We dive into the academic pressure of MIT’s pass/fail system, the challenges of an accelerated coding course, and the reality of managing sports, research, and social life all at once. Stone also talks about his work on a rocket team, his involvement in a NASA challenge, and the importance of showing genuine passion in college applications. If you're curious about what it really takes to succeed—and stay grounded—at MIT, this episode is for you.
