Haha, I've rated you already - don't worry. Your Intel, CCC, Pascal and CMO will look very good to MIT. I'm not sure about that essay though... =)

hehe, lol, it was about more than pizza of course, i just used it to get their attention, i think they r overworked and constantly hungary, thus a little pizza will work to my favor =)
good thinking? no?

Chances at Cornell probably >60%.
