<p>I think by "MIT EC" TRIS means their Educational Counselor (e.g. interviewer). Right?</p>
<p>Shhh! Now that would make too much sense.</p>
<p>Although regardless of how similar your activities are, you (hopefully) have different personalities.</p>
<p>:D.</p>
<p>And, hey, MIT admits biological twins (I know several pairs) -- so maybe you should just pretend you're actually twins, and then you'll both get in! Yayyyyy! :)</p>
<p>Hehe, my biological twin decided yesterday to apply to MIT.</p>
<p>wow that is so cool, biological twins to same school, esp one like MIT! hehe yea Olo, I meant my MIT educational counselor.</p>
<p>Yeah, two friends of mine are identical '05 twins... they lived in the same dorm, one floor apart. One majored in 6 (EE) and the other in 2 (MechE), and they were always arguing about which one of them was the best in the other's major.</p>
<p>They're actually both doing their grad work at MIT now...</p>
<p>To be completely honest, pretty much everyone works like crazy at MIT at some point or another. The courses here are created to be tough enough so that no one can just "get it" and not have to study at all.</p>
<p>Straight from Nanceman:</p>
<p>"Geographic diversity is important to ensure that 70% of the incoming class is not from Kent County, Delaware. (I know you already knew that).
No matter how big the pool gets, we will continue to look for great students with four sturdy legs. Think about the admissions process the same way that Tiger Woods approaches The Masters: As long as he brings his A game, it does not matter what the others do. Remember, you are competing only against yourself. We will look at you as an individual...you must do the same."</p>
<p>Yeah, to add to this discussion, we don't read regionally like some other schools. So ctgirl, it's likely the four of you will be read by 8 different people (2 reads each) and seen by different committees in selection.</p>
<p>What! I only have two legs!</p>
<p>How did I get into this place?</p>
<p>Because you are permanently joined to Adam, thus making 4 legs.</p>
<p>(Sorry! Had to! :))</p>
<p>Hee. It's that obvious, even online? :D</p>
<p>Prospectives! Come to MIT! Find a husband!</p>
<p>Hey, mollie--my first husband was from MIT--but the one I stayed married to went to RPI. I think RPI men make better husbands. Really ;-)</p>
<p>Oooh I'm applying to RPI RD :D And it's 25% female there, too.</p>
<p>But as they say, the odds are good, but the goods are odd. ;)</p>
<p>If only there was an engineering school with 75% women! Me=there :)</p>
<p>Keep dreaming mognoose :)
Maybe you could find some way to sneak yourself into an all-girs school...</p>
<p>Olin has cross-registration with Wellesley I believe, but I don't know about those all girls schools...</p>
<p>what does RPI stand for? The only one I can think of is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute?</p>
<p>That's the one. I wonder if the percentage is even lower in the engineering school...</p>
