<p>People are like "oh, straight A's, you'll go to any college you want." I choose MIT, now find out that that everyone has these grades and I need ECs super bad. Already a junior with crap ECs. What do I do?</p>
<p>Cure cancer.</p>
<p>Fine. easy</p>
<p>There ya go. You cured cancer. :)</p>
<p>Congratulations</p>
<p>should we inform the press :0</p>
<p>Oh most definitely.</p>
<p>I dunno, curing cancer… seems a bit weak by MIT’s standards.</p>
<p>Curing cancer is rather unoriginal no? You need to stand out, and simply curing cancer just is not a hook.</p>
<p>Design and implement womens 2.0 on a global scale.</p>
<p>create a perpetual motion device</p>
<p>build a spaceship that can travel faster than the speed of light.</p>
<p>disprove the Poincare conjecture</p>
<p>Have your parents convince the media that you are in a balloon up in the air! </p>
<p>Oh wait…</p>
<p>Start an organization.</p>
<p>meadow36, im pretty sure if i cured aids in 11th or 12th grade, before even being 18, any college in the world would want me, just cause that right there is saving millions of lives</p>
<p>Well you see, technically you would need to go through a clinical testing phase which lasts about 90 months before it’s put out in to market, to see if it’s safe. </p>
<p>And then who knows if your drug cures or KILLS. Instant rejection or rescission.</p>
<p>You don’t need a miracle drug to save lives. One guy who created a great strain of wheat also saved millions. :)</p>
<p>Wheat’s boring though.</p>
<p>Pfff, elitist!</p>
