Spring break Q&A! by Jenny B. '25, MEng '26

ask me questions :-D

It’s spring break here at MIT and I’m busy with thesis work. I want to procrastinate. Give me reasons to procrastinate by asking me questions in the comments section!

I’ll update this post with my answers throughout the week until next Sunday, Mar 29, with your comment displayed, so make sure that you use a name or alibi that you’re ok with being public.

  • Doesn’t matter if you’re a high school student, a college graduate, an 82-year-old, or Hollywood actor Matt Damon — anyone’s welcome to ask!
  • I’ll try to answer as many questions as I can, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll get to every one. I’ll probably be updating this post with my answers in the evenings (Eastern Time), but I’ll try to keep an eye on the comments throughout the day!
  • I can’t tell you how to get into MIT. What I found helpful in high school though was reading through the admissions website and prepping myself for any courses I need to take before I apply.

Fire away!
