<p>The prompt is basically the same as one of MIT’s apps</p>
<p>“describe an experience you have had, a person who has influenced you, or an obstacle you have overcome. Explain why this is meaningful to you.”</p>
<p>is cali’s cutoff 219 or 218 b/c the official psat cutoff thread for the class of 2010 says its 218? i’m worried too b/c i got a 218.</p>
<p>Urh, I hate generic essay topics. maybe i can recycle it later for college apps… can someone tell me when those forms are due?</p>
<p>the due date is the day of the PSAT in october. </p>
<p>Yea I wouldn’t be surprised if it is 218 in CA… :/</p>
<p>do you know anyone who got a 218?</p>
<p>Here’s some mom advice–type your honors and awards and extra-curriculars, cut them out and paste them on. It looks much nicer and you can fit just a little more on the forms.</p>
<p>It seems as though the essay could be around 500 words and that can be typed then lay it out to fit the space. Cut it out and paste it too.</p>
<p>The application is on like a card-stock paper and it is twice the size of a regular piece of paper, so it is not possible to print out the application.</p>
<p>Best wishes everyone.</p>
