<p>So way back last year, Bryan wrote this [url=<a href="http://nance.mitblogs.com/archives/2005/10/ive_got_99_prob.html%5Dpost%5B/url">http://nance.mitblogs.com/archives/2005/10/ive_got_99_prob.html]post[/url</a>] sharing 52 THINGS NOT TO DO IF YOU WANT TO BE ADMITTED TO MIT. I enjoyed it a lot, and i felt obligated to share to MIT'11 hopefuls!</p>
<p>=D</p>
<p>EDIT: I think I like #10 the most:</p>
<p>There is no reason to use the word "nipple" anywhere on your application.</p>
<p>But what if that hack back in the 70s is what inspired you to apply to MIT???!!!</p>
<p>Don't quote The Fountainhead, he says? Well, I didn't quote anything or anyone but myself, but if I had, I certainly would have chosen the Fountainhead! And Holden Caufield is awesome. I'm wounded. And Halo shows tenacity and problem-solving skill, as do many video games! Then again, I'd probably try to argue my way out of a wet paper bag... but I maintain that gamers are the salt of the earth. ;)</p>
<p>Woah, I just showed that to my friends last night. I was going to repost it here, but I guess you beat me to it, getalife1234! I love that list though. Absolutely hilarious :)</p>
<p>haha yeah, it should be included with the actual app. ;P</p>
<p>haha karen, ur a video game fan? ;P </p>
<p>p.s. i bought the biggest laptop (10+lbs) jus to be able to play all games haha</p>
<p>I've been known to dabble... ;)</p>
<p>My laptop's 10+ lbs too... cuz it's old and too damn functional to justify replacing! I thought it had finally bitten the dust when I had to take apart the heat sink to try to fix it and I bent a prong on the microprocessor... but nope, I bent it back, and the thing works better than ever. Awesome specs in heavy, not-cool-looking form... <em>sigh</em> Such is life.</p>

<p>Or you could say they don't contribute anything to society and have a worthless hobby :)</p>
<p>jk, I'm more of an SNES man myself...</p>
<p>When you explain to me what middle school Home Ec teachers contribute to society, then we'll talk about the gamers.</p>
<p>And there is a little part of my heart shaped just right for an SNES to fit. </p>

<p>"Remember, we'll read everything that you send us. Don't abuse this. If I read a letter from your milkman saying that you like strawberry yogurt, I'm gonna be ****ed."</p>
<p>well said! i'll remember this list when I'm applying.</p>
<p>wow, last time i saw the insides of a computer was when i bashed them with a hedgehammer at caltech. haha (if ben golub is reading : it was exhilarating! =])</p>
<p>i only love games with good graphics. ;P</p>

<p>According to my 7th grade cooking teacher, you can make hor duerves out of barbeque sauce, ketchup and sliced up hot dogs.</p>
<p>I rue the day my middle school GC asked "anyone wanna change their schedules?" and I sat silent.</p>
<p>lol i love how the list says "don't listen to what you hear on college confidential"</p>
