applicants: possible majors

<p>7-biology :)</p>

<p>Nakim, MIT doesn't admit based on major, so no matter which major you write down, it won't help or hurt your chances.</p>

<p>And haha, zoogies, I was wondering if somebody would notice that. I mean, it's not in the course guide or anything, but everybody knows course 19 is hacking. ;)</p>

<p>Laura, I really do think I read somewhere that BE would take over 20, although a quick search of The Tech indicates that my mind may be slipping in my advanced age. I'll try to find a source on that.</p>

<p>I wrote down 5. I want 3/5 or 6</p>

<p>Isn't 19 applied mechanical engineering and rope physics, or something like that?</p>

There's an explicit list of which numbers have meant what over the years, but I can't seem to locate it at the moment

<p>Something like this</a>, mollieb?</p>

<p>How about this:</p>

<p>"The Biological Engineering (BE) Division is launching a new BE SB degree in the 2005-2006 Academic Year, just in time to welcome the incoming class of 2009. The Dean of Engineering Dr. Thomas Magnanti has recently requested that MIT recognize BE with a course number (Course 20)."</p>

<p>i don't know what i wrote but it goes along the lines of math and chemistry for sure</p>

<p>Biological Engineering</p>

<p>6-3 CS
and 18 math
for me</p>

<p>Awesome, thanks sakky!</p>

<p>stasterisk: impressively close. I'm always so amazed by how much MIT stuff you guys know already. I believe the "offical" name for course 19 is "applied mechanical engineering in an urban setting."</p>

<p>Where did it mention the course numbers for the different fields?</p>

<p>Hmm.. probably 18-3 || 6-2 and 18-1.</p>

<p>It'll be 18 and 7 for me if I get in.</p>
