MIT Calling

MIT Calling So both Melis AND Laura beat me to it, but last night was the early action telethon! 54 MIT students total came to chill out and check up on how you guys are doing by calling all 390 of the early admits (sometimes more than once.. our bad). We were probably more excited than you were there were periods of time when wed have to wait to call some people back, during which Christina and I called our parents to congratulate them on their early acceptance to MIT. (Frank? Hi, this is Christina from MIT, and Id like to congratulate you on your acceptance! Thats right! I was just wondering if you had any questions or would like to get the perspective of a current student.. yes, there are girls here..) So I was planning on posting the most common questions, but the truth is the most common question was just nope, no questions; which I totally understand. Last year when Anthony called me, I flipped out. OH MAN MIT IS ON THE PHONE. OH MAN, I HAVE TO REMEMBER MY SAT VOCABULARY, OR THEYLL RESCIND ME. OVER THE PHONE. AAAHHH. AAAHHHH. AHHHHHHHH. And its not like you have time to prepare a list of questions either. So just in case youd like to put names to faces and events to rooms, heres what we looked like while we were talking to you. I gave out my email probably around 30 times this evening, but just in case you didnt get a call from me specifically, or we missed you its iamjkim at mit dot edu. Please, please leave a comment or send me an email if you have a question or just want to say whats up. Let me know youre alive! I did get asked about what I was doing over IAP a couple times, so just in case you missed it, heres an update: EMT training, 8 hours a day, 4 days a week. Tonight was supposed to be my first shift on the ambulance, but its currently out of service due to a mixup with the insurance company; it should be up by next week, in which case Ill be on shift next Tuesday. MITs Student EMS is actually the only collegiate-run EMS that runs their own ambulance and can thus transport students and other patients to get the care they need. Its a pretty cool program, and Im really excited to be a part of it. Sos everybody in the class, as far as I can tell.. Anyway, it was nice talking to you guys for real! Keep those questions coming; Ill answer them all together in the next entry.
