SO THIS IS REJECTED BUT THAT GIRL WHO MADE FOAM FLOATER FOR JUST FLOATING ON WATER AND A COPPER WIRE ATENNA GET ACCEPTED WTF KIND OF CORRUPTION IS THIS .
This is the only video I've watched so far that actually has some original ideas and are cleaverly made. Now that I watched this, I don't even believe I have a slight chance of getting accepted. :/
you dont know the rest of what she did or her grades and stuff. From experience, and I don't mean to come off as an asshole, but designing an intake and a gearbox for frc is just nowhere near MIT-level and the rest is also mostly pretty basic stuff (for MIT)
yes it is a bit basic but this is the citrus circuit intake which was famously incredibly effective so although the concepts aren't incredibly complex it shows passion and that he has the capacity to design things efficiently, and think critically about engineering design@@timofy2641
Wooow holyyy shit, im not iPhO medalist, but i went to the one of all the spanish speaking countries (i'm mexican) and i gotta say that receiving an silver medal on IPhO would be such a win for our country, literally impossible in our community, that person rlly is the GOAT ngl.
@@sessionQ yet they rejected the guy that wrote his own compiler and programmed his own logic circuit simulator lol. Best school of engineering, maybe 50 years ago, but in the 21st century, not so much... now it's just yet another cash grab university. All academic institutions have become rotten to the core, plain and simple.
@@sessionQ he’s talking about diversity lol. MIT has to have a certain amount of diversity or it’s “racist” reason why our bridges are falling. Changing the standards not based on knowledge or education but based on race and sex
One question. I noticed for the first project you worked on, it looked like it was for frc or another robotics comp. Nearly all of these competitions are team based. If you worked as a team specifically what parts of the robot did you work on. If you completely worked on CAD and did the building that would be really impressive.
I find that when you’re dealing with fairly complex components like he was usually it’s just one person who CADs parts. Not good to have too many cooks in the kitchen for those types of assemblies lol
This was for 1678, a FRC robotics team, and from how I under stand it he was in charge of CADding the intake (one part of the robot), but he was not the sole CADder of the robot (1678 is a big team)
I did all the prototyping, CAD work, assembly, and maintenance for the intake mechanism. I occasionally had newer members help with small tasks for assembly. I received lots of feedback (and guidance in the beginning) from a team mentor but he didn't touch the robot or CAD haha.
@Mansory811 Parents are enchanted by education though. Tell a parent about building a business, and they'll be meh. Tell a parent about getting a degree in some reputed high paying field like computer science and their eyes will light up.
My first experience with 3D modeling and 3D printing was at a summer camp in elementary school. I 3D designed and printed a fidget spinner haha. From there on I continued working with 3D modeling (the software is free if you are a student) and using printers I had at school. Before my robotics team, all my experience and learning was from doing personal projects and watching youtubers (like RClifeon). Thanks for the comment!
Bro congrats honestly. How do these guys learn these things? I know most of it is curiosity and trial-and-error but like when I was in high school I had no one same minded as me or If I wanted to apply to events and projects none of my teachers knew anything
You'll do well irrespective of these rejections. No I am not saying some bs like "rejections make you stronger"!! At the end of the day the people who see you need to see YOU and not the porjects and SAT scores. They need to see you THROUGH your projects. AND THEY MISSED BIG TIME.
If MIT keeps on rejecting high quality young engineers, which I see them doing a lot more now a days, they are going to be left with a very questionable student body ...
Yep, just like all universities these days. Academic institutions aren't what they used to be way back when... who needs good engineers when you can pull off a get rich quick scheme by selling degrees at an absurd price to people who can barely grasp any of the already dumbed down materials?
For anyone watching, imo the reason they didn't get in is because the idea/ concept exists + doesn't seem genuine for a high school student to care about/ want to do this
The problem people don’t understand with technology is that 100% reliability is a must and the point between 95% and a 100 is more than the entire project and would take possibly decades
@@patates1165 I mean he clearly had a more humanitarian approach and his idea was rational and realistic. I would think that would be a deciding factor you know? oh well community college is cheaper anyways
@@devonteforemanyeah but what world are we in where this kid can't just walk into whatever college he wants. My high school didn't even have AP courses I don't think, let alone some kind of space to learn mechanical xD
@@potatotielIkr, it’s infuriating to know you have the abilities required but held down by everything external. To be disadvantaged and think of what life could’ve been hurts. Also, sorry you had to go through that
@@cinnamon3556 Nope it is a scientific fact that has been well documented and researched that the number one indicator for which college you'll go to, your average GPA and your SAT scores is wealth not intelligence. This guy may be smart, but maker portfolios like these are a display of massive privilege early on in life. Plenty of people could do this given the same access to resources.
It's not a competition- basically you can choose to submit a portfolio (which is a 2 minute video describing one of your STEM projects) as a part of the admissions process for MIT

He goes to Carnegie Mellon for mechanical engineering
Yea the watermelon university is definitely great at stem.

