Should I bother? And do devastating good looks help your chances?

<p>@jellybeaneatr - nice move. we don’t accept those sort of letters without notarization.</p>

<p>ohhh it’s a shame how many kids might actually freaking out about this now.
i guess it’s a risk you all are willing to take in the name of dry humor.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.</p>

<p>Sorry, someone had to.</p>

<p>i’m coming out with my magnum look later this year too. possible hook?</p>

<p>What is this? A center for ants??</p>

<p>I think I am getting the black lung!</p>

<p>^^^ Uh-oh! You better imbibe an orange frappucino stat! That’ll clear it up.</p>

<p>And yes, good looks can get you into MIT. Sweet justice.</p>

<p>it’s entirely possible to do an html injection hack on my.mit.edu to add a picture of you. Just saying…</p>

<p>@MITChris,</p>

<p>the building has to be at least… three times bigger than this!</p>

<p>On Friday night I interviewed a candidate for MIT, and the first thing that I thought of when I saw this young man was “My gosh, he could be a model.” I have interviewed folks who have published research (as this candidate had), and I have interviewed candidates who are sports figures in their school (as this candidate was), and I have indicated students who had won awards in the arts (as this one did), but to have all of that and devastatingly good lucks. Sigh… It makes you cry.</p>

<p>(That last part is facetious, but this is a true tale).</p>

<p>“really ridiculously attractive”
hahahaha that made me smile :slight_smile:
good luck with your dreams!</p>

<p>I forgot to mention my ridiculously good looks in my application, but my interviewer most likely wrote about it after he saw me. That’s what the interview’s for, right?</p>
