No, actually its just an approach/ new insight. I’ve just shown a simpler perspective which is easy to grasp for a high-schooler (who knows basic theorems and lemmas of algebra).
IT’S NOT A COMPLETE PROOF, it’s just a simpler way to approach the PROOF.
Also, can I submit it as something else rather than an article, as I think it may lead us to solve it in a bit simpler way.
What I think is that conjectures like this one should have an easy way to solve, but it may require some sort of combination of simple ideas that we haven’t tried yet (for example, take the case of Zaiger’s one-sentence proof; the problem was initially solved but the proof was not-so-simple, then it kept on reducing and becoming simpler and finally Don Zagier gave us this wonderful One-Sentence Proof)
If it is a simpler form that has never been published, then i guess you can show it. But don’t show it if it has been published in a predatory journal.
My child applied ea, but was never invited to interview. I know his school had never had someone apply to MIT before, does that suggest no EC was assisgned to his school, even though it is in a big city that likely has lots of alum? Or was MIT just not interested in interviewing him?
Also, he was deferred. Any chance they will invite him to interview now?
Also he emailed admissions before EA decision, saying just in case he had missed the email, and admissions said if he wasn’t invited to interview, it won’t be counted against him. But an interview could have counted in his favor, if he’d had the chance, so I am not sure how they can say it won’t hurt applicants who don’t get a chance to interview. Anyway, disappointed that he hasn’t gotten the chance and hoping it doesn’t mean they decided he wasn’t interesting/qualified enough to interview.
I don’t know how your area does it, but I am assigned certain high schools in my local area. I have never seen any applicants from some of those schools but would interview them if there were.
Last time I checked, there were many pages to the list of names of applicants that did not have an EC assigned to them for an interview. Just not enough ECs to go around. Keep checking his email as an EC may pick up his name and do the interview. I just went to the list a week ago and picked up a few more to do.
Not getting an interview doesn’t mean that MIT is not interested. It is just a EC numbers issue with either getting assigned to an EC or put on the overflow list. When an EC picks from the overflow list, they know nothing about the applicant except name, hometown, high school name and contact info.
What is the deadline for ECs to submit interview reports for RD applicants? My daughter is a UK applicant and wondering if there’s still time to get an interview.
The deadline for the interview reports that the ECs were given is February 14. But it seems like I always get an email sent to all the ECs about a week AFTER that to hurry up and get your reports in. So, in my book the deadline is kind of soft.
Bottom line, there is still time for an interview but if other ECs are like me, I’m about “interviewed out” at this point.
Anyone from South asian country got their interview? I haven’t got any interview offer, and as I’m an international student, I’m afraid
this means rejection.
