<p>I’m a ninja. Would this increase my chances of gaining admission into MIT? On my MIT application, they ask what I do for pleasure in life. I put that I throw ninja stars and wear cool two-toed boots.</p>
<p>Absolutely. I’d say your a shoe-in.</p>
<p>Yeah SriMuppidi, you’d be a URM</p>
<p>I’m actually serious. I’m a ninja. More specifically, I am a Shodan (1st degree black belt) in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (better known as Ninjutsu). Technically, I am a modern day ninja. :O</p>
<p>I have a certificate from Japan and everything.</p>
<p>Uh, you could put it as an activity, probably won’t help that much if you want to be an engineer or something. Though it is interesting, maybe you can write an essay about it.</p>
<p>I thought about that. I broke my neck and suffered a huge concussion during my black belt test; it really changed my outlook on life.
Moral of the story: Duck!</p>
<p>^^^^lol!!!</p>
