<p>I have mailed MIT two of my research papers. One is in biomedicine and one is in Mathematics. I am interested in biomechanical engineering.</p>
<p>The bio one is actually accepted for publishing in an international journal and I worked on it in MD Anderson (#1 Cancer center in the US)</p>
<p>The other one is totally independent research. I found some flaws in the cartesian system and differential equations and devised a whole new chapter for mathematics (theory of vector curvatures). I designed a whole new plane which looks at each curve uniquely by transforming complicated curves into their equivalents.</p>
<p>Along with these, I have done a lot of research in physics and am working on a paper right now.</p>
<p>Do you think these will help my application by showing them how interested I am in math and science? I also have perfect SATII scores in math II and physics and perfect grades in AP Physics, IB higher level Math, AP Calc BC. etc. 4.0 unweighted GPA. I have only been i the US for 2.5 yrs. I came from in India; I did my 9th grade there and won a lot of national awards in 9th for math and science. My class rank was messed up a little because of the discrepancy of grades between here and India, but I still am in the top 5% of my class.
I got a recommendation from my research mentor (the Bio one).
My interview was really good. She seemed really impressed.</p>
<p>I really really want to get into MIT. I am an international applicant. Does MIT actually evaluate those papers I send in? Because I wish they really read my Math one, since I put a lot of effort into it (and it is something profound, in my opinion at least). Do you think I have a chance?</p>
<p>I have no idea so all I can say is that both papers sound really amazing to me and I would hope they would take at least a look at the abstract.</p>
<p>don't swap with phi6. No one should ever send anything even if its after a deadline because then he can make a forceful argument that you plagiarized. According to the MIT blogs... it will help. But then again it's like 14 or 15 indians a year make it into MIT. If you invented a better system than cartesian, and it's not been done before I'd like to say that you definitely have a chance. Go through the regular decision thread of 2012 if u want (and have an hour) to see how other people have made it in.</p>
<p>wow, that sounds really interesting. achhabra, have you ever posted this on ArXiv before? i'd love to read it. math's my thing too. XD</p>
<p>but a word of advice (though this might be kinda late): don't sound arrogant in your writing. if you have amazing talent but can still be humble about it, it goes a long way.</p>
<p>thanks guys. but I don't think getting in is going to be easy (at all!)</p>
<p>especially because I'm an international applicant (only 19 Indians get in each year) <em>sighhhh</em></p>
<p>but it's ok, i'll still try my best</p>
<p>and yes, i was humble about everything. i got it double-checked by my friends, and they all said it flowed well and sounded great (not cocky at all).</p>
<p>and sorry, not going to post right now (don't want to be accused of plagiarism). I will post it if it gets published or something else.</p>
<p>yea i was worrying about the plagiarism thing too. but arXiv has ur name and everything and its for the most part professional.</p>
<p>but nevertheless i guess dont post it until like after decisions come out to be safe. ugh, but wanna tell us a little more about ur math research...wow, a new coordinate system.</p>
<p>Your English is extremely good - I wouldn't even know that you were international if you didn't state so. Do you go to an English-medium school or an International school or something? You sound just like any one of my friends, lol.</p>
<p>Most of the schools in India are English-medium now, haha. No, I did not go to an international school.</p>
<p>By the way, I am in Texas right now. When I came from India, my English was ok (a bad accent, some minor drawbacks in writing). Now, it's a lot better in terms of fluency and all.</p>
