Why I Chose MIT: I chose MIT because I love math, science, and volleyball. MIT offered me the best of both worlds: a competitive volleyball program and an incredible education. The entire atmosphere surrounding MIT was the biggest selling point, however. Nowhere else can you find a community so dedicated to their work yet still so down to earth, not to mention the close proximity to the wonderful city of Boston.
