So, I didn’t tell many people, but I applied to get into MIT. The results came out today at 1:59 pm (the math nerds, or very observant people willl get the humour in this)…
and as the title suggests, I was rejected. 
I guess it was the combination of a few things:
1. being an international applicant, which pretty much cuts your chances in half on the get go.
2. My SAT writing score, which was not in the 700s, and probably as a result, not very competitive.
3. My lack of international recognition in olympiads, science fair or robotics competition.
4. My last minute approach in studying for SATs and a very rushed application.
So, am I bitter, or disappointed? Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at all. I a bit disappointed, I’ll say, but not surprised or very emotional about it.
So to those who did get in, have a blast. To those waitlisted, good luck to you. And to those in the same boat as me, feel free to discuss their experience in this roller coaster ride of applying to MIT. No rude remarks please.
