<p>Actually, see new thread. This one’s too jumbled.</p>
<p>I don’t see what’s so wrong about Liberal Arts majors. Not everyone is into math and sciences.
We’re not all the same and we don’t all have the same interests or passions in life.</p>
<p>Brb, forwarding all posts and relevant information to MIT selection committees along with a recommendation for a psychiatric evaulation for narcissistic personality disorder and delusions of grandeur.</p>
<p>Hey kid,
If this many STEM majors are coming to the defense of the liberal arts in the place of society, shouldn’t you take that as a hint that maybe we have some sort of experience in college and life in general that you have so obviously missed? You’re showing signs of antisocial personality disorder, which is always a no-no. You know why? Engineers have to collaborate; that is, YOU WILL NEED TO WORK WITH PEOPLE. Please don’t set yourself up for professional failure.</p>
<p>And quit being a twat.</p>
<p>You future Bill Gates’ can make all blu ray players you want, but that wouldn’t mean a thing without those Emma Watson’s.</p>
<p>^Bill Gates is Microsoft… Sony is blu Ray. Microsoft is just waiting for digital downloads to be the norm I believe.</p>
<p>Plus, a small small percentage of people can create what Bill Gates did</p>
<p>I pretty girl that can read lines is much MUCH more common.</p>
<p>Two words: Steve Jobs. ;)</p>

- Shoo-in*</p>
<p>2) My dad is an MIT graduate (undergraduate and Master’s) who was president of MIT’s DKE chapter and conducts applicant interviews; I had exhausted the math classes in my high school by the end of my sophomore year. I probably would not have been accepted to MIT. No one is a shoo-in, except for someone like the valedictorian from my year, who had completed Calc III, Linear Algebra, Combinatorics, and a number of other upper level math and physics courses by the end of the second semester senior year. He’s currently taking graduate level courses at Caltech his freshman year. However, my dad has written amazing evaluations for applicants with 2300+ SAT scores, 12+ APs, endless lists of ECS, etc. and most of them have been denied, simply because MIT has a <10% acceptance rate with ~11,000 applicants. With your rhetorical skills, I certainly wouldn’t consider you a shoo-in, but whatever makes you sleep at night.</p>
<p>Woody, chill bro. If I were to get technical too, then I’d go Grammar Nazi.</p>
<p>And obviously not, since actors make much more than an enginerd.</p>
<p>Bitter CS majors + ■■■■■ = Great Thread</p>
<p>I’m not a CS major, most CS majors are just lib arts minded people who thought they were getting into game design or something, their classes don’t have half the work of most engineering. Mechanical might be an exception because i think it’s the easiest and petroleum too.</p>
<p>I was referring to the tags brah.
Petroleum is down the crapper.<br>
Mechanical is not as easy. I’d like to see you make some toasters. </p>
<p>Why would CS = engineering? Last time I checked the official MIT sport, a.k.a. Starcraft II (yes, confirmed by MITChris), required CS majors. </p>
<p>It’ll be ironic the day you work as an engineer for a company with a CEO who majored in philosophy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can’t even spell “shoe” and you think you’re a guaranteed MIT admit?</p>
<p>So when you say people told you you were a “shue-in,” you were actually referring to your mom.</p>
<p>MIT: Diamond + Ranked Starcraft II players only.</p>
<p>The only thing I could see making CS (not engineering by the way, there is Electrical Engineering and then there’s Computer Engineering) easier is that in the “Design, Build, Test” process. The whole thing can be done on your laptop, the test is faster, and it’s easier to modify your design.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I hope you’re joking. And I wasn’t talking about engineers, I was talking about Bill Gates. You basically said Bill Gates is of equal importance to Emma Watson.</p>
<p>… I think I am chill</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To be fair, you can’t either. lol</p>
<p>Actually, there’s a debate on whether the term is “shoo-in” or “shoe-in.” However, “shue” isn’t a valid spelling either way. :p</p>
<p>All I can say is “over-generalization much?”</p>
<p>You know what this sounds like? Prejudice and discrimination… HISTORY!! Think about what slave owners were thinking when they cruelly sent slaves to do near fatal work. “Slaves are lazy, stupid, and worthless so we should enslave them!”
Think about what Hitler was thinking when he ordered the killing of 11+ million people. “Jews, Homosexuals, etc are weak, stupid, worthless, and not even worth being called HUMAN. We should kill them all.”</p>
<p>I know that these are extreme cases, but you are saying that we should eradicate all liberal arts majors because they are worthless and only meant for worthless people.</p>
<p>I’m still waiting to hear about how a society can function without philosophy.</p>
<p>And didn’t some kid build a nuclear reactor and not get into MIT? Or is that a myth? I could have sworn an MIT admissions person said it…</p>
<p>BillyMC, if I was an adcom, I’d be scared to admit a kid who could blow up my campus.</p>
<p>aStyle, prejudice and discrimination is what college, particularly admissions, is all about. </p>
<p>Woody, who needs Bill Gates when you have Emma Watson? No brainer bro.</p>
<p>in my personal company yes, Emma wins all the time…</p>
<p>(funny story. I have a buddy that goes to Brown. Whenever all of my HS buddies meet up and hang out we always rag on him about Emma and ask him when we get to meet her. Basically if you go to Brown you are her best friend and can hook up others with her, and everyone knows every moment of her day.)</p>
