MITES 2011 Information & Discussion

<p>does anyone have their entire supplemental application completed?</p>

<p>You mean complete on the mites website? </p>

<p>I dont.</p>

<p>i don’t either. nor do i have complete confidence that i’m gonna succeed on the essay i have in english tomorrow on the great gatsby. wish me luck? lol i’m going to bed. night everyone, and don’t worry about the application till the 28th cause they are still going through everything!</p>

<p>Supplemental?</p>

<p>EDIT: Oh…the completed app. Nope, still waiting on Report card and Math rec</p>

<p>I’m just freaking out. Maybe the math rec and report card got lost in the mail or a llama ate them!!! The oddest possibilities are popping in my head.</p>

<p>It’s the llama!!!</p>

<p>I have all my stuff completed, except the test scores, which they said they will extract from MIT admissions.
I’m all good! Now it’s just the wait…</p>

<p>im going to cry :frowning:
mine are all incomplete still</p>

<p>I have all mine completed, except for my math rec letter :(</p>

<p>@CPUscientist3000 That really sucks.</p>

<p>Somebody just shoot me already.</p>

<p>^
No! Then I won’t get to know you at MITES if we both get in. :/</p>

<p>True…
I REALLY need MITES.
I know everyone else here does too…
I never considered the “what if I hate comp. sci.” option that could happen in college. </p>

<p>I do have a life goal that majoring in CS would require, even if that means hating it. </p>

<p>I wanna go so bad I’m going to cry. Is it selfish to say that I wish only we knew about it???</p>

<p>GAH
HELP :O</p>

<p>So I just realized, when you check the status of your application… does it appear last name, then first name?

2011 MITES PROGRAM APPLICATION</p>

<p>(Last Name) (First Name)</p>

<p>Thank you for applying to the MITES program. We look forward to reading and reviewing your application. Be sure to print this confirmation sheet and include it with the additional materials needed to complete your application. ALL of the materials for your application must be postmarked by February 18, 2011.</p>

<p>That’s normal and the least of your worries^</p>

<p>I’m depressed. I won’t be on for a few days. Ciao.</p>

<p>Eesh. I look at the stats on this board and my heart kind of hurts.
I’m thinking about applying for this next year. What should I start doing? Research? Volunteer work? </p>

<p>If anyone could help me out here, either by replying or PMing me, that’d be great.</p>

<p>@Mascara
which stats are you talking about? Are you a sophomore?
If you want to apply, I suggest having a strong math/science background despite having had to overcome difficulties. Get involved in an engineering club like FIRST robotics.</p>

<p>ack! I only have one thing received… Looks like I’ll be calling MITES tomorrow…</p>

<p>They said dont call until after the 28. I only have one thing received as well.</p>

<p>@mystic1knight -
I have a 4.0 GPA (although I have yet to take an AP class), and I got an not-so-great 206 PSAT score. I’m in all the math/science clubs at my school: Robotics Club (FTC), Science Olympiad (C division), Math Team.</p>
