Hey /sci/. So there's a program in my country that will send 15 students from any university of the country, in the fields of CompiSci, Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry, for a semester at one of these universities: 1)Stanford 2)MIT 3)Berkley 4)Princeton 5)UCLA. Everything will be paid except money for food and anything else you might need and you don't decide to which university you want to go, the letter says that it will be decided by a jury and the courses I'm taking. So they send every student an application form which has some questions like 1)where do you see yourself in ten years. 2) what do you think about the future and things like that. After the last question there is an asterisk which says that it would be good to also send the grades off all the classes that you've went. The problem is that I'm an average student, not because I don't get the stuff that they tell us in uni but mostly because of lack of motivation. Do you think that I have a chance? Should I even bother to send the application? As everyone knows these institutions demand some really good grades. Also this won't be a real semester, it will be six month in an university abroad just to see how things work, so any classes that I pass let's say in MIT won't be transfered in my university. What do you think? Do I have a chance?

But they say, it is recommended to send your grades. You don't have to send your grades. So can you just blow them away, by answering the questions in the application form? There will also be an interview via telephone from some of the institutions if you are in the top list to get accepted.

MIT is shite. Otherwise, the other 4 are excellent. If application is free, then apply. You've got nothing to lose.

That's what I'm probably going to do. Does anyone know what to write in this application? What would be good answers to the questions? For example where do you see yourself in ten years? I see myself working for a big company in Silicon valley or make my own software company. But I don't think that this answer is really what they expect me to write. Am I right or am I right?
