Busy times

Busy times For those of you hoping for an Admissions status update, here goes: were reading applications. Lots and lots of applications. Its been quite busy here in Admissions lately. In addition to the requisite 4-5 reading days each week, we have 2 work days with Admissions-related meetings. Today was pretty much consecutive meetings from 9am until 7pm for me. This morning was a meeting about our new viewbook, discussed in Bens latest post, followed by some planning for Campus Preview Weekend, and finally a meeting with a student group. And finally, after posting this entry, Ill be going home to relax tonight. Things are starting to get busy for students, too, as today was the third day of classes at MIT. Two of my favorite freshmen students dropped by together independently of each other, and both are taking one of my top-5 favorite classes at MIT: 4.101 Experiencing Architecture Studio with Professor Bill Hubbard (discussion of all five of my top-5 favorite classes in a future post). Even if youre not planning on doing architecture at MIT, I still encourage you to take this class; its really awesome. Are there any classes youre particularly psyched to try at MIT?
