<p>Passion of stalking your posts? Lol. You’ve got to be kidding me. I can’t help it if you hijack every ‘chance me’ post on the Indian thread harping on how the Ivies and MIT deceive internationals. Actually, YOU seem to have developed some sort of passion for bashing almost every University.</p>
<p>Look, I don’t mean to be rude. I have nothing for you, and nothing against you. </p>
<p>But just read what you’ve written with an open mind and tell me it doesn’t seem like you have an obvious bias against MIT.<br>
“My counterparts back at MIT are still stuck on Biology 101, Chemistry 101, Physics 101, and how to “rigorously prove” the derivative of ln(x).” </p>
<p>Read your last post and tell me it doesn’t seem like you’re venting about your perceived injustice. “I now know that I should have HOPED that MY interview had been waived. You know why? I got an interviewer (the only one in all of Japan), who I doubt could even remember most of his time at MIT (40 years ago), and whose concluding statement was, 'Well, you SEEM to have the maturity to go to MIT. But please remember that they haven’t taken anyone from Japan for years.” WOW. WOW. WOW. "</p>
<p>“It is the complete opacity of the process, and the hard-headedness and deliberate lies that the admissions team tells in order to placate an ever-growing international applicant pool.” Nobody promised anyone anything. International Admission to MIT has always been cutthroat and extremely competitive, and MIT has always maintained that stance.</p>
<p>You can argue that most Indians who have gotten in to MIT have some sort of International Olympiad medal. But that doesn’t mean MIT “requires” every international student to posses a medal. So, it’s unrealistic to expect MIT to explicitly post something saying, “If you don’t have a medal, don’t even bother applying.”</p>
<p>You also can’t make generalizations like Indians apply to MIT only because of its prestige’
or something like that. Okay, there will be someone applying to MIT because it has a global image, but you know that these applicants haven’t done their homework if they’re only applying to MIT.</p>
<p>Acceptances and rejections to most ‘prestigious’ Universities seem somewhat random or arbitrary. Sometimes the dice rolls your way; sometimes it doesn’t.</p>
<p>Now let’s just leave it that and end this conversation.</p>
