@Andrewaae1 Sorry to hear that! I think you have more impressive accomplishments than getting into MIT anyway. Their loss. You'll do great anywhere ;)

oops I have negative balance now

If you can get rejected after making MOP, I don't know what kind of stuff you need to get in anymore

@cc6 To be fair, most (90%-eps) of MOPpers were accepted, but I agree this is wild.

@JuniKim My friends say that MOP increases your chance of getting into MIT. I think it's more likely that people who get selected for MOP are generally likely to be very qualified.

@cc6 I think this is actually more causation than correlation; qualifying for MOP does not test you on application-writing skills unlike MCSP or SSP. Obviously, you cannot expect to get in with only MOP and a weak application everywhere else, but I think the 90% acceptance rate suggests systematic admittance.

Also anecdotally, the only people who seem to get into MIT from competitive schools tend to consist of athletes, oly campers, and research mains.

@JuniKim Wait my bad I mistyped, meant to say PRIMES, not MOP.

@cc6 i would agree with juni here even if you replace the word MOP with PRIMES.

@astyerche PRIMES does test on application writing skills though

@cc6 i think the PRIMES application weighs many of the other factors much more than the essay itself

Resolving based on hearing from the market creator that they were rejected - apparently they couldn’t log in or something

I put this at ~65%:

• People tend to overestimate the selectiveness of MIT.

• I think you have a good chance on basis of your impressive math achievements - most of these more impressive than getting into MIT.

• However, there are always random odds, and your essays are not the best.

@chatterchatty Thank you for your feedback
I understand that admissions can be unpredictable, and I will work on improving my essays to strengthen my application further am already preparing. When I was in school, writing essays was not my strong suit, so I used the service https://edubirdie.com/do-my-math-homework as a sample, and that’s how I improved my skills. Now I can write texts calmly, they are not perfect yet, but I am working on it. I think it will get better each time. As for this resource, it helps all students.

It is fascinating that probability estimates of people on this market range from 0% to 100%.

how is it even possible you get deferred

@8 he's heard this line a hundred times; doesn't matter bc THE DAY OF PI WILL COMETH
