D= I'm so screwed

<p>(1) You shouldn’t give up. Think about it. There are probably what, 10k+ applicants who have filled up their “most significant challenge” essays, and presumably, came up with a way to “manage” it. You’re in good company. (Uh, exclude me from that set; I haven’t come up with my essay. T_T)</p>

<p>Why did you sign up for the SAT2? There are two verses in a song that I like very much.</p>

<p>“諦めきれるモノならば 最初から興味もたない
忘れられるモノなら 必要さも感じないから”</p>

<p>“If it is something that I can give up on,
I wouldn’t have been interested in it in the first place.
If it is something that can be forgotten,
I won’t have felt the need for it to begin with.”</p>

<p>(2) That commercial sounds familiar. Did you film this? [YouTube</a> - Condom Commercial](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWkZ_StRjU0]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWkZ_StRjU0) If not, you might want to consider that it’s been done before into whether it’s going to be on your essay or not.</p>

<p>(3) There are people who get admitted with scores like yours. Although I would agree that you’re disadvantaged.</p>

22

<p>If you’re 15 why don’t you just apply next year.</p>

<p>Calm down. I’m sure that MIT seeks people who can handle stress (IT’S MIT) and you are definitely not going about your stress the right way.</p>

23

<p>btw they’re not even looking at your writing score this year</p>

24

<p>They are not looking Writing score? Really ?</p>

25

<p>True enough.</p>

26

<p>It’s somewhere on the MIT site but I can’t find it. I remember being extremely relieved when I found out.</p>

27

<p>They won’t care even if I get a 0 on writing? :P</p>

28

<p>Who knows. I considered not doing the writing portion, but I decided to err on the side of caution.</p>

29

<p>Nope, they don’t count your writing score. You can check on [MIT</a> Admissions | Blog Entry: “MIT Regular Action Deadline”](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/deadlines/mit_regular_action_deadline_1.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/deadlines/mit_regular_action_deadline_1.shtml)</p>

<p>Btw Mr. P, don’t worry. You’re other stats matter a lot more than your SATI scores as an international. You meet the 700s mark (not sure about CR) for math.</p>

<p>(1) I was just not in the mood yesterday. So forget anything I said. I do the SAT 2 because I haven’t done them yet.</p>

<p>(2) Actually, no. I didn’t know that there was this commercial. =.= Oh no. But it was different. At least it’s not in the supermarket. D= I probably shouldn’t use it even if it’s my idea then. Oh this just get’s worse and worse. /sigh</p>

<p>(3) yes, disadvantaged indeed. =[[</p>

31

<p>I don’t get it. You’re int’l, so why do you have to concern your SAT score? Or you didn’t take TOEFL?
Moreover, 3 wrong in a bad day or else doesn’t mean you’re not able to do extraordinary things. 700 M doesn’t say much (though I would be angry if I got that :D).
You have gone this far, why give up?</p>

<p>(if I were an MIT adcom, and saw this thread, I would reject you right away without looking at any word you wrote in the application :D)</p>

32

<p>You know what, you are right. It’s not like I can do anything about it. So if I go on like this it will just destroy me. And I’m not gonna let that happen. =]</p>

33

<p>Hey you’re the most funny (and inspiring :)) one I’ve seen :D</p>

34

<p>hey mrpropapanda who knows … some day here you will be writing " yay im in !! " lol …</p>

35

<p>I take your word for now ranadeep. Let’s hope that you are right. =]</p>

36

<p>My God, after all, you still say “hope”, MrPanda. Let say “expect” :D</p>

37

<p>Alright then. Expecto… Hey this sounds familiar. Patronus charm perhaps? Yep.</p>

38

<p>I’m hoping / expecting these words as well.</p>

39

<p>I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, though infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero.</p>

<p>“God does play dice”, huh? :D</p>
