I got into MIT with 3 years and no physics[/quote]

How old are you? Your anecdata is only relevant if you started college within the last ten years and, more specifically, the last five.[/quote]

I'm glad that there are so many people that are clueless about what it takes to get to a top school. Literally on the E3 admissions card for MIT there is no box for took 4 years of science. In order to make it to the table for review you have to be in the top 25% of the SAT scores and GPA. Then you have to impress them with your file. In my case, I had numerous local, state and national awards- gasp - not in science.

I also had a friend that got into Stanford and he didn't take the most rigorous courses at our school but had 4.0 and 1600 SAT score. [/quote]

Sh*t happens. What can we say? But it doesn't happen to everyone because most folks applying don't have "numerous local, state and national awards- gasp - not science." (I kept your typo and lack of Oxford comma [still use it cuz it's not like we are typesetting this stuff by hand]).

If a candidate has something truly compelling then it might happen, but the reality is what is compelling about most applicants is that they have simply cranked and cranked for years. That's it. [/quote]

^^ LOL, I ended up not keeping your hyphen typo as too many years as a copy editing just overrode it. [/quote]

cool story bro[/quote]
