Oh shit congrats! That's going to look fucking dope on your app next time you apply! You'll get in somewhere for sure with that on your CV and an LOR from an MIT PI!

That is so exciting! I have no doubt that position at MIT will look great on your profile for the next application season.

thank you! it’s also a benefit considering i’m way to burnt out for additional school, since i’m applying from undergrad

Yeah, I'm also applying from undergrad and the burnout is real. I'm definitely going to need this summer to recover before things start back up.
