Achieved a perfect rating of '5 - Excellent Report' from MIT Admissions on all submitted interview reports. "5 - Excellent Report: You can tell that the Educational Counselor really took the time and went the extra mile to carefully prepare the report, as it goes into many examples of the applicant's background and interests that were not present in the application. The reader really gets a sense of what the applicant is about. The applicant must have really felt comfortable when talking to the EC. The EC was clearly able to draw the applicant out. The report is extremely comprehensive, very well written, and helpful to the reader in gauging the strengths and weaknesses of the applicant."
