<p>So many asians here. Some of you maybe are Asian American.</p>

208

<p>Well good thing so many of you are internationals… better chance for me, haha XD</p>

209

<p>I’m an Asian Asian. =D So are Thais considered URMs?</p>

<p>all of these lists are meaningless. If you get in well and good. If you don’t, well - there are any number of top schools that are excellent for top science students and with out the over hype of MIT, e.g: Duke, Univ of IL, Johns Hopkins etc. When I visited MIT a couple of times last year, I was disappointed at the attitude of adm. folks as they down played the importance of academic excellence and emphasised the personal attributes of students, e.g: are you an interesting enough person to be in MIT? I understand they don’t want to fill MIT with all math geniuses and bookish nerds, but come on, is the main qualification to get in to MIT “am I an interesting person to go to this school” give me a breaK MIT</p>

219

<p>@yorker61 - Dude, MIT doesn’t need to emphasize its academic excellence. The main qualification is to be academically awesome. This does not cut out the bulk of the applicants. We want the school to be an interesting place of true genius of all sorts, not just being smart. MIT’s beyond that.</p>

</p>

<p>Why would they bother playing up the thing that everybody knows about already? It would make no sense.</p>
