Dear Jorge,

There comes a time when your high school starts to feel too small - like a favorite shirt you've finally outgrown. You just have the creeping sense that there's a whole lot waiting for you somewhere else.

That's the moment you're ready for MIT. Consider some things that set an MIT education apart from any other:

- By graduation, eight out of ten MIT undergrads have done hands-on, frontline research - in areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics and nanotechnology - side by side with our world-class faculty.

- At MIT, your professors are often the kind of people whose work makes international news - like Neil Gershenfeld, who helped invent quantum computing. Or Eric Lander, a leader in the trailblazing effort to complete the human genome.
- MIT boasts over 300 student groups, fields more varsity teams than any other U.S. college and offers a huge intramural program ... from basketball to ultimate Frisbee.

MIT is a place for people who like to do things - with intensity, humor and often both at once. It's a place where people do work that literally changes the world.

Interested? Click here and we'll send you something fun in the mail. (If you have trouble with this link, go to www.mit-admissions.org/login and login with XXXXXX and XXXXXXXX.)

I really hope to hear from you!

Marilee Jones
Dean of Admissions
MIT

I received your name from the Student Search Service of the College Board, ACT or a previous inquiry. If you no longer wish to receive email from me, let me know.

1. Note it says "Side-by-side" not IN our labs.

Just food for thought, something to look into. When I was getting ready to head off to college at least (no idea if it's changed), MIT had the largest Freshman suicide rate in the nation. By quite a large margin. The best and the brightest don't always deal well with being just another student.

If you get a scholarship, they want you.

If you get an e-mail, they want your money ;)
