<p>Is this program worth applying to? I just found out about it, so I would have to like speed through the application and bug my teachers to do recs realllll quick. It says its for minorities, so do I, as an Indian (South Asian) male, count? Thanks for the input!!</p>
<p>Btw, do you think if I applied so quickly that I could get in?? Mostly, my stats are:</p>
<p>Siemens Westinghouse Regional Finalist (this year)
105.5 AMC 12B 2004
2 AIME 2004
Math. Struct. and Number Theory at university</p>
<p>Yup, those are the big things. There are many essays, and so they probably wouldn't be good since I have a major project also due on Friday which I will spend a lot of time on, and I'm applying to SHARP and perhaps Garcia. But should I still apply??? Is this program like the other ones (RSI, SHARP, Garcia, etc.) in competitiveness and how good the experience is????</p>
<p>It says they look for these qualifications:</p>
<p>the individual would be the first in the family to attend college; </p>
<p>there is an absence in the individual's family of science and engineering backgrounds; </p>
<p>the individual's high school has historically sent less than 50% of its graduates to 4-year colleges; </p>
<p>the applicant attends a school that presents challenges for success at an urban elite university (e.g., rural or predominantly minority); and/or </p>
<p>the individual is a member of a group that is under-represented in the study and fields of science and engineering (African American, Latino or Native American).</p>
<p>I am none of these, but should I still apply?</p>
<p>from a moral standpoint, i don't think u should apply for MITE2S. it's really an outreach program for minorities who really wanna get interested in science and engineering. it would probably be more beneficial to u if u went to a program like rsi/sharp/clark/ or something else. u probably wouldn't feel at home at MITE2S too.</p>
<p>If he's interested in the program, he should apply. There's nothing morally wrong with his applying for the program unless he were to lie on his application. From how the program describes itself, his chances would be slim since he's not in the categories of people whom the program is set up to assist. However, he has nothing to lose except his time and energy by applying.</p>
