<p>This is pretty simple:</p>

<p>Yesterday I gave a few presentations at the Aquaculture America 2011 conference in New Orleans, without a doubt the youngest person to present (possibly ever) at that meeting. I had mentioned this numerous times on my application and midyear report.</p>

<p>Long story short, I absolutely killed it (in a good way). My research mentor told me today that several PhDs came up to her to congratulate her on how her proteges did, pointing out my presentation as particularly superb, and also expressed disbelief that I could be in high school. This presentation showcased my sense of humor, eloquence, and academic strength in a big way, and I couldn't be happier with it.
However, I also learned my mentor had taken a video of the presentation and emailed it to me. </p>

<p>Should I submit the video to MIT? Will it be too late?
PLEASE respond with opinions and thoughts, guys!</p>

<p>At this point it’s more than likely too late to submit any material.</p>

<p>You could always send it in if you get wait-listed (hopefully you won’t need it)</p>

<p>send it! it could never hurt!</p>

<p>Tbh I would save it in case you’re waitlisted. Really, it’s too late.</p>

<p>Congrats, by the way, that sounds awesome.</p>

<p>I would say hold it until the decision comes out. If you are on waitlist, this update would be helpful. If you send it out now, it may not have time for them to change the decision, the worst case is that your update is kept somewhere in your file no one even notice. You wouldn’t send it again since you did it already.</p>
