<p>Essay A or B?</p>
<p>B, of course :)</p>
<p>B, of course! I cannot fabricate anything for A :D</p>
<p>Btw, does anyone intend to do Question 13?</p>
<p>I think A is easier, if, of course, something really happened to you.</p>
<p>A, thou I wrote it for B and people told me it sounded more like an answer to A</p>
<p>B because I've had an interesting life :)</p>
<p>I was gonna do B, but I just couldn't write it... I must have sat down at my computer at least 5 nights in a row with no results. I ended up doing A (surprise!)</p>
<p>Think they're trying to tell us something? Write an essay about a time in which you were disappointed...</p>
<p>I am nervous.</p>
<p>A :) (agh adding random stuff because of the limit...)</p>
<p>Here's my opinion on why that asked that essay question. Marilee Jones says in a recent Newsweek article, MIT is looking for emotionally resilient kids, who won't "crumble the first time they do poorly on a test." They want to know how you handle failure and disappointment.</p>

<p>Oh, yeah. Because when you take a valedictorian and top-notch student, and put him in with every other brilliant student, there's some adjustment, gradewise, and socially. The heirarchy needs to be redefined. Trust me, we just got around 5-7 new, really, really, smart people at my highschool, and the dynamics around them are really funky, and change according to relative smartness within the school. A bit scary. I'm expecting to be on the bottom of the heap, at MIT, but how do you tell the admissions office that? :)</p>
