With Early Decision and Early Action deadlines inching closer, many seniors already have their applications prepared.

One of these seniors is Alex Matsoukas; he details what he anticipates for college. Matsoukas said, “For the early action, I’m applying to MIT. I like its location, it’s relatively close, but it’s also in the city and there’s lots of science that goes on in Boston, you know. There’s lots of opportunities.”

“I like the school’s dedication to rigor. I think it’s good. I just wanna take some challenging classes, and research, of course.”

“I’m most looking forward to, you know, the whole experience. Living with a roommate, taking classes, majoring in something specialized, doing what interests me the most.”
