Re: Does M.I.T./Yale Success = FIRST Dean's List Finalist/Winner?
Alex Carrillo of 694 is a Dean's List finalist from 2011, from NY and is currently attending Yale University. Is that the only reason he got into his school of choice? Probably not, but it certainly didn't hurt.

I totally understand that you're feeling burned about rejections; I'm the only team captain from our team to not get into MIT, and I'm still a little bitter, too. The truth is that not everyone can go to an Ivy League school, but anyone can find success in life even if they don't.

Make the most of whatever college education you get - at the Cooper Union I get the opportunity to mentor my old team and be a part of a smaller, closer-knit community while still getting a great engineering education.

Best of luck!
