<p>"i remember talking to a girl who goes there, and she said about the guy situation "you feel good because hot girls are in such high demand, but there are too many urkels runnig around here" that amused me."</p>
<p>Eff that girl--she's got a case of Hot Girl at MIT Syndrome. Newsflash, girls at MIT aren't that cute. I could count the number of girls that are legitimately really attractive on one hand. You get a distorted perception of reality, going here, though, and these mildly attractive girls get these massive superiority complexes, thinking they are hot, and start calling people Urkels when in actuality, they're far from being a Laura Winslow. If you're not careful, you can fall into their trap and go along with them thinking they're hot. This is the not the case. </p>
<p>"Urkel... you know Steve Urkel... the stereotypical geek from the '90s TV series "Family Values".."</p>
<p>geniez clone... endless stereotypes for asians...</p>
<p>1) we love rice (which i do)
2) we play classical instruments (which i do)
3) we're geared towards math/science (which i am)
4) generally very intelligent (which, pompous as this may sound, i think i am)
5) we're short (which i am- 5'6" 5'7" ish)
6) we like MIT (which i do)
7) we eat pets as food (most definitely not true...)</p>
<p>so 6/7 which is about 84%, not bad... i play into the roll fairly well</p>
<p>does it bother anyone else that intelligence isnt highly regarded? Perhaps the girls at MIT aren't the hottest girls ever, but at least we can hold an intelligent conversation.</p>
<p>reason: LoL... Too bad you ran into those conceited girls. Don't lose your temper because of them. These girls are usually innately silly and have low self-esteem. They won't be haughty for long, after a while of bashing urkels and exhibiting airs of superiority, people will get sick of them. Then, these girls will return to their original states, their ego deflated and their temporary popularity lost into obscurity.</p>
<p>cujoe: LOL... that's funny... I hope number 7 was meant as a joke. I've heard of Hong Kong people eating monkey brains and tigers' reproductive organs, but eating pets? Little puppies and kittens? Nah... I refuse to believe they are that barbaric.</p>
<p>and that girl sounds like she needs a beatin with the ugly stick, to bring her and her head of air down to earth... we'll see who's the shiz then... just kidding, it's bad to encourage violence (no i'm not a tree hugger) even when it seems like it's appropriate... except when it comes to police brutality in which case i'm thumbs up... jk</p>
<p>Oh, you're a junior? Then chill out... you still have another chance next year. I don't know about your chances, though it'd be good if you could raise your physics score up. I think your stats are pretty common.</p>
<p>well... technically a junior, already applied, i have the option of graduation if i want to i.e (if i get accepted to cornell engineering ed, columbia seas, mit...) and i'm not retaking physics, i got a 5 on the exam but a 690, it doesn't translate very well for me</p>
<p>i've taken over this post!!... i know my stats are common, does that mean i could go either way, if my essay is average/good i could go 50/50??? my ec's are spectacular, with the exception of the violin, because i have been very committed to that... still, would like opinions, cuz i would def go to MIT if i get accepted thsi year... ASSUMING I GET REJECTED FROM FREAKIN cornell engineering</p>
<p>i meant are not,* i didn't really do well on the AMC competitions, i tend to hover around 100, and the other ones are just tutoring clubs, science clubs, latin club, and intramural hockey, so i'm not standout*</p>
<p>relax, cujoe169... no one can tell whether you'll be accepted except the adcom... just apply and hope for the best</p>
<p>at least you still have another chance next year... whereas other people don't... I, for example, have graduated since May... I would say I should be more worried than you should, but I just did my best and whatever the outcome... let it be.</p>
