General Background

Hi! I'm going to assume that most of you know who I am, but for those of you who don't, I'm Karen, a current senior in high school and a prospective MIT '12. My other blog chronicled my journey from naive applicant to depressed deferee to ecstatic acceptant, so go there for that. This blog is entirely about my CPW experience.

If you've read my other blog, you probably have a general idea that I'm not a very typical high school senior. My CPW didn't really stick to the book, and it wasn't perfect all of the time. I also lost my camera so I don't have as many pictures as Snively's CPW blog. I'm going to be as honest with you as possible (as usual) so that you can see how I fell in love with MIT over one crazy Campus Preview Weekend.

I'd like you to be aware that, generally, the content in this blog is rated R. I am 18 and I won't sugar-coat things, and certain parts of my CPW experience were more politically correct than others. If you feel as though you may be offended but his, I give you full permission to stop reading. You have been warned.
