I got into MIT under the “Arizona quota”!
But I ended up in the top quarter of my class, was inducted into Sigma Xi, and won an NSF Graduate Fellowship!
Might a white or Hispanic Arizonan admitted into MIT or Harvard in 2026 do as well as I did?
My wife and daughter are Japanese ( daughter 1/2 ) . Daughter is a high school teacher in Kumamoto . One of her students was accepted not only to Harvard but also MIT . She chose MIT . This was 9 years ago . I wonder what she is doing now . I’ll have to ask Mika if she knows .
