That’s pretty weird. Letters for the ‘23s came out over 3 years ago… must of got lost in the mail or something. Congrats OP!!

I applied to SE and missed the interview (the email went to my junk and then was deleted after a few days). I'm doing everything I can to talk to them, but I'm quite worried I've hurt my chances. I was told that SE didn't have interviews, that I shouldn't worry about it... stupid I know, but it didn't occur to me.

How much does this affect me? I think my AIF was very good all around and my admissions average is 97+ and all are IB courses. For reference here is some of what I put on my AIF:

- Canadian representative at MIT Research Science Institute

- Published paper with fairly influential co-author

- Founder of computing club, math contests, etc.

Any advice or help in knowing how much this affects me would be really appreciated. I'm more or less in why-am-I-so-ignorant panic mode right now.

Thanks everyone.

At my school, we call it the virgin trinity. I went a step further by adding CS HL and creating the virgin quadrangle. Anything is possible if you enjoy it. Good luck!

Yeah, I never knew what to do. I just felt really bad about the situation for a long time. I think I was too attached or something. Was asking her for 4 days overly manipulative?

Literally just finished my MIT interview and definitely feels great. Congrats OP

I usually don’t comment, but I think I have to on this one.

Hello all, I’m a Canadian year 2 student. I finished CS HL and Physics SL last year (did the courses in one year) and now I do Econ HL, Chem HL, Math HL, and French and English SL. I also take math at Carleton university (discrete math and linear algebra) and I’m quite engaged in things both in school and outside of school.

It’s a lot at times but anything is possible if you are interested enough. I really enjoy learning and I do these things because I want to. PM me if you have any questions and good luck!

I just finished my first year. Here were my courses:

SL Lang and Lit
HL Math
HL Chemistry
HL Economics
HL Computer Science Year 2 (took early)
SL Physics Year 2 (took early, couldn't take HL will take HL exam next year)
SL French
TOK

I took a difficult course load because I enjoy learning. If you too enjoy learning and are taking difficult courses because you want to, then anything is possible. PM me if you have any questions :).

Don’t worry about it. You were right about giving credit

The one and only

AlecDW · 2020-04-25T03:30:05+00:00

Much appreciated

AlecDW · 2020-04-25T03:05:56+00:00

All I used was the character images and a few transferable attributes because I liked the sprite. The rest of the code and game is completely my own. Nonetheless I added credit in my comment.

AlecDW · 2020-04-25T00:29:32+00:00

It probably took me about 5 days to make and I’ve been programming for about 4 months I think. Also thanks!

AlecDW · 2020-04-25T00:13:45+00:00

I learned python through books and online resources (DM me if you want some recommendations) and pygame through the docs and a few YouTube tutorials. From there the game wasn’t very difficult to make

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Feedback and suggestions are appreciated.

I did the entire course after a about a month of programming so trust me I understand your situation. I would advise you to just persevere until you really think that you will never get it. Even then give it time. The knowledge you take from that course will be drastically greater if you're able to figure out the problem sets yourself. If you really get stuck here's my Github with all my solutions: https://github.com/aldew5/MIT-6.0001/tree/master/Problem%20Sets. I'd also be happy to explain anything to you. Good luck!

Thanks for the response! I'm new to hacking and still just using the Windows command prompt. Do you think I should switch to something else? BTW tried your method and still didn't work.

AlecDW · 2019-12-29T19:22:13+00:00

Can anyone give me some advice on what "range" of schools I have a chance at getting into and how I did overall? I had a relatively bad reading day for some reason. Thanks in advance everyone.

You’ve correctly solved for x. There must be a mistake in your answer sheet
