<p>'tis jen! :p</p>
<p>lol yeah i know she told me like 2 seconds after i posted that.</p>
<p>yay for alice!</p>
<p>'tis ferry-ferry-poo.</p>
<p>ferry? Furry! (oh uh... I'm starting to accept this nickname...)</p>
<p>Well, "ferry" with the "fer" as in "jennifer." Otherwise it seems to come out of nowhere.</p>
<p>Maybe so, but it still came out of nowhere.</p>
<p>Hrm.</p>
<p>Since I've been offered an internship at MIT already this summer, I think I might do that instead of applying. That way, I can still study flying and stuff. </p>
<p>Yay for options!</p>
<p>Why don't you still look into the internship, apply to RSI, and if you get in, do RSI? Unless flying >>> RSI so much that you wouldn't even give up 6 weeks.</p>
<p>Good point. In fact, after talking to my mom, that is going to be my plan exactly.</p>
<p>Damn! How did you get an internship at MIT? Did you apply, or just talk w/ profs? Do you live in Cambridge MA?</p>
<p>I did it last summer also. I just emailed a professor and set something up. Granted, he kind of knows my dad, but I did it mostly on my own. I live an hour outsdide the city but my dad works at MIT so I get rides in with him.</p>
<p>Your dad works for MIT?</p>
<p>Yeah...I'm guessing most of us don't have that connection....</p>
<p>Yeah, but he's a coach.</p>
<p>:-P</p>
<p>Granted, he still has full benefits and I could go there free......</p>
<p>But STILL. He's no professor. Then again, he does know a whole bunch of professors...</p>
<p>Wow. I sound really dumb. I should stop posting.</p>
<p>Question: Kids of university professors get free tuition right? Do they get automatic acceptance too? It seems silly if they don't (but it would be dumb/unfair if they did), because they can say "Yeah I have a full ride to MIT, but I got rejected :(" lol idk.</p>
<p>Wait.... I emailed a post doc at MIT w/ my idea, and asked for some guidance. Obviously he didn't respond.</p>
<p>Should I be targeting profs, grad students, post-docs, who?!?</p>
<p>zogoto: on the boards there was a story of girl who was rejected from Yale, even though BOTH of her parents were professors there.</p>
<p>I was definitely puzzled by the rejection....</p>
<p>Anyone who has a parent with full benefits gets free tuition. That being said, acceptance is obviously not automatic. That'd be ridiculous. I have an incredibly high chance of being rejected just like everyone else.</p>
<p>I personally emailed a professor and spent my summer working with the Phd students that were working under him. He checked in on us, but I was essentially working with his students.</p>
