I am totally in love with this banner, Mitra! Who made it? I could never even hope to be as good at DDR as you are.
I agree that our bloggers' names are way biased toward the first half of the alphabet. I heard that you also have a better chance of getting into MIT if your first name begins with the letter M. Is this true? Some '06s from my high school are thinking of legally changing their names this month.
Justin -- nope, last initial "M" doesn't matter. We do, however, show preference to those with the last name "Jones" as evidenced by the THREE people in admissions with that last name. http://web.mit.edu/bin/cgicso?query=jones
Okay, on a serious note, you ought to read MIT's Nondiscrimination Statement. And then go file the papers to change your name.

Damn it, and for a second there I thought I'd gotten in on merit. Psh.
Hey, merit starts with an 'm'...
Later,
