(MITAdmissions)

So I know I have literally no followers on this page but I would like to make a countdown until PI day, a day which will indefinitely change my life. 20 Days from now I will figure out if I can attend my dream school and live the life I have always wanted. If everything I have done thus far was enough for acceptance. The past few months have been very difficult for me like everyone was waiting to see my failure and overanalyzing my mistakes. But so far I have stood strong against the world, even achieving greatness in some aspects of life. I am confident that these next 20 days will be the hardest yet, for maybe they lead to eternal (at least for the next 4 years) salvation in the most perfect place on earth. I am very ready to start my life at MIT, hopefully, I will be able to. Until tomorrow.

55 essays written for one college, 10 written for the others. This is the one thing that matters in my life guys, lets here for another 45 at least lmao

These are only 3 of my many passions, and If I had the time I would write a million essays about these things. I want to go to a place where my passions aren’t hidden, where I can be myself in all my self loving glory. MIT if you’re reading this, these are my passions, I’ve wrote about them in my essays, and I want to continue them in the best school in the world. Please give me that chance, I promise I won’t let you down.

So today I went to the city to attend the 2017 Columbia university college fair. Now as much as I hate the city, I love columbia’s campus. The architecture, vibrant colors, and lovable people earn Columbia the honor of being the only place I feel safe in the city. MIT was at the fair, and that was all I needed. I spent upwards of 30 minutes talking to the nice lady there. The 30 short minutes I spent there confirmed my faith that there is no better place for me. One surprising observation I noticed during the fair was the amount of unnecessary questions. Some people don’t realize that “average SAT score” and “average GPA” is all online, along with many other statistics. I went for the more intriguing questions, ones they had to answer truthfully. I think the College Fair was a success, I learnt a lot about a lot of colleges, and I am even more excited to go forth on this new journey, turning onto the highway of life, starting my journey to the place I want to be.

After extensive research last night I found some information about the MIT admissions process, and to be honest, I am scared to death now. starting with about 17k applicants, about 25% can be ruled out because of their grades, quality of essays, extracurriculars etc. That leaves about 12500 students that are qualified to attend the Hogwarts of engineering. Now they start cutting. Based on essays, recommendations, information, online sources etc. the MIT admissions cuts the group down to 20%, or about 3400 people, all of which are essentially perfect for MIT. However, MIT can only accept as much as they can hold, which happens to be about 1100 students every year, which means 2300 applicants, who are more than qualified to come, are rejected. Now this scares me. I honestly believe that I am perfect for MIT, and MIT perfect for me. I even wrote this on my essays, and its true. The feeling I got when I first touched that amazing campus was the feeling of coming home after 17 years of aimlessly wandering, no knowing where life will take me. Everything clicked for me when I came to the campus: all my hopes and dreams are through those giant pillars, down the infinite corridor, in every nook and cranny of that amazing school. But now, even if I get to that last 20%, its basically a lottery. Maybe they will like me, maybe they wont, maybe I’m in, maybe not. I don’t know what will get me in now, but me being me, I’m going to do everything it takes to bring me back home.
