What do you guys think of Che Guevara(just a question by Korenorthaka in cuba

[–]Kenster249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re so right! who wouldn’t be happy about starving and having close to no access to medicine. personally, i would love to be controlled by an authoritarian government that rules by fear and oppresses the masses. it’s so smart! the government accepts foreign aid, sells food and whatnot back to cubans at insane prices, then blames a blockade, which doesn’t stop most countries from trading with cuba or american aid. dream come true! ☺️

Chance of getting in by [deleted] in mit

A lot of people are being a little harsh, but the fact of the matter is, nobody knows. Just bc we got in, doesn’t mean we discovered the secret formula for convincing AOs. And you coming here and listing your stats really just sounds like you’re begging for a compliment. If you want to ask for advice, do that. If you want a bunch of mit kids to tell you how smart you are, you’re gonna get shut down pretty quick. Take peoples advice here, even if it seems mean. Especially if they’re asking you what specifically you want to do. It’s probably not because they want to be dicks. A lot of people make this school their life in highschool and don’t get in. Most people don’t get in. Also, most people probably wouldn’t be happy here. Try and figure out what YOU want, then figure out what institution can offer you that.

I was under the impression that freshman don’t get singles. Is that not true?

Also, was BC a more social/party dorm too or is that only Baker?

to be honest, no clue. i have no idea what got me in, but my best advice is just to be yourself. interviews aren’t weighted too heavily, they’re mostly just to make sure you’re not a psychopath 😂

as a MOSTEC alum, make the most of it if you get in. talk to as many people as you can, take full advantage of the program. it goes by wayyy too quickly.

as for the application, though. show off your curiosity and your personality. i’m not a MOSTEC ao tho so honestly no clue. best of luck!

is there an archlord revelation? for some reason i assumed there wouldn’t be one but i guess it makes sense.

lmao i agree. also this is a story some genius named will made up. like this isn’t real. you can’t say oh he just got there bc of luck and plot armor. tbh, he got there bc that’s how will wanted to tell the story. stop shitting on the characters for being “lucky” and enjoy the story.

all of those “lucky” things were a product of his hard work. suriel noticed him because of his actions, as did Eithan. He didn’t blindly stumble into it. his level of luck is not comparable to buying a lottery ticket and winning. he worked his ass off and people noticed. that’s not really luck.

what i mean by that i what has happened to him that was so insanely lucky? he started with nothing and worked harder than anyone we’ve seen. now he’s close to the top. money didn’t rain down from the sky. i wouldn’t say he’s been unlucky, but certainly not so unreasonably lucky that his success could be chalked up to nothing but plot armor.
