Undergraduate / it depends on my mood, time & the setting; Activity/ies for the pleasure? [11]

Although you may not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program at MIT appeals to you and why? (*)(100 words or fewer)

My love for physics comes because of its comprehending nature. Physics, in my opinion, means understanding the phenomena of nature with systematic observation and experimentation, in a broader spectrum of equations rather than generalities.

Modern Physics is the most invigorating subject for me. As a physics' major, I would love to delve into the intricacies of Maxwell's equations and Einstein's theories. The Society of physics at MIT will give me a chance to share my passion with the world's top brains. Ever since I can remember making my name on the basis of research work in physics has been at the top of my ambitions and with such an opportunity in hand, it is not surprising that I will avail it.

Undergraduate / "attraction towards Mathematics" - MIT admission essay [13]

It is excellent! It does show all the passion you have for mathematics. I am also applying for MIT, hope we all get the admission. But it seems you are in a hurry,

Undergraduate / Why Yale - short ans (passion in cultural studies) [8]

You are right Jing!....You should mention about any multi-cultural experiences you have had in your life. Also you should mention your curiosity about knowing how different people react to a certain stimulus....just elaborate a bit and the essay is gonna rock!

Undergraduate / [Rice] What will I bring to diversity? [I need some guide!] [6]

Well friend,

The things you have mentioned are really good but you really need to show how you turned into a multi-dimensional person. Your words should prove you dynamic and active in all the activities you have mentioned. Hope it helps!

What is the word limit?

This is just my own perception!

Undergraduate / it depends on my mood, time & the setting; Activity/ies for the pleasure? [11]

THANK YOU SO MUCH KEVIN...

We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do for the pleasure of it. (*)(100 words or fewer)

What I do for the pleasure of it depends on mood, time available, and most importantly "the setting". I feel no reluctance about admitting the enormous chances of finding me engaged in a meditation. Among all the junk in my room, there lies my guitar; every midnight, after an exhaustive study, the rhythmic flow of harmonics takes me into a compendious series of visions; it increases my mental faculty to an enormous degree and concludes me to a new question, and a creative idea of implying scientific concepts on human life.

For me this midnight trial is loyalty to my future aspirations but all the things I like to do involve sitting still, so I regularly hike in the morning with my father. I love my two-sided figure for it helps me maintain both my mental and physical equilibrium.

PLEASE READ IT AGAIN, and comment.

In fact, it depends on my mood, time and most importantly, "the setting". Listening to melodious sounds affects me deeply; it strengthens my belief in hard work and prepares me for the next day. I feel no hesitation in revealing that the chances of finding me engaged in a meditation during unoccupied moments is enormous. I also have an interest for hiking; for me hiking is to go on a place where you feel like on top of the world and close to the nature to maximum amplitude and it has always been an experience of elevation for me.

Besides when I am in mood for some literary touch, I read English novels, mostly the detective ones. ("Murder in Scorpio" is one of my favorites.). I love reading a detective novel while on a journey to my hometown; it's always delightful. Watching movies is also a part of my busy routine life. Most people think they are nothing but a waste of time but in my opinion, they are really helpful in building one's imagination power and creativity.

At times when I really get bored of studying and feel as I am just about to fly in air, I start trying creativity stuff mostly mathematics. (That's specifically how I paved the way for my first mathematics project). In sports, I like playing cricket, soccer and badminton at the school. School life is not all about getting A's; it revolves much around co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. In brief, I am not a bookworm and am always willing to do whatever I see INTERESTING.

I am confused about the essay. do they want me to write about a single activity or everything I do for pleasure?

Undergraduate / "weaknesses have turned out my strong points" - The world I come from MIT Essay [5]

Describe the world you come from; for example, your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations? (*) (200-250 words)

It won't be wrong to say that my world is quite different from most of the candidates applying to MIT. My world can be justifiably described as a hike up an endless mountain in which each step has brought something new to me. I have fallen and risen again many times but never let myself fall down. I do not know where I will end for the experiences to come are never-ending. Though to reach the top is never possible because of humanistic characteristics, I am sure I will end up in a respectable way.

I was born and raised in a small town of this beautiful city lying down the Margalla Hills. Both my parents were really hard-working and used to low economic living. My father had an inadequate salary but despite his financial fragility, he brought us up with not only a healthy education but also healthy minds. My father, a healthy young man would go straight up the hills every morning; it was this regular routine that I adopted later.

"What are the really significant features that influence our personality?" I asked my father. The answer was sensible. "Family characteristics (I know he meant genetics), upbringing and most importantly the environment and the experiences." It is obviously true that man's dreams and aspirations are greatly influenced by the environment he lives in and the experiences that he encounters in this journey. After entering the high school, I was blessed with a financial scholarship at Pak-Turk International School and College, and this amazing era of wonderful memories, and competitive environment has been so exciting for me. It is four years adventure of friendship, classes, crazy talks after the lectures and of course great love for the teachers. The students there on aid were selected from different cities and villages, but it was not the end. It was the beginning not only of bright academics but also maintaining the aid for the school has reasonable authority to cancel the aid on low percentage. None of my parents and grandparents has a strong educational background, and do not occupy good government posts; that's why I had decided much earlier to struggle hard to make a difference for myself and my family.

No doubt the major change of my life started in high school. I was greatly inspired by the new teachers and of course my Mathematics teacher Sir Serdal Arslan. He has taught for five years in Russia as well and with him I was able to learn things beyond the scope of regular course books. While inside-college was such a nice experience, we also remained close to each other outside college. Realizing my inner love for physics which I myself had not explored in the first year, my physics professor allowed me to work in the lab during free periods. The new school had a lot of laboratory equipment and versatile student body. I was sure to add practicality to my personality. I had been good at theoretical part of my science subjects and always longed for carrying out the course experiments for we did not have a good lab in the previous school. My dream came true.

While the fierce competition is just one experience, the role of my friends and family is great. After my father, the really influential personality for me was my brother. My brother had been good at school too but he is the type of person I would call multi-dimensional. I was mono-dimensional till my elementary school; it was his consistent taunting and provocation that I stepped into debates, essays, and other activities. High school friends are a source of learning for me. God has given everybody a talent and that's why I like working in a team. I have friends who do great in chemistry and especially literature and poetry. I gain a lot of knowledge from them.

My family's presumed-to-be weaknesses have turned out my strong points and I feel great satisfaction with whatever I have.

I really need help about the essay....the word limit is 200-250. i love to write more and more but just want to check how I am doing. please give suggestions and advice...
