I have a friend that got into MIT and another friend that got defered. The people looking at the applications really dont care about the essay, they care more about people that are creative and think outside the box.
The friend that got in didn't even write an essay. He just sent in a picture of a guided missile that he made and the Z80 assembly language that made it run.
The other friend talked about some program he was working on that did some crazy shit with OpenGL and fractals and mendlebrot <spelling??> sets.
So, if you think your w1k1d 1337 watercooling rig can compete with that, go for it. May I suggest, before you take a picture, add in a bunch of cool LEDs and UV lights and paint everything with UV paint. Everybody knows that UV paint is 1337.
