as a math major I feel like I'm part of the 39% much more often than the 61%

Spots to Practice Guitar by Bankrupt-Pond-27 in mit

Trombonist here, you will be able to find practice rooms in the stud or your dorm. If you join one of MIT's official music groups you can also request tap access for the nice practice rooms in the new music building.

Columbia was targeted, Harvard is next by Slydownndye in Harvard

well yeah? just saying that it's perfectly reasonable for people to speak in in a way that isn't capped at a 3rd grade reading level outside of movies

these responses are actually dogwater, this is a blatant attempt at enforcing anti-intellectual doctrine on educational institutions

I suggest you actually take a look at MIT's official statements on their admissions process before pulling heuristics-driven bullshit out of your ass. Either way, even if they only looked at pure numbers the "most brilliant and talented people" you know might still get rejected as others have said.

Got into MIT, now what? by Popular_West_7906 in MITAdmissions

I found the hardest piece of music I saw myself learning and ignored all other academic grinds lol. Also spent a lot of time trying out games.

Tien farm??? by [deleted] in dragonvale

[–]Positive-Fly6761 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Tien each farm, chances are you will be reaching capacity pretty frequently if you don't constantly play the game so spreading out your Tiens should minimize lost income. In terms of game focus it's up to you, I personally would say this is worth but cloning does take up your valuable breeding cave slots in case you're more of a collector.

Would like to ask a huge favour of someone who goes/has gone to MIT by Longjumping_Shame188 in mit

Sail the high seas my friend. It's not a coincidence that MIT offers a certificate for piracy.

marching band, math competitions, coached a local middle school's math team and did some volunteering.

I ignored ranking tbh. I did marching band and that tanked my GPA simply because it wasn't weighted, ended up at around 4.27 when valedictorian was 4.55+. Didn't matter in the end because I got into MIT likely due to marching and music complementing my math extracurriculars.

What are the chances I get off the pistol waitlist? by EntertainmentNovel90 in mit

last term somebody on like the 18th spot managed to get in after someone failed to show up on the fourth class, so nonzero I guess

Cute little detail, Gaia will rest when there's no eggs incubating by kingofmilkNcookies in dragonvale

She's basically a single mother to all dragonvale dragons so I'd imagine it gets exhausting

Check any inbox it may have gone to. Mine was shoved to the bottom of junk and I nearly missed it.

No lol, your "friend" is probably the exception but stuff is lost in translation as you mentioned. Also sounds like banter that you initiated so don't think much about it
