<p>As cheesy as it sounds, my passion truly is Math. I love the way it takes very complicated situations and puts them it into such eloquent mathematical statements. I truly enjoy solving problems and studying new topics as much as going to the movies or anything else. Along with that I have a deep interest in Physics as well. I've spent 6 to 8 hours on very - to me- difficult problems, simply for the thrill and feeling of achomplishment I get when I get to the end of a problem. I'll often google for ones or make up my own. Once I wanted to write an equation to describe a certain situation and my proff. said that he tried to do it a while back but gave up because the math was to messy for him, and he told me to give him a copy of my solution if I finished it. When I finally got a point where I knew I could finish the problem I can't even describe how achomplished I felt, I know its lame, but I love it.</p>
<p>But I know if I said my passion was 'math,' on my essay adcoms would instantly think I was trying to suck up in a sense. </p>
<p>What should I do if given this topc when MIT releases their 2012 trasnfer application forms? Should I just pretend I have a different passion and write about it? I feel like they would instantly be able to tell that I wasn't talking about a real passion of mine. What should I do?</p>
<p>All responses are appreciated.</p>
<p>P.S. One of my math professors told me to let him know before I started applying so he could write me a letter of recommendation, and he know's that I have a passion for math. If he mentioned that in his LoR then would the adcoms be more willing to listen about my passion for math? (He said I was one of the best students he's ever taught)</p>
