From Legos to Labs: How Vineet Built His Way to MIT
Vineet Saravanan’s path to MIT is proof that storytelling can often speak more to admissions than résumés stacked with activities — they want evidence of depth, personality, and persistence. From Legos to robotics to published biomedical research, Vineet showed he wasn’t a dabbler; he went all in. And when it came time for essays, he leaned into something unexpected — weightlifting — to show discipline and versatility beyond academics. His story offers students a roadmap for standing out: go deep where it matters, let your quirks come through, and build an application that feels like it could only belong to you.
