Why MIT:
  • "Community was a huge part of why I decided to attend MIT. Every conversation that I had with people in and around MIT would invariably end with a comment on how special the people that made up the Institute were; the description that has stuck with me the most was that MIT is just as a bunch of people brought together from around the world by a shared passion for problem-solving. While I don't know exactly what I want to do in the future, I am sure that I want to solve some problems and leave things better than I found them -- for that it seems MIT is the place to be!"
