[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I ask OP how their kid got into MIT and UMD with BK? What was the hook? [/quote] OP here. If only we knew what worked — your guess is as good as mine! But I can provide some stats, ECs… SAT = 1600, GPA 4.0, 10 APs, Community service (Not done as a box to check, but out of genuine desire to help other during the pandemic), usual CS activities like robotics with some awards, small Math award, some quirkiness that I don’t want to detail that might have appealed to MIT, lots of music related essays throughout MIT application although actual music experience was not mentioned. For BK, genuine desire to work in DC - as never thought HYPSM would come through. Additionally, one recommender happened to tell kid recently that they were best of career, and counselor has called kid a rockstar for leadership — not sure if those went into LORs. Third recommender asked kid if they could write kid LOR.[/quote]
