MIT Minority Introduction to Engineering and Science (MITES)

<p>^Don't feel sucky.
Of course the grass is greener on the other side, but you know the water billls are higher too...</p>

<p>^Haha that was funny, I might have to steal that one.</p>

<p>those are pretty good stats refugee. I'd say that you would have a good chance getting in.
sakura, I'm taking that phrase too if you don't mind.</p>

<p>sakura!! nice saying!! a new twist on a common saying! did u think of that one up?
hmmm..my stats don't look too good compared ot that one....but still i'm a minority in more than one ways....</p>

<p>I'm not sure if thought of it, but I'm pretty sure i'm the only person that has it as a saying on their personal business card.</p>

<p>I applied to a few at Notre Dame...those are my contingency plans. The waiting is just about killing me! Did anyone else get the letter from the director of minority recruitment?</p>

<p>wow thanks guys, a lot of you guys have really impressed me too.
this wait is nerve-wrecking. I wanna know already!</p>

<p>I think I've waited so long that the nerve-wrecking-ness has already dissipated.</p>

<p>^me too. My anticipation index dropped a couple hundred</p>

<p>Being back at school has helped a bit. I think if the RSI kids get to know if they got in, we should too! : )</p>

<p>what? RSI people already got their replies? No fair! ...I can already see the rivalry that will take place between MITES and RSI.</p>

<p>just think of it this way..
if they got told.
it was only because obviously their applicant pool wasn't as competitive as the MITES one</p>

<p>wait, you mean MITES applicants are more competitive than the RSI ppl?? I thought it was the other way around, otherwise, i would have appplied to RSI!!!</p>

<p>I don't think sakura meant it in a literal sense. Its just like her quote.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted!!!</p>

<p>OMG OMG OMG I'm freaking out!!!! Happiest day of my life!!!!!</p>

<p>April Fools! (I'm bored)</p>

<p>Seriously....how long will it take to give out the decisions MIT? College decisions are already over and you can't even send decisions for a freaking summer program!!!!</p>

<p>man friedrice, you got me there. For a second my anticipation meter went up a thousand-fold. And then I saw the next post...dang I forgot today is April fools-its so lame that I fooled by a forum post....</p>

<p>i'm colombian, what are the chancwes that I can get in with ap math and economics?</p>

<p>^
MIT MITES is only for U.S. Citizens and permanent residents. They do not accept internationals.</p>

<p>Also, taking any AP classes is good, but there's also many other factors like race, family income, GPA, and test scores</p>

<p>well, paesguerra must have already submitted his app w/o problems if he's asking at this point in time. I guess by colombian he meant that he is a permanent resident but is from colombia.
But, paesguerra, just telling us that you are colombian and that you take two AP won't help us decide whether u can get in. If you look at the people's stats from before, you should see that Ex. activities and awards(as well as what friedrice listed) are also very important-Not to mention your essays and teacher rec.</p>
