Tell us something you do for fun:
"I can say without hesitation, that I am no Iron Chef. However, I cannot help but smile at the half burnt pancakes that have emerged from my efforts, or the overly salty chicken soup that I apprehensively serve to my family. They are my creations, and regardless of how discrepant or hazardous they may seem, they are depictions of my drive to create. What man has not dreamed of creating something, whether it may be living or not? The act of cooking a dish fulfills that very dream, as a symbol of one's creativity and personality emerges for others to enjoy."
Although you may not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program at MIT appeals to you and why?
Perhaps the most appealing program to me is MIT's Brain and Cognitive sciences program. After hearing that this program is embarking on research leading to promising treatments for autism, mental retardation, and Alzheimer's disease, I knew instantly that it is my duty to be part of this endeavor. For an individual who seeks to increase his understanding of the human mind and who has tackled, first hand, the mysteries of autism and other forms of mental retardation, this program will provide me with the tools necessary to help mankind overcome these growing problems.
