Interviews: I don't know how to judge these, but as far as time they both went over the usual times (UChicago went for an hour before the lady had to go, we had a nice discussion on the university since I'd already been there for 4 weeks over the summer; MIT went for 1.5 hours, nice convo about LOTR/Star wars and building new clubs)</p>
<p>Essays: Can't judge any of my essays, but I've gone through 10 revisions in total on my common app/mit supplements/uchicago supplement and as of now my english teacher (and my mother, a professor herself) have said that the essays are 'perfect', so they should be above avg. at minimum
- demographics-
State (if domestic applicant): IL
Country (if international applicant):
School Type: Large Public
Ethnicity: Indian
Gender: M
Income bracket (if applicable): High, will refrain from saying how much, but high.
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None that I can think of, son of immigrants? I spent 4 weeks at UChicago over the summer which should count for something (giving them a buttload of money...) </p>
<p>I'm guessing that i'm probably in the high-mid to high average pool of applicants for these colleges but i'd really like to know opinions from other people as well including advice perhaps on how to change somethings or improve some things on my app.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
Good luck!</p>
