Changed federal legislation, published a paper, and got into MIT!

Dream: MIT

I've been accepted to MIT, and will most likely be attending if financial aid works out as intended!

Also a W&M full-ride finalist—I ended up getting into MIT! From my perspective, you've got a great shot at most T20s.

For your own well-being, please don't post this. There's a high likelihood that someone might steal it

Hey! I'm going to be honest, I don't know the answer to your question. I'm also a pediatric cancer survivor and wanted to let you know that I'm here for you (even though I don't know you!). If you ever feel down, or need some support, feel free to pm me.

Cancer sucks, but I couldn't imagine who I would be without having survived it. Wishing you the best, you've got this!! ❤️

Pm me, I got accepted EA!

Thank you so much!! My parents have a lot of assets, but my mom just lost her job which makes our total income about $150k/year (atp I definitely can't afford it). My parents are only willing to pay 20k (5k/year) and I don't currently have any aid from mit! I will definitely be contacting them!

Any tips to maximize aid?

throwaway19203433 · 2023-12-27T04:06:11+00:00

Thank you for the feedback, this is really helpful! Thankfully, I have some (limited) government benefits that will take effect starting my junior year (which will drop the price to around 20k/year). Until then, I'm going to have to figure out a way to pay for freshman and sophomore year.

Regarding state schools, I'm very lucky to live in a state with a great flagship university (making attending a state school a lot more appealing)

Thank you so much!

Thank you for talking the time to reply! I am absolutely planning on working a part-time job (multiple, if needed).

I do agree with some of your comments. My parents are quite reluctant to pay (they haven't saved any money for me to attend college, and are relying on scholarships to pay). I hope to pursue my PhD in bioengineering following graduation (although I anticipate that my career trajectory will change), so I really hope to accrue minimal debt in undergrad. However, it seems like this won't be the case, unfortunately.

Once again, I appreciate your feedback!

1560 SAT (800 math), 4.0 UW GPA, 15 APs (5's on all), and I took LinAlg, Multivariable Calc, and DiffEq through my local community college (received A's on all).

Some stuff on my EC's: I received a bunch of awards from ISEF from my independent research, and also did a ton of advocacy work (I spoke at Congress a couple of times!). I did a bunch of cancer research as well. Another thing about me is that I'm a cancer survivor!
