<p>**** it. I’m not going to do graduate level research to prove to MIT that I have potential. Its a beautiful school and I’d love to go there, but I don’t see a degree from MIT giving me much of an edge over graduates of UT in the real world… Especially a world so dependent on Engineers.</p>
<p>I like Science a lot but since I joined CC and started asking questions about college I feel like its being forced down my throat. I’d like a couple more years of being a happy-go-lucky teenager before devoting “afternoons and nights after school” to research, like that girl who won ISEF…</p>
