暂时告一段落

终于。。。application完成了，还剩下一点点的FA就全完事儿了。我容易么我。

4个月，真的过了很不像人的日子。学SAT, TOEFL, 写essay，填表，讨论怎么填，闹心。。。美国真是折腾人啊。

不过完事儿了就好，终于可以踏踏实实地回到原来的生活了，不过，真的是原来的生活么？毕竟自己在变，别人也在变，很多时候发现彼此变得不熟悉了，真的，就像陌生人一样。。。

这4个月教给了我很多东西，这也算是最大的收获吧。不管最后能不能弄上，能不能得奖，反正自己真的是努力了很多很多。当然我也失去了很多，所以在接下来的两周就得恶补学校课程阿，我亲爱的数学~~

Andy, you are the best and the luckiest!!!

MIT composition theme

a. we know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do for the pleasure of it.

b. although you may not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program at MIT appeals to you and why?

A. Tell us about an experience which, at the time, really felt like “the end of the world” –but had it not happened, you would not be who you are today. Describe the process through which you discovered value in the negative.

B. Describe the world you come from, for example your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations?

MIT 1

When we admit a class of students to MIT, it's as if we're choosing a 1,000-person team to climb a very interesting, fairly rugged mountain - together. We obviously want people who have the training, stamina and passion for the climb. At the same time, we want each to add something useful or intriguing to the team, from a wonderful temperament or sense of humor, to compelling personal experiences, to a wide range of individual gifts, talents, interests and achievements. We are emphatically not looking for a batch of identical perfect climbers; we are looking for a richly varied team of capable people who will support, surprise and inspire each other.

By the same token, some applicants struggle to turn themselves into clones of the "ideal" MIT student - you know, the one who gets triple 800s on the SAT. Fortunately, cloning is still for sheep. What we really want to see on your application is you being you - pursuing the things you love, growing, changing, taking risks, learning from your mistakes, all in your own distinctive way. College is not a costume party; you're not supposed to come dressed as someone else. Instead, college is an intense, irreplaceable four-year opportunity to become more yourself than you've ever been. What you need to show us is that you're ready to try.
