<p>I take the term "adcom" to be an abbreviation for "admission committee," and as far as I know most admission officers think that is a WEIRD term to use to refer to a single human being. Now that I've made that pedantic comment :) I'll answer your question by saying that my son and I were both VERY impressed by the good sense of humor shown by MIT admission officer Amy Perez and the "educational counselors" (alumni interviewers in MIT-speak) who appeared with her at the MIT information session in St. Paul, MN three years ago. My son has been eager to apply to MIT ever since that meeting. That is STILL the most funny and interesting college information I have ever attended--so I have decided to go to this year's MIT meeting in Minneapolis, to see what this year's session looks like. </p>
<p>Have you looked at the MIT application form? </p>

<p>Do you read the MIT admission blogs? </p>

<p>How could you doubt that some of the people who will act on your application have a sense of humor?</p>
