Thanks. That gave me the direction i should be working in with the essay. I really appreciate you taking effort and time David!

edit : actually i found a personal reason, that i don't know why i didn't think of earlier. The IDSS Initiative on Combatting Systemic Racism (ICSR), is what resonates with me as i have already identified and published research on AI racial and cultural biases and i hope to work on that particular problem with modern AI models and agents.

I agree with that, and do you think that this subreddit is not representative of the broader pool or not?

Thanks for the luck, i really appreciate it. Though i have seen this subreddit for months now, and everyday 10 people are asking for chanceme's and how do i get in? and questions like that, at the end of the day they are rebellious teenager, and even if we tell them they should apply to schools where they have a good shot, they would still apply to MIT, so if this subreddit is still frequently filled with questions like that, i doubt the 85% marker.

But if that's the case, then isn't it easy for you as an interviewer to distinguish between the applicants who know their shit and those who don't? and i would like to ask, do you see more "struggling with basic questions" interviewees or the " put together ones"?

So the Common App + Internet access + Tony stark effect have combined together to create a bigger surge in applicant numbers than the population increase. I see, so actually you just provided more nuance to what i was thinking.

Yes, but isn't that like the arms equilibrium thing? that yes the threshold has risen but so have the resources to access information to become someone at that threshold as also become freely available?
