“Be a real person, not a machineJul 12 2004Biology
be a real person, not a machine. everyone here is smart, so you'll need decent scores and LORs to attest to ability, but what will give you the edge is not being an introverted weirdo. discuss something interesting to you in your PS and allow your ECs to be a window into what makes you tick.
SAT: 1400 Male

“My best advice is to be what I wasn'tJul 09 2004Engineering Department
My best advice is to be what I wasn't - WELL ROUNDED. Excelling at science and math isn't enough anymore. It is always great to bump into someone who speaks many languages, plays musical instruments, or has a passion for philosophy (on top of high grades and superb SATs). Best of Luck!
