Why MIT?

<p>A common interview question. How should one answer it?</p>

<p>Any input is welcome.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Because MIT is ranked in the top 10 in USWNR. That’s how I answered it, at least. He seemed pretty pleased.</p>

<p>There’s a reason why they ask that question. If you can’t find a good answer for it by yourself, then maybe it’s time to rethink some things…</p>

<p>

lol, you’re such a jerk. Funny though, and maybe appropriate :P.</p>

<p>

If you can’t figure it out, you probably wouldn’t be happy at MIT.</p>

<p>Why not MIT?</p>

<p>because you <3 math/science? you can talk about IAP or UROP or any of those other crazy acronyms. if i were you, i’d research MIT and find some MIT-specific stuff to impress them. but make sure you’re honest about it… if MIT really doesn’t excite you and you really don’t know why you’re applying then… don’t even bother.</p>

<p>…because they have genuine fallafel trucks parked out front …? :D</p>

<p>…it is in bhostahn right next to the Charles river and I love beavers…</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Sorry, if the answer is not obvious to you … go to the school that does.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If you love beavers, you should go to Caltech ;)</p>

<p>Beavers for both! no?
LOVE Beavers in SNOW!!! =D</p>

<p>;) yes, the home of BuckyBeaver is where my heart is …</p>

<p>…but as they say in Rivendell if you cannot go to CALTECH …hehehe</p>
