I have heard from graduate MIT students that MIT keeps undergraduates at a certain level on purpose so as not to discourage the students who are not as gifted.
I think MIT rejected his project because in the beginning of the video he mentioned that he used to make Minecraft mods in 6th grade using Java script Probably it means that MIT doesn't accept someone who has played video games But I appreciate this guy's efforts and skills , though he got rejected but one day he will succeed in career
Well, there are many factors that go into their decision and honestly, after the whole admission process, I do not think the maker portfolio is a big driving factor. Also, nationality might also have an effect there. Nevertheless, it was worth trying!
That's insane. You literally have to be freaking tony stark genius prodigy just get into MIT. I just graduated with a masters in Electrical Engineering and Physics and some of these MIT maker portfolios would even have me struggling now and that's just in strictly in the electrical hardware portion. Dude keep it up your going to go far in this world, there's very few people with drive and passion to change the world and even fewer people with the knowledge to do it.
Not at all, there’s just too many people for 1 university so they filter people out even geniuses if they don’t stand out on certain criteria’s (which are not their field related and subjective) and rest is luck. The only requirement you need is to be academically well and have good problem solving and reasoning capabilities, which are earned through practice and experience. But not getting selected still is the above reasons I mentioned.
Don't let the fact that you got rejected prevent you from doing what you love! This portfolio shows that you are an incredibly gifted individual that is eager to learn new stuff. That alone will get you extremely far in life! Best of luck! 💪
This is super strong, and you would obviously do very well at MIT. The problem I see: this video is not digestible. It's hard for me to really understand _what_ you built and _why_ you built it. An AO might watch this video and be impressed, but not really know why they are impressed. Not sure if this makes sense, but I wanted to add my two cents in case it might help anyone.
I can see why, though it's not because of their qualifications. It's that the video didn't go beyond a CV, whereas it should focus on the process/motivation: what was the original problem, why did you want to improve/solve it, how did you go from 0 to finished product, what did you learn/what would you improve in future iterations.
extremely impressive, I've seen so many maker portfolios that were worse than yours yet they got in. A shame it is, you're a gem I believe you got a great future ahead of you.
I've seen some pretty underwhelming portfolios accepted; yours is much better in comparison. I can't understand what they're thinking when they review someone's portfolio. You've even interned and wrote whitepapers while the other portfolios didn't.
Başarıların devamını dilerim hocam, kendini Horizon EU( eski adıyla HORIZON 2020 ) projelerine adamanı öneririm. Tabii buradaki projelerde yer alabilmen için konsorsiyumlarda söz sahibi olabilmen için bir firmada çalışıyor olman lazım ya da bir firma sahibi :) Yaşın ilerledikçe doğru bir fikir üzerinden startup kurup daha sonrasında hibelenen projelere kendini adarsan çok başarılı ve zevkli bir yaşantı sürebilirsin bence. Veyahut bir firmada AR&GE departmanında görevli olarak step,step yükselerek. ( herkesin kendi hayali vardır ve özeldir bu yazdıklarım sadece sana ekstra bakış açısı kazandırmak içindi, kolay gelsin )
selam, ben çok beğendim. MIT kaybetmis. gördüğüm kadarıyla TU Dresden de okuyorsun. almanyadaki TU9 larda çok iyi. kafanı yorma. ich wunsche dir viel erfolg. ciao!
With that resume, you could work at any tech company for a mid 6 digit salary without even having to go to MIT. Trust me. I work in Tech Consulting. I do not have a college degree and worked my way up just like you did, although none of my projects were even remotely as impressive as yours. You'll do great in whatever you do because you have an insane problem solving ability. People are willing to pay a lot of money for that.
Pretty nice. Still good enough to get into most Tier 1 schools. Better not study in USA unless your parents are loaded. The student loans are just a scam.
You have more chance to enter MIT as a visually impaired kid who's above average in studies than as a very smart kid who designs protractors for the visually impaired.
Hocam selam ben bu sene ytüde elektronik ve haberleşme mühendisliğine başladım bu makerlık olay çok ilgimi çekti bununla ilgili bir video çeker misin ?
i don't get why everyone's trying to say that this was unfair, it's not at all that impressive, like minecraft mods rlly? people are cluelessly too nice these days lmfao
rejection is redirection. Although this is a year late, i hope you realized that you dont need MIT to be great. you might already know this. anyways... stay up
Its like when a movie is obviously grammy bait and thats why they didnt choose ya. its waay to forced. also the bit of python i saw was not impressive.
![Liong Ma MIT Maker Portfolio [Accepted]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EJtl-fRrP3k/mqdefault.jpg)
as an mit student I can say you are a much better maker than the average mit student and the university took a big L by not taking u
@@its_jvyn what portfolio, wait is that the joke or something?
You are not an mit student, mit students dont waste time on youtube videos you liar
@@ukissrulez OK buddy
@@its_jvyn then why asking someone to see it?
I have heard from graduate MIT students that MIT keeps undergraduates at a certain level on purpose so as not to discourage the students who are not as gifted.
Insane how not only intelligent but determined and creative you are! You'll do great in the career of your choosing
Unfortunate that this was rejected but this was very impressive nonetheless. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for the good wishes :)

If that's true thats a weird reason for rejection. People have their pastimes!@@TwistyTurnyy1053
if this was rejected we don't stand a chance 😭
Probably because (it seems that) he's international

Life's funny, you never know how a setback might inadvertently set you up for greater success down the line. Keep at it. Great stuff!

great job dude, don't stop here!
This is beyond impressive. I feel like such an underachiever now :)
Can’t imagine what was accepted. There were some very advanced processes highlighted in this.
I can see why, though it's not because of their qualifications.

