"Comics for IAP"
A few weeks back, MIT's most famous fictitious current student, Alex Doonesbury '10, had an exciting IAP, doing the 6.270 Autonomous Robot Design Competition (not to mention Palmistry, Advanced Sudoku, a chocolate workshop, and Charm School). Read on...

This is completely unrelated, but I have a question about mid-year grade reports. I attend school in the US and our second semester concluded the last week of January. The mid-year reports were sent as soon as possible, but they still haven't shown up on my status page. Should I be concerned? Thanks!

Wow, great comic. I clicked on it for the site and only caught myself getting off task ten comics later! It's amazing that MIT has such exciting things as a robotics contest during IAP.
And also, several questions that I hope you wouldn't mind answering:
1. I'm a High School freshman at State College Area High School in State College, PA, and transferred to this school district after a year in Whitney Young Magnet High School's Academic Center program for 7th and 8th graders in Chicago, IL. I was wondering how many students get admitted to MIT from State High, how many from Whitney, and how many from Whitney that were in the Academic Center.
2. Also, I understand that you consider the application in context, but was wondering how great an influence is the High School that one attended.
3. Lastly, I most likely won't be applying for college until Senior year, and so was wondering how much your expectations from an applicant change over the years.
Thanks for your time,
