<p>Are you joking? So out of like ~100 MOSTCers 17 of them THAT YOU KNOW OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD got into MIT</p>
<p>That is mindblowingly crazy</p>
<p>@FancyVase </p>
<p>Wait, so do you have actual stats of all the MOSTECers or are those just the ones you know off the top of your head?</p>
<p>A good question would be how many MOSTECers got denied to MIT</p>
<p>How many supplemental recs can you submit to MIT?</p>
<p>@SineSquareSaw We have a doc on the MOSTEC facebook group with a list of people who got in (17), but there’s also 2 who didn’t add their names and possibly more that I don’t know of.</p>
<p>btw, I LOVE PUSHEEN!! :D</p>
<p>@FancyVase </p>
<p>Ohhh, could you share the whole list :O</p>
<p>BTW, I just need to remind you that you are awesome</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard <a href=“Letters of recommendation | MIT Admissions”>http://mitadmissions.org/apply/freshman/recommendations</a> I don’t think there’s a limit</p>
<p>@FancyVase how
Many people were in your mostec class last year??</p>
<p>@Skye3197 I think there were 91 of us.</p>
<p>@FancyVase If there’s a significant time difference (>8 hours EST), do you think there could be accommodations made for time-specific projects such as webinars?</p>
<p>@ilikechocolate15 You would have to talk to the MOSTEC coordinators about that, but most (if not all) of the webinars were recorded after the stream, so you could watch the recordings. </p>
<p>@FancyVase I’m curious to know what the MOSTEC conference was like if you don’t mind sharing</p>
<p>@bolkevlp Sure thing.</p>
<p>The conference was super fun and pretty hectic as there was so much stuff to do. I flew in Tuesday morning , settled in, toured MIT with a couple of friends, and then went on an “official” tour with one of the coordinators and most of the other MOSTECers. After that we had a pretty interesting life mastery class, a welcome dinner with a speaker from Google Cambridge (most official meals had a STEM-related guest speaker). Then we had orientation and other getting-to-know-you activities, as well as a cluster meeting.</p>
<p>Then Wednesday we had two workshops (you could pick two out of four or five). I chose the Computer Science (at Google Cambridge) and Electronics workshops. Both were awesome (I won’t say what we did because spoilers) and I heard the other workshops were also great. Those took most of the day, but we also had a science writing workshop, and we went bowling in Boston. </p>
<p>On Thursday we had course-specific projects and presentations. The neuro ones were all interesting and I gave a presentation on brain-computer interfaces. We also worked on preparing a group presentation of the whole course for the next day and had a movie night.</p>
<p>Friday we gave our presentation for neuroscience and also saw the presentations by other courses. There were also two great keynotes from an MIT professor of finance and an MIT undergrad and master’s alumnus. Then we went to a college admissions fair, which was pretty cool since they had some of the top universities (MIT, Harvard, Columbia, etc.) for only 91 of us. Then we had a dance party and after that we stayed up all night watching movies, talking, and playing games at the dorm. Then Saturday I flew back home.</p>
<p>There’s a LOT of other things that I did that I didn’t include (i.e. tours of some MIT dorms), but the conference was definitely one of the best parts of MOSTEC. Other courses did different things, and this year’s schedule will probably be packed with even more stuff to do. For me, the main part was that I got to meet all of the people that I had been talking to online for three weeks, and that was pretty awesome.</p>
<p>@FancyVase thanks for all the info! it all sounds great!</p>
<p>@Fancyvase after the conference, what kind of works we have to do?
We will be bush during school…</p>
<p>@Newheavn97 The workload after the conference is minimal, so you don’t really have to worry about it interfering with school. There’s some optional readings and whatnot that you can work on if you’re looking for more, though.</p>
<p>@FancyVase Thank you for all the info. And Congratulations for accepting MIT!
Just one more question,
After the conference, do we still have activities require to log on at certain times? </p>
<p>@FancyVase </p>
<p>How hard would you say the first part is? I am a bit worried about presenting something that may be mediocre at MIT</p>
<p>@Newheavn97 Yeah, webinars and chats (although the times are reasonable and you may be excused from these if necessary - BUT they’re worth it.)</p>
<p>@SineSquareSaw Not too hard. If you got into the program then that means the OEOP thinks you’ll do fine. A good work ethic doesn’t hurt, though.</p>
<p>I have a question. I accepted my MITES inviation, but I have the ACT that following Saturday, show I just scheduled the next ACT session, in September, or should I find and ACT testing site in Boston instead? </p>