Some guy designed a rocket nozzle and that got accepted.
this is positively insane bro
Tha's genuinely impressive, well done !
extremely impressive, I've seen so many maker portfolios that were worse than yours yet they got in. A shame it is, you're a gem I believe you got a great future ahead of you.
I got my phd in physics from ucla, youre too good for mit my dood, keep up the good work
Whatever school you go to, you'll make a big impact
this is mad impressive, im in my 3rd year and struggling on basic projects, good job👍
Yolun açık olsun dostum eminim çok başarılı olacaksın
I’m 24 and in my 2nd semester of software dev. Watching all these is hella demotivating I struggle with what ya taught yourself as a kid
You're awesome dude. Would love to work with you one day
abi başarılar diliyorum sakın pes etme
this is incredible
goodluck my guy
dirt to diamond you are fucking amazing
This inspired me to give up coding, thank you
I am curious about your final decision for the college. Please keep us updated!
You are amazing 🎉
Helal olsun kardeşim. Gurur duydum.
MIT admissions department, you've got some explaining to do!
Sick Video
that TUD sweater :D
You've got what it takes.
Wow youll go far without them man! Keep it up, their loss!
Nice presentation. :)
I've seen some pretty underwhelming portfolios accepted; yours is much better in comparison. I can't understand what they're thinking when they review someone's portfolio. You've even interned and wrote whitepapers while the other portfolios didn't.
Awesome 🔥
Impressive my man
keep up the good work burakcım.

good job, i guess. Sorry you didn’t get in.
MIT was probably just worried you'd out-perform their professors, that's why you didn't get accepted. Keep up the grind!
I'm so glad I'm not one of the people denying/accepting these. There is some real talent not being accepted.
thought this was a cer spence video by the thumbnail
selam,
ben çok beğendim. MIT kaybetmis. gördüğüm kadarıyla TU Dresden de okuyorsun. almanyadaki TU9 larda çok iyi. kafanı yorma.
ich wunsche dir viel erfolg. ciao!
You're great
I would love to see a Turkish student at MIT
This is sick, I dont understand why this gets rejected. Did they give you feedback or anything for the reason why it got rejected?
amazing

Seni de rejectledilerse Burak boşver belkide doğru seçenek değil demek :D
Just wait until @lockheedmartin gets a hold of you
Best way to improve is to get used to rejections. Better luck next year 🥳👌
Good luck in next year or an other university.
bro you dont need mit, they need you
how can i learn to do any of these stuff this is beyond impressive
just start off by searching up how to do things you find cool or interesting
Nuts!
MIT gonna regret not taking you
If bro got rejected... I stand no chance xD
Careful rejecting talent , it is the stuff super villains are made of.
it's hella cool
Your rejection has to be related to the fact you did not show anything hands on with you interacting with your designs
MIT de tankla girilecekler listesine eklendi
were you deferred or just straight up rejected?
I feel so bad watchings those videos.
Its cause of school diversity standards your a king and they dont want you to succeed 👑
hey Burak, 17yr old from Maryland here. can you recommend resources and textbooks for a self-learner?
help me fight for the light of consciousness!
This got rejected?? Yeah I'm not getting in anywhere
Olamamış ama olsun hocam. Umarım başarılı olursun
Where are you now?
ya aga bu portfolyoyla kabul etmemelerinin sebebini açıklamadılar mı bi yazsadın keşke
Subbed
looks like you are reading up
its unfortunate that u got rejected but I think international students have even smaller chance then the US based ones
i'm sorry for breathing the same air as u bro 🙏
Pretty nice. Still good enough to get into most Tier 1 schools. Better not study in USA unless your parents are loaded. The student loans are just a scam.
They messed up by not accepting you
Onların kaybı olmuş reyiz sıkma canını. Türkiyede lisans seviyesindeki eğitim fena değil raad ol.
selam Burak, öncelikle gerçekten güzel maker portfolio. Rejecting nedeni var mıydı? Bir de diğer faktörler (sat filan) nasıldı?
Your accent is nice lol
Dude stop kidding you were applying to be a teacher or what
Failed? Huh... Guess he's just like me.
You have more chance to enter MIT as a visually impaired kid who's above average in studies than as a very smart kid who designs protractors for the visually impaired.
cmon man.. im an industrial designer.. so i am average?
Hocam selam ben bu sene ytüde elektronik ve haberleşme mühendisliğine başladım bu makerlık olay çok ilgimi çekti bununla ilgili bir video çeker misin ?
The hand thing camera, its already invented, copium
their loss budd
If this guy got rejected my ass has no chance😂
😅
Rejected?
abi sesin ingilizce listening gibi :D
hey nice, what team in frc?
during the scouting section you can see 6838
FRC goated
Like others pointed out, 6838 X-SHARC from Istanbul :)
what is maker portfolio?
emek verip emeğinin karşılığını alamamak nasıl hissettiriyor?
mit'e girmesede emeginin karsiligini alacak mit'ten kabul alamadi diye emegi cope mi gitmis olucak
i don't get why everyone's trying to say that this was unfair, it's not at all that impressive, like minecraft mods rlly? people are cluelessly too nice these days lmfao
That was the first thing he did while in 6th grade. The copium is suffocating lmao.
He was talking about his first experience with making things, of course it's not going to be the most advanced. Also he was in 6th grade.
Türkleri almamayı çok seviyorlar kanka ya

Abi merhaba, ben 10. sınıfa geçiyorum ve mit'de fizik okumak istiyorum. Bunu okuyorsan tavsiyelerini söyleyebilir misin ?

You shouldn't waste your time and money with education.
