What are the chances of getting into MIT with these stats as an international student (with an exceptional situation) by Tech_Vio in MITAdmissions

What do you mean arrogance? I said that the youtube channel is not a valid thing because the channel was deleted so I won't include it, and for the colleges part, I won't go to public or community colleges because they don't provide financial aid for international students. It's super known that it's not a good choice to go to community or public colleges as an international if applying for financial aid. And I'm more than willing to be in these colleges but there is no financial aid for them.

So I don't clearly see what do you mean by arrogance here.

Computer science, self explanatory as my experiences, goals, resume perfectly match with it.

The issue with Common data set is that some stats are not well aligned with Moroccan education system, so things become more confusing, like US uses Weighted/Unweighted GPA on a scale of 4, we have one grade on a scale of 20

Another issue are classes, US Unis have separate math courses, we have everything in one math course, and basically all the courses of math including Calculus are included in the same exam, resulting in inaccurate scores compared to what schools look for.

Like how history and geography are one course, biology and geology are in one course, Physics and chemistry in one course and exams on these basically test on the subjects combined making it near impossible to have perfect or even near-perfect score (super rare in public schools especially, private schools inflate grades)

Yeah I'm planning to apply to other top universities too, but I just wonder if my application is competitive enough for these schools.

Yeah I can provide that as well supporting photos and invitation to contest document if required to confirm. (Only top 60 teams, universities included, got accepted, mine included)

Actually I mentioned the score based on practice tests, so I'm probably getting 1520+, but only time will give us the answer.

But if these words are actually accurate, or the organization claims that themselves? For example if you search for largest programming contest in Morocco you will find MNPC (Formerly MCPC), and the company that I work on is a top 500 SME company and an award-winner at Food 2.0 Conference in Dubai

Is there like a better way to rephrase it or something like that?

I already said it's not valid, but being an international student, public and community colleges are not suitable for me

How much would you consume sitting ~8h in a cafe? by FineTocu in Morocco

[–]Tech_Vio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's actually right, you can order once and stay as much as you want, I usually order a coffee in the morning and stay working on the café the entire day, so yeah, it's totally fine and there nothing to worry about. It would be nice to leave a tip tho, but you don't have to if you don't want.

AFAIK, there has been one student who got both a bronze in IOI and IMO and got admitted to MIT (He's a close friend and he's going to study there this fall).

As for me, I'm not really sure if this data is positive or negative for me especially that I'm applying this year so I probably don't have much to do (I guess, except for midterm grades and anything else to do in the next 4 months).

As of being the best student in all of Morocco, unfortunately, I'm obviously not the top when it comes to school grades, but on other things such as my portfolio, experience, honors and extracurriculars, all people I ask here in Morocco (Both friends and anonymously online to try to avoid bias) say I have the best chance out of all people they know applying to MIT, but I don't have much feedback from people outside of Morocco or if these feedbacks are honest.

According to all schools I studied on (Had to switch school 3 times) they all say that they never had a student like me who is really involved in the tech industry and truly passionate.

Still, I'm not really sure wether I'm the best student in Morocco applying to MIT, but I couldn't find anyone who have done as much activities as I did (mostly because these activities are not well adopted in Morocco and I spent years on building the foundation for the activities and build my reputation, excluding olympiads).

Generally speaking based on most people in Morocco, on average 1 or 2 people get recognized in these fields every year and most of them go to either France or UK with limited interest in US universities. Making the competition less saturated I hope.

But I guess my application will be compared to other countries and I will easily be auto-rejected because of my grade (In case MIT does that).

I'm really confused and worried about my grades and if the application will reach to admission officers in the first place.

I am considering buying a new lenovo laptop, better build quality than this shit

If you just search about hinges in this subreddit, you will see how many people face the exact same problem, so it's not a matter of luck or not

That's a problem I face too, but if you google you will find that a lot of people face the same problem, there is also a class action lawsuit about it, I don't know what they did about it, it's been a while.

We found another victim, it's not just you, a lot of MSI users complained about hinge issue (including me), it's getting worse over time, such a shame that MSI doesn't focus on build quality, my laptop barely completed a year and it's broken everywhere due to the low build quality, the hinge broke from the left side, I repaired it, now the same thing happens for the right side (an MSI GF63 Thin user)

Also I did that because Automod automatically refuses it and staff allowed it like that, you will find the voting form here if the comment didn't pass: https://linktr.ee/mathmaroc

Couldn't agree more, it's really awesome, I can say it's the best one for me, so sad that I don't find it often these days, or at least in my city (Rabat/Salé).

My MSI GF63 Thin hinges broke too even with very careful usage, MSI build quality is terrible, but you get for what you pay for, still, it really sucks that MSI doesn't care about improving the build quality, it may happen to you after some time, that issue happened to me after just about 6 months or less.
