[]Essays: Long one about my community service, voluinteering at a camp for disabled children, and the optional one about my research. Fun one about playing guitar and the MIT program/department one about thier alternate energy research program. I did a million and one drafts for each, and I was pretty happy with them.

[li]Advice? Commiserations? Feel like bragging?:[/ul][/li]I think the research and awards helped, and the community service put me over the edge. Plus, I talked to two of the admissions officers (Matt and Mcgreggor) when I visited MIT, and they really liked my research. To the deferred: At least you still have a ~10% chance in RD. Keep your spirits up, I’ll be pulling for you! To the rejected, I’m sorry. From the looks of things, there were many well qualified and deserving students. I know I hate being told this, but it really is the person that makes the college, not the college that makes the person. I’m sure you will succeed wherever you go.

I am really excited(weird huh). I seriously thought that my application would’ve been flat-out rejected. Now before anyone says anything, I’d like to put myself within context because many feel that minorities have the “easy way out.” First off, I’m not even from Boston; I’m originally from Texas. I stayed there until my sophomore year. However during my freshman year, I had to follow my parents to the janitorial service jobs. Every Friday, my parents would take my brother and I to this gas station/Wendy’s at 12 o’clock at night. We would help them sweep and mop. On Sundays it was even worse. My father had suffered from many strokes and could not do the work so I had to vacuum sixteen rooms and sweep a huge warehouse. My mother at this time was working double shifts at a nursing home and soon contracted sarcoma cancer. We were forced to move to Boston and stay with my aunt. After a year, we moved from shelter to shelter and finally to the projects we currently reside in that has a rep for murders and shootings.

I know that I’ll probably get blasted for even being deferred but I wanted to give hope to those who are in situations like mine.
