until the month before grad!</p>

It doesn’t. There’s no way to know where you stand relative to everyone else, unless you have a 5.0, of course.</p>

<p>I put my swim test off until the last semester before I graduated. It wasn’t because I was unathletic. It was just because I didn’t want to take the swim test.</p>

Or if you get inducted into one of the many honor societies. Or if you look at the publicly posted grade distributions…</p>
