You should read up on a little history first. Most of the greatest people in science did not come out of prestigious schools. They were freel thinkers and went against traditional thought. So go pass your exams and get into a program in a university that you can regurgitate what you have been fed.

Sure. That's why I want to go there. I probably won't be the "stupid one" but I'll be the "average one." I'm tired of my superlative. It's getting boring. There's no challenge. Sure, other people do better than me grade-wise, but intellectually, typically people rank me as the most intellectual person they know personally. It's boring. Means I have no one to talk to--no one to learn from. In that sort of environment... I'm surrounded by intellectuals. I WILL FINALLY FIT IN, don't you see? *_*

i wish you all the best in your studies. It is actually not that I wish you luck, but put your nose to the grindstone and learn what you can. The real trick is all in the applications.

Sometimes I wonder if I should be a marketer, since I can pitch my ideas pretty convincingly. My AP Lang essays got 9s all throughout third quarter last year. I'm sure I can word my applications just right in order to convince them. With MIT, the interviews actually matter greatly. In fact, you have a four times greater chance of being accepted if you opt for the interview than if you don't. o.O

Good luck! Try and stay relaxed. Easy for me to say. Do you have a murder victim in mind in case you don't get in? I'm sure you will.

I have no idea. But anyone that mocks me for it is asking to be literally mauled to death. My thighs may not be the legendary nerd thighs that slay jocks, but I'm a little like an enraged orangutan with a black belt and no empathy. xD I'm stronger than I look. Much stronger. xD

You've succeeded in scaring me and I don't even know where you live. :-) I'm sure you'll get in. Think positive!

The thing is, I'm naturally such a derp. What appears ordered and erudite in text comes out as blabbered incoherent jargon IRL.

I wish you well. Can you tell me what the interview is like if you know? Do you talk about the subject or other things or a lil bit of both?
