I’m flying to San Francisco for the long weekend — hope you kids in Boston have fun! There’s a lot going on this weekend, including:
Pulse: Waves from the Motherland Cultural Show
THIS SATURDAY, February 18th @ 7:30pm
Kresge Auditorium – MIT – FREE
In celebration of Black History Month, come see a FREE show featuring the
Logs, Harvard’s Ku’umba, Capoeira dancing, MIT Gospel, MIT Dance Troupe,
Steel Pan, and so much more!!
“Pulse: Waves From the Motherland” is a demonstration of the extent to which
Africa has influenced art of all kinds and, with this influence, molded
culture all over the world. The show, a collaborative effort by Advocates
For Awareness, the MIT African Students’ Association, the MIT Black
Students’ Union, the MIT Caribbean Club, and the MIT chapter of the National
Society of Black Engineers, celebrates Black history as American history and
moreover global history, by showcasing Black history as an integral part of
our culture’s foundation today.
Also, don’t miss the FREE afterparty in Ashdown right after the show!!!

I know it is not really called McBain.
Hi, Mitra,
I am Joan Tran from Immaculata High in New Orleans, Louisiana. I am currently a Junior in high school, and, for me, college is truly around the corner. I definitely wanted to learn more about MIT, and I find that my.mit.edu was a great idea because it gives me so much more information and different perspectives on what MIT is all about. I thought maybe I could send you this comment to get your opinion and advice.
Recently, I’ve looked at all the college options that I wanted to learn more about and all the majors that I would like to pursue. I think, just like anyone else thinks, people do end up changing their majors because of different interests, and I think that’s a good thing because it defines what you like and don’t like about the majors that are out there. As for me, I really love math and sciences so I wanted to go into Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Long story short, I’ve met people that have gone to MIT and I love hearing about it because I really want MIT to be the top of my list for college admissions. I’ve also applied to attend the WTP for this summer (summer ’06) and I think notices will come out sometime in April (and I am praying to get in!).
I just wanted to get some help and any advice that you can give to a Junior like me. I read your blog about admission essays. I totally believe and agree with you in expressing ideas; sometimes writing may not be my number 1 factor, but the idea still stands. Right now, I think I have the Juniorits (if that’s possible) and I am studying and practicing really hard for the ACT/SAT/AP tests.
Well, I hope that you can respond anytime and I really would like to keep in contact. Thank you so much for your time.
– Joan Tran,
High School Junior
wish you good luck for your future.
hi
god’s love follows you.
