<p>True, we may be the apocalypse class, but at least we'll get to graduate before we all die. In fact, we'll even have half a year of graduated life! You guys will be busy filling out grad school applications when the world ends. =P</p>

<p>I think going to MIT would be amazing, but I don't know if I've done enough math/science stuff to get in. Maybe that'll differentiate me from the rest of the crowd? In high school I've done mostly debate and foreign languages.</p>
<p>Course 14 & Course 21F!</p>
<p>Wow this thread is up already...I thought it would appear around the time the app came up, but I guess not. I'll be applying, and I'm most definitely ready (Course 2!), but I'm definitely avoiding these types of threads and CC during that time because they make me more nervous than I should be (flashback to MITES decisions).</p>
<p>I remember getting a MyMIT account when I was a freshman. I think I've only logged in once or twice since then lol...</p>

<p>From apocalyps: 'highly charged interstellar energy cloud'. Anyway-since this guy is B.A. graduate...I think he most pobably is referring to a black hole or something. But vanishing magnetic fields ? (Got to chk that one out)
And here I was thinking that i was going to blow up the world creating large scale nuclear fusion reaction on the moon. heh.</p>
<p>So when do the applications come out?</p>
<p>July, I think?</p>
<p>ouioui. i remember at camp last year when apps came out there was a mad rush to get started.. it was kind of funny. :)</p>

<p>hey, i've heard rumours that mit is a deeply frat school, with frat parties and the whole shebang. anyone know how true that is?</p>
<p>It's very true. There are 27 fraternities (but only 5, soon to be 6, sororities) and people from other Boston colleges claim that their parties are the best in Boston.</p>
<p>the application comes out July 24</p>
<p>How do you know that?</p>
<p>that's exciting, though, that it's coming out so soon!</p>
<p>It'll be Course 7 for me - the more micropipets the better! :D</p>
<p>I have to tell my micropipet story!
So. my mom used to be a research scientist and as a child she would pick me up from day care and I would stay with her at the lab. I used to envy her use of the micropipets.. and I would use the clicky ballpoint pens and stab paper. We have a picture of me doing that but apparently I did it almost every day. (There's also a story of me wanting a lab mouse as a pet.. but that's another story for another time.) So last friday, we got to the bacterial dna lab in AP bio and we got to use micropipetts... so my childhood dream finally came true!! :D</p>
<p>Nice! I'm taking a biotechnology class at my school this year, and we've used them all year, and it never fails to be exciting.</p>
<p>Except when you forget to use aerosol tips (pipet tips with cotton in the top...for some reason they work) for PCR...that can screw up your results.</p>
<p>classof09, THAT IS SO CUTE!!!!</p>
<p>classof09, that would be hilarious if you sent that picture in with your application. That is absolutely adorable. Clearly, meant to go to MIT since childhood. haha</p>
<p>I haven't been on in a few days, but
@lavieboheme (cool name, btw) One of the admissions officers told us at the fly-in when we had our admissions session : )</p>
<p>gud luck to you guyz, it's almost always better to start early. Jux dat as at October last year, I wasn't even thinking of going to MIT. Only God knows how I got in.:D</p>
<p>I don't think I mentioned this before but I'm most interested in 5 or 9. I'd have to take a class or two in 9 to see if I'd like it.</p>

<p>I know a lot of people would laugh at this but I can't wait for the application to be available.
So should we like, start posting stats on here and stuff?
Or... no?</p>
