Help With MIT Application (in general)- What to do?

<p>Hey Pat. I had the -exactly- same dilemna as you all four years of my high school career. There wasn’t really anything that I could emphasize as something that stood out about me, and I was never sure what aspect of myself I should talk about in my essays and personal reflections.</p>

<p>However, you can easily use this to your advantage by emphasize how broad of a range you have. Your openmindedness to new ideas. Your ability to adapt, learn, and develop. Your ability to manage your time well to balance the many exciting aspects of your life. I used my multifaceted personality as the topic of one of my college essays (feel free to PM me if you’d like to see it), and I believe it was quite successful!</p>

<p>Best of luck! It surprises me to realize that only 8 months ago I was in your exact same position, worrying about college apps, haha =)</p>
