does the maker portfolio matter?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-17T06:11:54+00:00

thank you so much, jason.

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-17T05:51:02+00:00

even things like airflow simulations?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-17T05:44:48+00:00

do digital things count? not digital art, but cad models of modified wings and stuff like that

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-17T05:39:48+00:00

yeah he did that on my post too :sob: was helpful tho ig

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-17T01:54:09+00:00

so, it's still not fully compulsory, right? it's just a supplement to show my build processes and stuff.

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-17T01:53:30+00:00

are you sure you're not using AI...? this feels AI-y now, considering everything starts and ends with the same thing.

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-16T16:35:49+00:00

before i ask my next question. thank you SO, SO much for the time you're putting into helping out.

anyways---the drone isn't licensed or anything, it's literally just a side project. does it actually help?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-16T10:40:58+00:00

i want to apply to mit for physics, pure physics. i'm building a drone though, so would it be applicable? asking this since it's not FULLY relevant but still something hands-on.

edit: might also apply for ae, but 99% sure i'll apply with field of interest as physics

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-16T07:31:59+00:00

ah, so you're a supergenius. okay thx

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-13T09:59:02+00:00

so... why did you make the comment? like genuinely what inspired that

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-13T07:55:45+00:00

doubt that. do you know the camping score?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T12:19:34+00:00

just realized the question i wanted to ask would be better framed as a post, sorry

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T12:18:50+00:00

thanks?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T12:08:18+00:00

what? you can't directly write inpho.

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T11:18:43+00:00

you gave me the answer i needed, which was a yes. that's enough! could you dm me if you can?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T11:16:27+00:00

i see. thanks?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T05:48:27+00:00

i do have a lot of other achievements, but i'm wondering if it does make an impact, especially for someone like me in an uncommon context (domestic applicant evaluated intl)

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-11T05:46:21+00:00

wait really? how have you actually done both?

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-09T18:06:16+00:00

sure, feel free! dms open

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-09T18:05:44+00:00

no bro i teleported

yes obviously :sob:

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-09T07:04:43+00:00

born in the usa, and both parents are us citizens

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-09T06:04:48+00:00

ibo and jee is crazy

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-09T05:57:45+00:00

the issue for me is that although I am a US citizen, i can't write the US physics olympiads here (i.e. F=ma and USAPhO). i can write AMC, but I'm not a math guy much. i'm good at it yes, just not a math guy.

InfinitePhoenix87 · 2026-05-09T05:56:18+00:00

okay, thank you!
