You are a beast! You are an inspiration.

I have one question tho...I just read on the MIT admissions page that they want you to list 5 good extra curricular activities, and, I was wondering, does stuff you do in the summer, like an engineering camp, count? I'm a sophomore in high school, and, not to sound weird or anything, I DREAM about experiencing your "MIT...?" video myself. Wow that came out weird, but oh well. Making it to MIT basically means you're set for life haha.

@shib340 Haha glad you're inspired. Yeah, summer programs definitely count. The definition of extra-curricular is 'beyond' your normal school curriculum. i did a couple robot camps, and they were really fun and i think helped on my application. best of luck with your application!

What's your major?

[SirShazaam]

@bcosby5252 Mechanical Engineering, I really enjoy it because there's a wide range of topics that are taught.

@SirShazaam okay good. I joined Chinese club and Latin club out of desperation, cuz, for some reason, I thought those 5 are restricted to during the school year.. But yeah, thanks for the info!
