<p>I face two problems
1. Picking a department (they're all amazing)
2. Writing about it interestingly in 100 words</p>
<p>Did you guys go all creative? Or just stick to the basic teachers+research+MIT awesomeness</p>
<p>I chose Course 24. Mine was all “OMG, linguistics is awesome” and actually said nothing about the specifics of the program at MIT.</p>
<p>Mine was actually cut down from my 600 or something word UCAS PS (for Cambridge/other UK schools).</p>
<p>I picked Course 6 and wrote about why I like engineering.</p>
<p>I think I picked chemistry and then wrote an essay about how I have no idea what I want to do, but love learning.</p>
<p>I went with course 20 and like Millancad, basically talked about how awesome biology is.</p>
