  1. To be brutally honest, why did you apply to other institutions if you'd rather not go to grad school for a year than to attend them? You could definitely re-apply to MIT with publications & hopefully some more paid research experience, but would you also be re-applying to the schools that you're rejecting this year?
  2. I'm sorry, I realize this sounds like an incredibly stupid question. It's just that in high school, I knew about ~4-6 people who went on to the Ivy League for STEM fields—and in addition to science fair stuff—they all (1) founded or had a leadership role in youth-nonprofit thing, (2) recieved a ton of media coverage for a variety of reasons. Do these other factors also weigh into grad school decisions at all (and if so, to what extent)? Thanks!
  3. Thanks so much, this was extremely helpful!
  4. Large public university, not Ivy League but fairly research-intensive!
  5. How can I improve my chances of doing more than grunt work & hopefully ending up with a publication? (I'm a first year so I wouldn't be getting my own project—I would be working with someone else). Doesn't seem to be too common at my university & any advice would be much appreciated.
