<p>i qualified for the AIME
but idk where to write that</p>
<p>yea donno where to write half that stuff</p>
<p>hi ppl
especially xtntmx
were ur responses really sciencey?</p>
<p>not really sciency, but they all kind of relate some how to the program
what about you?</p>
<p>no...fun activity = piano</p>
<p>darn =)</p>
<p>was gonna put "i do math for fun" but didn't kno how much icould write about that..</p>
<p>well, music and math are kind of related
i still think it's good
i don't think writing about math is a good idea, because i'm sure half the people applying do math for fun</p>
<p>how long were your responses?
mine are all just under a page, do you think that's bad?</p>
<p>mine were about a page double spaced, so it's good</p>
<p>oh alright, i was kinda worried mine were too long and not concise enough</p>
<p>wow i doubt i'l get in my essays are horrible <em>blah</em></p>
<p>I can't seem to get a recommendation from my math teacher (he now teaches at a different school).</p>
<p>So there might be no WTP for me....I guess I'll have to just be perserverant.</p>
<p>how about a math team teacher?</p>
<p>The problem is, I'm not on a math team.</p>
<p>gah! Also, my freshman year math teacher is completely unreachable/I hated her class.</p>
<p>arwen15: Thanks for the clarification. I didn't link WTP rejection/overqualification to MIT EA at all. I don't think anything will stop me from applying to MIT! I'll still take a shot a WTP though.</p>
<p>I'm not going to lie on my app about robotics, since it is my main EC, occupying most of my time (especially now). I've only dabbled in a few other tech areas like web programming, a few programming languages, and networking, but nothing too serious to consider myself overqualified. There may be hope?</p>
<p>oh, yeah i had a problem getting a rec from a math teacher too
luckily, my math circle teacher offered
can you ask your teacher from this year?</p>
<p>^ oh definitely, my math teacher knows more about me than i had thought she would since i've only had her for 1 year</p>
<p>I don't feel like any of my teachers know me that well, except maybe my APUSH teacher
I had my physics teacher from this year write my letter, which im kinda worries about since idk if i "express curiosity, interest, or excitement" about physics in that class, especially since it's first thing in the morning :-P
but i get good grades so i'm sure he'll say im a good student
how do you guys feel about your recs?</p>
<p>my math teacher uses my name in all his word problems is that weird</p>
<p>hahaha that's kinda sketchy
math problems usually have somewhat unconventional names in them, I don't know why that is
I don't think I've ever seen a math problem with my name in it (Liz)
but they have a lot of random names
and then some are like, Al Bob and Carl</p>
<p>lol but he always uses ppls names, and u kno cuz nobody has some of the names (olympia)</p>
<p>my name is pretty common tho (jen)</p>
<p>oh
yeah! i just remembered, i had this math teacher who used to make up problems and put all the kids in our class' names in it (it was a 3 person class though)</p>
