trying to make a choice on which one to go to haha</p>

<p>I live in N Cali.</p>

<p>"i did that app the night before."
yeah, well I did it the day it was due.</p>

<p>"ANOTHER ASIAN! WHOO!"
Oh yes.</p>

<p>So did you guys get the list of everyone's names?</p>

<p>What did you all write about in your essays?</p>

<p>Nope. Didn't get the list.</p>

<p>here they are:
-about the importance of my mentorship for programming and robotics as well as how and why i like the field
-event detailing how i learned the importance of leadership and how I took steps to improve my leadership skills
-my chinese identity and how i followed and broke away from the norm expectations
-my hopes for future career in developing new robotics technology to improve the world
Too bad no one has the list, it'd save alot of time...</p>

<p>nice list, lzhang...mine wasn't so sciency and math as urs. i'm the kind of person who likes liberal arts and math/sciences.
ever noticed that there's no rejections here so far? it seems like a lot of ppl here were accepted. wonder what this could mean.....it could mean MITES are sending out acceptance letters first, then wait for their responses. if some decline, then they move on to the rest of ppl who weren't accepted in the first place...</p>

<p>if this relieves any tension or sheds some light on the situation
there was a paper that said if you had any prior experience in any of the classes they offered you should not attend. This mainly applies to the advanced calculus because it is a review of AB cal and an intro to BC so IDK what that means for any of you guys, but good luck.</p>
