Their admissions folders, MIT doesn't have much to speak of more than that prior to matriculation. This would have been for the academic year 1988-9 I think; I don't remember how we came to this conclusion, just that it was self-evident. Hmmm, for that matter, as a member of the class of '83, I too don't remember explicitly telling them that.... Or maybe I'm misremembering this, it was a quarter century ago; my friend interacted with a large fraction of the undergraduates (EECS) and would through that have gotten a rough but good picture of this sort of thing over the years. But I'm pretty sure I remember us going through some paper files and coming to this conclusion.
