At the risk of endangering my blue collar roots, years ago, I had an approved application to MIT, prior to the interview phase.

I got the MIT Catalog in the mail, and right there among the Student Activities section was Students for a Democratic Society (if you don't know what that is/was, do some Googling).

I thought about it, called up, canceled my interview, and told them I had selected another school.

Scary to think that they are the conservative ones now, though I am sure that MIT gets a large part of their money through Government funded research.
