@Andrewaae1 Sorry to hear that! I think you have more impressive accomplishments than getting into MIT anyway. Their loss. You'll do great anywhere ;)
@JuniKim My friends say that MOP increases your chance of getting into MIT. I think it's more likely that people who get selected for MOP are generally likely to be very qualified.
@cc6 I think this is actually more causation than correlation; qualifying for MOP does not test you on application-writing skills unlike MCSP or SSP. Obviously, you cannot expect to get in with only MOP and a weak application everywhere else, but I think the 90% acceptance rate suggests systematic admittance.
Also anecdotally, the only people who seem to get into MIT from competitive schools tend to consist of athletes, oly campers, and research mains.
@cc6 i think the PRIMES application weighs many of the other factors much more than the essay itself

@chatterchatty Thank you for your feedback
I understand that admissions can be unpredictable, and I will work on improving my essays to strengthen my application further am already preparing. When I was in school, writing essays was not my strong suit, so I used the service https://edubirdie.com/do-my-math-homework as a sample, and that’s how I improved my skills. Now I can write texts calmly, they are not perfect yet, but I am working on it. I think it will get better each time. As for this resource, it helps all students.
