Hello,
Please visit my site at reallife.lv and see if you can help.
No popup's, ads or porno (yep, I know, I should add some :D)
And just maybe - please comment if there are any improvements I could make.

Have you contacted MIT on this situation? Surely spamming on forums isnt the proper way of raising funding for your education..

You know, I was actually READING that, thinking that's cool, we should help a fellow member out in any way we can.

Then I looked at his post count......ugggh!

Go spam somewhere else.

Okay, it's spam.
But - offtopic as well.
And the problem is that yes - I can get from MIT funding necessary to STUDY,
but there is no point if I'm not there.

And I cannot get there do easly, since my salary is some 500$ usd per month, I have to help family too, etc...
Life is hard here...
just like elsewhere.

Why don't you go to school in Latvia and then go to grad school at MIT? If you pick the right undergraduate discipline (engineering), work really hard, and do really well, MIT may waive your tuition and give you a stipend. Also, I know you can take the GRE overseas, so I'm surprised you can't take the SAT.

Anyway, good luck. No offense, but I don't send money to individual charity cases, especially over the internet. What happens to the money you collect if you don't collect enough? Maybe you collect the money and decide to hold onto $4k in US dollars, which according to your site is what you make in 8 months.

getting into MIT is your single biggest hurdle..

scoring 90% on the SAT isn't gonna be good enough.

IF (and that's the single biggest problem you face) you get in, you would probably be eligible for financial assistance (loans, grants)

your bulls!tting everyone when you claim you have to come to the US to take the SAT.

there are SAT test sites within latvia (Vilnius or Riga) at the Universities.
if not, their are sites all over the rest of europe.....

this guy is not legit, and he is a bullsh!tter in my opinion..just panhandling for cash

Here's a bump from a current MIT student. Don't worry about the funds too much, MIT takes care of its students nicely, financial aid is plenty if you really need it. Good luck to ya :)

I'm confused. You have already been accepted to MIT and yet you still have to take the SAT?

SAT scores aren't enough -- nor is your ability to code already. MIT wants something exceptional in the research world before you attend. Better solution -- go to undergrad somewhere in latvia for cheap, grad @ MIT.

Um.

If I was able to study at MIT, i SURE AS FVCK WOULDNT BE LOOKING AT THE MONEY SITUATION. that you can take care of later.

then again, my cousin went to MIT, and then went to work for a church, so i might not be the best source of advice here.

Yay a new user to the site begging for money. Where do I sign up. That couldn't be a scam.

Anyway....
[just keep on living as homo vulgaris in some miserable third world country without any future. It?s up to you.]
Its not up to me at all. Its up to you. Instead of chosing to work hard and earn the money to your own way you've chosen to beg for handouts. If you want to go that badly you should put out the work required to go there. I work full time to put myself through school and its still a real struggle. Stay in Latvia.

Works as a software analyst/developer/programmer.

Have seen Java, C++ and manuals for Oracle software.

Pretends to know all of the above and a bit more. Sometimes successfully.




WTF?? Go away.

If you can't figure out better ways to get money than spamming web forums then you are definitely too dumb to study at MIT.


Edit:

And just to be clear...anyone who gives you money on the slight chance that you will be accepted by MIT is clinically insane. I know US high school class valedictorians who got 1550+ on their SAT and could pay their own way entirely and were still rejected by MIT.

Straight out of undergrad as ChemE class valedictorian, I might have been able to get in...

As it is, 4 years later with a ton of solid engineering experience under my belt...I didn't get in to MIT for a PhD in ChemE...and I was my graduating class valedictorian in ChemE!!

But I did get into a couple other top ten schools and I chose Carnegie-Mellon because I'm really interested in computer science.

<-- going to CMU in the fall for ChemE
