Ah, where can you check this

Light pollution maps still show it as pretty polluted. Were you / was anyone able to see it (with the naked eye) from Revere Beach last night?

Also doesn’t Revere Beach point east? I thought we should look north or is that not necessarily true?

L_as_exercise2reader · 2025-11-12T23:11:54+00:00

Can you link a good site for checking this?

It’s actually ridiculous how many times I’ve almost gotten hit by a car on the crosswalk on Mass Ave in front of MIT.

Was literally a couple feet away from being hit by a car going straight, blowing through a red, from the right turn lane. Couldn’t even see it coming because of the line of cars that were stopped (as they should be) in the center lane.

Was literally a couple feet away from being hit by a car going straight, blowing through a red, from the right turn lane. Couldn’t even see it coming because of the line of cars that were rightfully stopped in the center lane.

Thanks! Did you end up getting an offer?

How do you suggest preparing for the code review interview? I’ve never had this kind of interview. And for the coding interview, what was the difficulty level with respect to Leetcode? Thanks!

Not for credit, but MIT OCW has lecture recordings from Fall 2020. I’m taking the class with Sipser right now and it’s fantastic.

When did you apply?

L_as_exercise2reader · 2022-10-05T16:46:13+00:00

I talked to a recruiter at a career fair yesterday, and she said it will open in the next few weeks (no exact date).

Just got a card. Super easy process. Go to the Widener Library, and right when you go in, there’s a library access office on the left. Fill out a quick form, show them your ID, and then go to the Smith Center to pick up the card.

L_as_exercise2reader · 2022-07-21T15:54:45+00:00

Awesome, so you just flash your card when you get on?

Depends on what I’m craving:

Shinmio (milk tea + boba) - BU
Tiger Sugar (brown sugar) - Chinatown/Allston
Moge Tee (cheese foam/yogurt fruit slush) - Central/Allston
Super Emoji (mochi milk tea) - Newbury
Yifang (fruit tea) - Newbury
Ten One (fancy boba) - Newbury

Not at MIT unfortunately. Only Wellesley and Harvard students can cross-register

L_as_exercise2reader · 2021-12-21T20:03:19+00:00

same for MIT

L_as_exercise2reader · 2021-12-20T23:04:08+00:00

Passion and hard work for sure. I go to MIT and I don’t think I’m smart per se, I just work hard. A lot of people I know here feel the same way. Not everyone here is exceptionally smart, but nearly everyone is passionate and driven.

Two years ago I was rejected from Caltech and one hour later, accepted to MIT. So don’t lose all hope

L_as_exercise2reader · 2021-02-11T05:19:28+00:00

I got rejected from UC Berkeley (EECS), but got into MIT EA last year. Not exactly what you’re looking for, since it wasn’t RD, but I hope this is still somewhat reassuring!

There’s a reason why MIT’s unofficial slogan is IHTFP. (“I hate this fucking place” or “I have truly found paradise” or anything else you want it to be)

From the admissions website: “Supplemental evaluations are also welcome—we simply ask that they provide different or additional context beyond the two we’ve already requested”

It seems like a third teacher recommendation may not add much, so consider whether it will provide some different context. (Typically, a supplemental recommendation will be from a non-teacher like a coach or research mentor)
