<p>Subjective:
Essays: Pretty good
Teacher Recs: both good but typical I guess
Counselor Rec: No idea
Interview: I think I floored the alum
Hook (if any): NSLC? Not too sure
Personal:
Location (State or Country): IL
Ethnicity & Gender: Filipino
Major strength/weakness: math and science obviously? EC were solid
Your thoughts on your decision: I thought I wasn’t going to get in based on my SAT- 1310 720 math and 590 verbal
Any other comments: I believe that one essay we all filled out now that admission to MIT is not based on test scores alone…..</p>

<p>good luck and dont let anything keep you from applying</p>
