<p>Or is there one?</p>

<p>Just one? No, definitely not.</p>

<p>Check out what the MIT website says:</p>

<p>[MIT</a> Admissions: The Match Between You And MIT](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/topics/pulse/the_match_between_you_and_mit/index.shtml]MIT”>http://mitadmissions.org/topics/pulse/the_match_between_you_and_mit/index.shtml)</p>

<p>There are so many people that fit that profile. You have a passion for and change the world with virtually anything. There is no one interest that is the only interest that involves risk or creativity - that describes anything from playing basketball to flying planes. Collaboration is needed everywhere, from working on a scholastic project to putting together a play.</p>

<p>What you do is less important than how you do it, in some sense ^^</p>

<p>Certainly not someone like Howard Wolowitz.</p>

4

<p>no there is not</p>

<p>also, there is no such thing as “ideal” anything, in the strictest sense; the platonic theory of forms is a poor way to understand the universe. </p>

<p>/liberal arts chat</p>

<p>Though the Platonic theory of forms is something that has come up in discussion in one of my MIT interviews (a few years back now). So it’s not purely liberal arts chat, more chat in its wider form (grin).</p>

<p>The ideal MIT candidate is usually the following:</p>

<p>Alive
From Earth
An applicant
A Minecraft player (just kidding)
Older than 2 months old</p>

<p>I hope that helps you. If you are not one of those things, I would get working.</p>

<p>i love minecraft</p>

<p>Ugh, I’m only a month and a half old. Will great teacher recs and EC’s make up for it?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I concur… I wouldn’t mind having a Leonard or Rajesh around though.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry Michael. MIT is certainly willing to consider one and a half old applicants just so long as you have exhausted all of your educational options short of MIT when you apply.</p>

</p>

<p>My friends used to talk about it all the time before I got it. I kept telling them that I would not buy it because I needed to focus on applications. I finally got it and it is so much fun. Although, I am happy I waited.</p>

<p>Alright, good. My Mommy and Me teacher has taught me all that she can. What is MIT’s policy on crawling?</p>
