Not focused in science/math enough?

<p>I'm sorry if this is a redundant post, but I couldnt find anything relating to this subject with the search function =b</p>

<p>well, i am really passionate about pursuing architecture, so my MIT app revolved around an architecture camp and my art.</p>

<p>when i was reading over my app today, i realized that I did not reference any science/math activities at all! For the top 5 extracurrics, i talked aobut chinese culture, art, martial arts, my leadership in a volunteer club, and my leadership in a the japanese honor society... I also do not have any math/science awards...</p>

<p>i mean im in love with chemistry and i have taken all honors/AP math and science classes but I could not fit that into my app at all..</p>

<p>i know there is no definitive answer but i want to see if the general consensus is that MIT will only consider those who convey intense passion for science/math through their app (ie: mu alpha theta, intel, siemens, etc.)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm in the same position as you. arh! help! I didn't submit my app yet but i wanna go to MIT for the Media Arts program like visual arts stuff. but for my fifth extracurricular i was debating putting mu alpha theta president or that i teach guitar at the brooklyn academy of music. I decided to go with the latter; honestly that means more to me than mu alpha theta. I dunno what to do though.</p>

<p>why talk about something when it is obvious with your transcript. don't worry....</p>

<p>yea... don't worry... As long as you showed passion for something (in your case architecture), you'll be fine</p>

<p>... I think I remember reading your essay (something about long drives with your parents???, if I remember correctly) - it really did convey your passion</p>
