<p>I don't know if any of you guys use reddit, but I have one of the top posts of all time on their "math" board. The post is a step-by-step explanation of how I derived the law of cosines on my trig final. </p>
<p>Should I send a link with my application? It was a really popular post</p>
<p>sure, why not</p>
<p>I wouldnt send it. I dont think that they will open a link and read the post. Even if they did, its not too impressive. Many kids know how to derive countless formulas</p>
<p>MITChris is an MIT Admissions officer. I’d listen to the MIT Admissions officer.</p>
<p>^did not see that. Scratch what i said. Listen to the MIT admission officer.</p>
<p>Part of it is the discussion it prompted and the 15,000 views it got 
I don’t think derivations alone are hugely impressive</p>
