binky said:Rule #1 of applying to ANY college/university:
----------------------------------------------------
- Find out the program most starved for applicants but which still has enough funding that it's not going to get closed as a department and which you're at least not totally unqualified for. At MIT, it isn't EE (course 6) which is maybe the most popularly competitive it's more like, oh I'm not sure maybe civil(2?) or DMSE (3)? I don't know about nuclear, how that'd be. I'm out of touch.
- TELL THE ADMISSIONS OFFICER AND INTERVIEWER THAT YOU'RE TOTALLY COMPLETELY DYINGLY LOVINGLY DEVOTED TO APPLYING FOR THAT ONE!
- Once you're admitted, transfer to whatever department you want (it's not like they're going to say "that's full")
----------------------------------------------------
Works great at a huge university too, y'know. Like if you're applying to the U of Mich, put yer application in for the Lit. & arts. Then after you're (of course) admitted, transfer to the engineering program.
At a place organized like MIT, I think you don't apply for a particular course so just make it clear that you're not intending to go "course 6" or something like that.
