Probably a combination of the internet, maybe school library or the books she has at home and help from teachers and parent as well as what she learned as school, even though it's probably not deep enough to do those projects, it helps as well. The important thing is to never tell yourself you cannot do something and set your project goals without taking in account what you can and can't do, then figure out what you need to learn and go and fetch the information and data in the sources cited earlier.
Or not lol my focus and research is in microwave antenna design and I hate signals and systems. Electro magnetics and wireless propagation is where it’s at.
@@nikeoreo I am in signals and systems/ emag now. Can confirm emag is interesting but I absolutely hate how there’s a billion different variables with a billion different equations. Signals is mid
Wow, CONGRATS, MIT is one of my dream schools, did you have to do coding to do any of these projects? If so, what type and what project suggestions could I do that does not involve coding?
So this is the famous foam floater girl that I've been hearing about so much... oh dear... With all the other portfolios that I've seen that have been rejected, where they actually made incredible and noteworthy stuff, I can pretty much say that I agree... diversity hire indeed.... To this day, I'm still pissed about fact that they rejected the kid that made the whole circuit logic simulation program and compiled it with his own compiler, yet they accept rich kids such as this one that make absolute trash.
Mostly through trial-and-error! I didn't really know what I was doing the majority of the time, I just knew I was interested. I read so many books, and honestly watched alot of helpful youtube video tutorials! MIT OCW is also a great tutorial -- lots of online classes and materials are free for everyone online!
@@stabgan to be a successful engineer you have to make connections and be communicative. The hiring process comes down to ‘Do I want to work with this person?’
@@painfullyhuman There were numerous other profiles that are massively more impressive and unique than this that got rejected, she is a diversity hire from a rich liberal family. MIT right now is disgusting.
Congratulations on your acceptance. I watched your video for the first time the second day you posted it and thought that they have to accept you. Do you mind if you share your stats with me, too? My email address: anaskhaled74@gmail.com Thank you in advance, Alisa!
Hi Alisa, enjoyed your video, and congrats on all your accomplishments! I'm also planning to apply. Do you mind sharing your stats with me too? lego.r.ramachandran@gmail.com is my email, thank you!
When you’re provided with all this opportunity by your parents, and most likely the culture in your household that is what makes your success so much easier. Congratulations tho, because despite people also having all of that it’s hard to get into an ivy league school like MIT
You're right -- I do feel very lucky to be where I am today, and that's definitely thanks to my parents, teachers, and friends. And thank you for the kind words :)
Hmmm I don’t get why the first thing you brought up is her success being “easier”. Getting into MIT is insanely hard and even with privilege you have to be very smart to get in. She worked her tail off, nothing was easy for her
Saying the word “easier” makes it seem as though you’re negating her accomplishments. Of course, she has the privilege to do what she wants (and make the really cool stuff that she built) but her accomplishments aren’t a result of her privilege, but a result of her hard work. Being rich or having a supportive family doesn’t mean that you’ll have the passion to work on your own projects on your own time and build things out of interest. Also, you don’t know anything about her household culture and how it could have affected her, and I don’t either, so it doesn’t really make sense to draw conclusions based on that. I’m sure that a good amount of applicants come from similar socioeconomic level as her but lack the amount of passion and drive she seems to have.
1:47 😆😆😆😆😆😆 patch antenna, like literally an antenna, you can analytically calculate using online calculators at least for low-frequency antenna design, but hey, I like to see young people getting into this shit, BTW, what is your research area now?
