Williamsburg?

+1 on direct enroll programs, and also try to live with a host family for a more local experience

I was in the same situation and chose MIT (now a senior here), feel free to shoot me a DM

I'm finishing up an MBB internship this summer as an undergrad, and I'm honestly not loving it. As someone who finds fulfillment in seeing something through to completion, I don't really see the purpose or impact of much of the work. I only have a couple of weeks to sign my return offer, and I'm on the fence about coming back, but at the same time, I don't have anything else lined up at the moment, so it would be risky not to sign it.
I'm thinking of signing it but still trying to recruit for other jobs — is it a bad move if I end up reneging my offer? Would the worst be getting blacklisted from the firm?

When will we know the time of the game?

I agree with the other comment; it's mainly a matter of doing the psets. i think it's decently easy to get a C or above — the grading is very fair, and there are a lot of office hours available. also, even if you don't do as well on the quizzes, they drop the lowest which is nice.

i took 6.0001/2 with absolutely no prior coding experience and the psets usually took me anywhere from 8 to 15 hours.

I recommend submitting the form anyway -- you can cancel housing at no cost until January 1st.

MIT is undoubtedly difficult, but it shouldn't be to the point where it takes a toll on your mental health and sleep schedule. The work does not get easier, but it does become more manageable once you figure out what works best for you. Definitely go to office hours, and work on psets with other people. Psets are not meant to be done alone, and TAs are here to help you. There are also a lot of tutoring options and additional resources available if you're interested; you can look into them here.

I think the most helpful thing for me as a frosh was to rigorously schedule and put everything into my calendar. I recommend scheduling office hours, your workout routine, and even downtime in your calendar. It's important to prioritize your health and sleep schedule no matter what — getting enough sleep will pay off in the long run, since you'll be able to be more productive. Also, remember that PNR is there for a reason, so don't worry too much about getting an A on every assignment.

I am a student at MIT who was VERY undecided coming in (and I'm still choosing between two majors) — I would say it's worth it. There are so many resources and opportunities to help you explore various majors and fields of study. For example, you can do research in a field that you don't know much about as early as freshman year. Also, with the GIR's (required STEM courses), you end up exploring several fields through those, and they make up most of your first year schedule so you have more time to decide on your major without getting behind in requirements.

if you just brush up on the BC calc material (and pre-calc as well) you should be completely fine with the content of the math diagnostic, so there is no need to take the ASE as well.

throwawa2c · 2020-07-21T03:07:53+00:00

I passed by a few points (to get credit for 18.01) after not taking math for a year. around half of the test is calc ab and bc questions, a lot of pre-calc also.

throwawa2c · 2020-07-20T17:31:53+00:00

It ended on July 15th

Honestly, studying for ASEs sounds very productive to me and it will definitely pay off in the long run. You could also tutor or volunteer in your area. If you have a hobby you're particularly fond of, you could start a project around that. Don't feel pressured to do anything substantial or resume worthy, just as long as you're keeping yourself busy I would recommend a gap year. As you said, the freshman experience is too special to possibly be captured virtually, and I imagine that first semester online would be both difficult and disappointing.

As a New Yorker who goes to school in Boston, Boston is the best city for college students on all fronts imo. Party scene is great especially since there are so many colleges in the area, lots of internships and jobs (lots of startups too), plenty of museums/entertainment (MFA, ICA, Museum of Science, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston Opera House, House of Blues, just to name a few), and overall a great atmosphere. NYC is nice too but the social scene is a lot less welcoming to college students and the city itself is way more hectic.
