<p>My neighbor got accepted into MIT and recently she was telling me about their application. She says that MIT likes to see personality in their students and they really take into account the essays that students write. She went to a summer program at MIT and she said that when a student was talking to an admissions officer and telling the officer about their EC’s, the officer stopped them, and my neighbor said that it seemed that MIT didn’t really weigh EC’s as much, so just take that into account.</p>
