Embracing Opportunity: How to Succeed at MIT

Senior Guangtao (Taotao) Zhang, of China, reflects upon her undergraduate journey at MIT as a transfer student. She talks about rising above her initial anxieties through the support of friends, family, and the MIT community to become one of the most successful students in her class. She recently accepted an offer from Apple to work as an iPad product design engineer.

MIT has need-blind admission so if you or your parents don't have money, they'll pay for you.

[@omniscientist1159]

Karamany 98 but ofcourse i will need to do the SAT and get a good score right ? is there any thing else other than that ?

[@karamany9870]

It's a holistic process. Read MIT's admission Website. It has everything you need.

[@jaykay6249]

You must have a valid reason to transfer. It does not depend upon your wish.

[@foodparadise5792]

glad to see her to put her name in authentic Chinese rather than communist Chinese

[@blankblank2370]

+George Hamilton The problem with simplified Chinese is that not only did the Chinese shut down their school system for years in order to implement it, but it removed a lot of the meaning behind certain symbols. Also, their is no evidence to suggest that simplified Chinese improved literacy rates.
