<p>4.0 from GTech?! You might actually have a shot.</p>

3

<p>What is your high school GPA? What classes have you taken this semester? Do you have any other reason for attending MIT other than Boston?</p>

<p>I went to an international School. so my gpa translated to somethign like 3.6</p>

<p>All i can say is.. its nt up to par.. i ddnt care about school.. i used to do freelance programming make digicircuits.. etc.. study chaos theory other stuff..</p>

<p>bUt MIT was my dream.. always was.. research.. great minds.. the awe i feel on their campus.. its just ecstatic.. i wanna be there..</p>

<p>and i think they need to see that i am worthy.. .. my interviewer (freshman application) sed that If u dnt make it.. then hu will.. but i ddnt.. cause of low sats and school grades.. (relatively low).. so i was just wandering if my college stuff will overshadow it.. but u asked about it.. so i guess... i shud wait another year before applying so HS is completely (Almost) disregarded?</p>

<p>i am taking calc 2, cs advanced topics, cs matlab, gt 1000 (a gatech class), micro economics, psychology</p>

<p>BTW: GATECH's amazing too.. great value for money and excellent research oppurtunities.. to tell u guys the truth.. its cause my gfs in boston also.. in addition to the fact that MIT's always been my dream</p>

</p>

<p>Huh?</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, an adcom at MIT said that unless you were an intel finalist or something of the sort, you pretty much don't have a chance.</p>

<p>Post your inquiry on the MIT forum so Ben Jones, an adcom at MIT, can make comments.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

12

<p>that 'ahh' can be interupted many dif ways</p>

13

<p>the interpretation is based on the interpreter...you sick freak. lol</p>

14

<p>it was a joke, geez take it easy</p>

15

<p>Good luck! I wish everyone could get into thier dream school! Where's your gf in boston?</p>

<p>I hope you get in but if you dont I am sure you would make a great candidate for some of thier graduate programs.</p>

16

<p>O cool, where is this MIT forum?</p>

<p>ps.. wat is an intel finalist? U mean their multithreading competitions on Top Coder? Or interning there, cause I think I have a very good chance of interning there this summer</p>

17

<p>Main page: CC Top Universities</p>

18

<p>try getting good at memorizing rubik's cubes and win international competitions then apply</p>

<p>what im trying to stay is you need to stand out in a way thats so unusual and cool</p>

19

<p>Really?</p>

<p>Don't waste your time with unsubstantiated nonsense. You have a chance, so apply. I strongly doubt 'iwanatransfer' has met every single admitted student at MIT.</p>
