<p>I'll send an SOS to the world...</p>

<p>....womanizer.</p>

<p>Song lyrics will just keep coming.</p>

4

<p>....anyone?</p>

5

<p>....please? =(</p>

6

<p>yes yes... you do have a good shot... but its verrryyy arbitrary</p>

<p>Hey toastmaster,
No one can even guess because we can't tell what kind of passion you showed for your interests in your essay. Stats are good, EC's math club and DI good, the 1 hour a week stuff just seems like filler, the city rec looks like it could be interesting but can't tell from what you have listed. Has your DI team been to globals? </p>

<p>BTW what DI challenge are you doing this year?</p>

8

<p>Our team went to globals a few years ago. We're doing "A New Angle."</p>

9

<p>My team is also doing New Angle. What challenge did you do when you were at Globals a few years ago, maybe we were in the same challenge at Globals too. I think Globals will look really good on your application.</p>

10

<p>Globals was in middle school =(</p>

11

<p>yea toastmaster, I don't think I can see that you are doing what you truly wish to pursue (whatever that may be) in your extracurricular activities. You seem to be very spread out across the board without a specialization that mit admissions often looks for.</p>

<p>"AP Literature, AP Physics B, AP Calc AB, Latin 4, Organic Chemistry Honors"</p>

<p>Cool we have almost the same schedule! I'm in AP Lit, AP Physics C, AP Calc BC, Latin 4, and Advanced Chem. </p>

<p>Sorry that was random I thought it was neat. I hope you get in!</p>
