I'm surpised the topic hasn't been created yet: here it is !!

another intn'l applicant here...waiting for call

I was waitlisted--not sure about the process or what comes next. Still hopeful!

^ This isn’t entirely true. I’m currently an LGO ‘19 and there’s a member of our class who came directly from undergrad, although he did start his own biomedical device company while in school. So if you’re able to apply your research to a start-up or show other business/industry-related experience it is technically possible.

Hi guys, I'm having a lot of trouble writing the MIT essays. The prompts are as follows: 1) Tell us about a recent technical problem you faced at work. How did you solve the problem? 500- words 2) Write a short description outlining your why you would like to enroll in the engineering department you chose. Feel free to explain your academic interests, career goals, and why the department's relationship with LGO fits your interests and plans during and after MIT LGO. 300- words. What style should I be writing them in? I wrote number 1 as a narrative and 2 in more formal business language, but my reviewer suggested I switch that.
