<p>I know someone who is heavily involved with people at the admissions office at MIT.</p>
<p>And remember, this process doesn’t really change much. One still doesn’t know how to get a 5 in each category. I mean, we all already knew that being well rounded was important, right?</p>
<p>This system is just MIT’s method of categorizing and sorting out the applicants. really, it’s kind of a useless piece of information from an applicant standpoint, except for the sake of pure intellectual curiosity in how the system works.</p>