Wait u replied to yourself
@@InvictusCoachingyea
thank you!
you are welcome budy!
Thanks!
Love it when they reject candidates for "trying too hard"
Do they actually? lol
its cuz he white lol
he's not white..@@skatekr3wmonty
@@skatekr3wmonty gotta meet that racial quota
@@JapanesePiano1 MIT doesn't even have affirmative action though...
I don't see a reason to why they rejected you other than maintaining their yield ratio honestly. Great work!
yield ratio???
yield ratio? That doesn’t make sense as MIT is pretty much the best school in the world for engineering lol.

Well done bro. You’re brilliant
Great work bro, you'll do great ahead!

When a citrus gets declines that crazy
my team copied that intake pivot this year and it worked so well. no idea what I would've done without that design
This is very impressive! Great video.
Citrus Circuts damn!

How does one learn these skills in high school? Back in my day, there was no engineering. Only physics.
internet!
About 1 in 5 schools offer some type of robotics class/club.
@@avvery8593 The top 20%. Not my ghetto ass school where people strive to beat other kids up than to do this type of hobby
People who still believe they're gonna learn anything useful in high school make me laugh(in a "that's cute" kinda way but still).

That first project looked sick
Felipe, at what age did you start learning about 3d modeling and robotics? What programs or activities helped foster your learning?
My first experience with 3D modeling and 3D printing was at a summer camp in elementary school. I 3D designed and printed a fidget spinner haha.

keep going, want to see your description changed
I changed the description haha
Bro just start making videos like "stuff made here" and "i did a thing" you have a nice voice and editing
Bro congrats honestly. How do these guys learn these things? I know most of it is curiosity and trial-and-error but like when I was in high school I had no one same minded as me or If I wanted to apply to events and projects none of my teachers knew anything
When I was in high school I was dumping thousands of hours in overwatch , lol fuck me getting to masters wasn't worth it 🙃
why do u need people same minded
i have 0 friends and haven’t done anything on this level but ucsont need same minded friends to be productive and passionate about your interests
@@IsaiahsAnythingShowdont worry brother most people do that, these maker profolio vids are the top of the top at even mit

Maybe they that dude would drop out for sure 😂can’t believe this was rejected! Brilliant ideas
loved this
I do have a question,where can someone learn mechanical design s like he did
Great work.
For anyone watching, imo the reason they didn't get in is because the idea/ concept exists + doesn't seem genuine for a high school student to care about/ want to do this
nice to see your creations, no wonder you rejected mit. they didn't deserve you fr
Would you advise doing a Maker profile for MIT... and if so should I start learning Robotics?
If bro got rejected from MIT... I stand no chance xD
broooo Carnegie is cool too so BRAVO !!!
The problem people don’t understand with technology is that 100% reliability is a must and the point between 95% and a 100 is more than the entire project and would take possibly decades

I wonder why you got rejected? It’s just a brilliant as the other students that got accepted.
Youre very lucky that you had access to these types of resources and experiences in high school

How were you doing this when i was watching shinchan 😢😮
What is this competition?
It's not a competition- basically you can choose to submit a portfolio (which is a 2 minute video describing one of your STEM projects) as a part of the admissions process for MIT
Big brain
hey how far did your team finnish season as
if this guy is rejected, then im cooked
Bro MIT lost a good and hardworking person
Why rejected
Lockheed will happily have you 😉
Bro you don’t even need to go to school
i would say the lack of biological perspective on your medgami project might have become a no. and your first project was used in a competition
This is the guy who ticks "Hispanic" origin.
XD
What? no nuclear physics? rocket science? parents with full pockets? no wonder you were rejected
give huge donation. u don't need to make this
Start your own company they dont need you
i got in
MIT's loss
The real reason you got rejected is becuase you use onshape hehehe
cute
mit is overrated anyway :(
