ASHere are five things I did that helped me stand out and get into MIT:
1. I proactively sought out and gained substantial research experience early on, which gave me a strong foundation in my field.
2. I published several papers and presented at key conferences, establishing myself within the research community before applying.
3. I secured a position as a research associate at MIT for a year, where I deepened my expertise and built valuable connections.
4. Aware of the challenges for foreign nationals in space-related fields, I strategically applied for and won fellowships to enhance my application.
5. I made sure my entire application was strong—maintaining a high GPA, securing excellent recommendations, and crafting a compelling essay.
These steps were pivotal in setting me apart and earning my spot at MIT.
