I’ve planned on this since 6th grade…
I don’t know if I’ll make it in or not, but I’m certainly trying.

I wish. I’m just hoping I have some chance of admission during the graduate years.
It’s not worth it. I’m going to try Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. MIT seems not to like me.
Plus, RPI is giving me a buncha monies. <3
I want to be a physicist.
There’s always the Masters and PhD degrees.
But I might try princeton. Forget MIT.
I love math. I am told that I am a genius at it. I am also told that I am very smart. So far I have straight As so that will help. MIT is the most selective college in the united states so I might want to get into a better high school (like a magnet school). I have a plan to get there and I will do all I can to pursue it.
But I will not go to MIT if I will not graduate so I better do that.
I got in :)
I just have to accept their offer now..hmm
But screaming for five minutes was difinitely fun :)
Okay… My grades suck.
But I’m in the IB program. I do hope all of my credentials balance out in the end.
My interview… went terrible I think.
I am so upset and nervous over this noooow….
I am going to Macauly Honors/City College for a number of reasons.
1. Academics. I didn’t do too well in the last year of high school due to the fact that I was hospitalized for a combined total of over 1 month. I was wait-listed. Over this year, I realized that taking on the stress of a large Ivy Leauge college would be beyond me for the next four years. I decided my sanity was much more valuable than prestige.
2. Money. I want to go to med/grad school. My parents are not Hiltons or Rockafellers and I am not Einstein.
3. I like the small community in a big college setting. I can prove that I deserve a spot in an Ivy for med/grad school.
Three years ago, I never would have considered teaching. But now it’s what I want to do. I still want to go to grad school, but not necessarily immediately. Given my grades, my potential relocation to Birmingham, and new major, I just don’t see myself at MIT anymore. I was never really dead set on it, but now it’s not even on my mind.
To get into MIT I’m getting straight A’s for my next three years, hopefully that will be enough, I’m gonna have to bust my hump but it’ll be worth it.
