<p>asians have this belief that if you promise to make a contribution back to something that you may have a wish... well i promise if i get into mit i'll scan the mit board at cc like crazy :) and give advice to others</p>
<p>Clearly, a lot of people contribute. I don't by any means wish to include the alum parents (56, texas, etc.), it's just that there are some people on this board who seem to go above and beyond when it comes to demystifying the process and helping others. Ben (obviously), mollie, and moot just come to mind more often than others.</p>
