Rythmic Gymnastics but not anything remarkable there either.



National champion in rhythmic gymnastics. National merit finalist. I’d say she was remarkable.


I meant to type nothing else remarkable.

It was actually a compliment.

You don't have to have your mom create a foundation and pretend you did it.

They (MIT) just want smart kids. Some schools are like that. MIT is known for not taking hooked kids.


By hooked, if you mean "LEGACY", you are correct.


I mean legacy, athletes, great oboe players.

MIT wants kids with good scores. Period.

Every school has a different mission. I don't fault some schools for only caring about scores nor do I fault schools that want good sports programs.

To each his/her own.

MIT grad here with 2 degrees and near perfect GPA. Boring show. Lots of homework and studying. Multiple all nighters. Drugs on weekends and some booze to let off steam.

Pretty much what I expected. Your awards need the word ‘national’ in them. Your academics need to be accelerated. Your grades and test scores need to reflect near perfection. And your background needs to reflect diverse interests.

Nothing shocking.
