<p>to wut extent are they?...</p>
<p>What rumors are you referring to?</p>
<p>easier to get into</p>
<p>I don't think it is AA as much as just looking at what opportunities you have...</p>
<p>though I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me.</p>
<p>Ah, the MIT AA discussion resurfaces. :-)</p>
<p>This has been discussed to death in previous threads here on CC, as well as in our blogs, so I'll refrain from stirring it up again. But Sagar is totally right; the key is a given applicant's context.</p>
<p>As our Dean likes to say, "there's only one way to get into MIT, and that's the hard way."</p>
<p>Yeah, only one way to graduate too...</p>
<p>umm...elaborate...any former AA threads aren't on here anymore so tell me</p>
<p>try the built in search function... or google (which you can set to specifically cc pages)</p>
<p>or the cc archives</p>
<p>Sometimes it is tempting to just stop trying like so many at school... but then I crank on Visual Studio, and things started turning.</p>
