Ben O. '19, avatar of MIT Admissions blogger Benjamin Oberlton.

Benjamin Oberlton '19, a biological engineering major (Course 20), began writing for the MIT Admissions blog in 2015. 

My writing can turn out to be very curious, very random, but nevertheless always trying to find some sort of point, answer, or solution in a way that may not come off as conventional...my interest for blogging and writing stem from the MIT Class of 2019 Facebook page oddly enough. It was there that I found I enjoyed sharing my stories...It was here on these admissions blogs that I truly fell in love with the school, so it is here that I hope to one day inspire someone somewhere that MIT truly is one of the most amazing places on this oh so amazing planet.
