<p>i know that MIT does not admit architects in a seperate category, but since i want to focus on architecture and not biochem or physics, is it ok if my resume is more "artsy" than scientific? </p>
<p>everyone on CC applying to MIT has qualified for USAMO or TASP however those areas arent my focus... will this lack of research immediately place me out of the running?</p>
<p>Yes. They want to know that you will be able to do the math/science work required of all students (which can by shown by your grades, scores, rec letters, etc.), but it's also good to be creative.</p>
<p>No, lack of research won't put you out of contention.</p>
<p>Look for posts by molliebatmit.</p>

<p>Not me!! I don't even know what TASP stands for, ahahaha!</p>
<p>you could certainly include samples of your artsy work, if that's what you mean.</p>
<p>There is an optional essay asking about something you've created -- perhaps that's a good place to show your artsiness?</p>
