Any cultural tips on getting along/working with Brazilian ppl?
This is not a criticism of Brazil or its ppl. Just a request for advice for an American student doing a year abroad in Brazil. Thanks.

How possible is it to me to get into MIT?
How possible is it to me to get into MIT?
Hello folks, As I'm planning to apply to MIT, I'm concerned about the university's requirements for applicants. I'm currently living in Brazil, so I should apply as an international student. Regarding the following SAT scores: 760 Math Level 2 780 Physics What are my chances of being accepted by the admissions office? Also, what can I do to improve my chances? Thanks in advance! Sandro

MIT acceptance rate is 10% and their international student population is under 8%. Even with your great SAT scores you still only have a slim chance of getting in.
2 :
Everyone applying to MIT has the highest grades in the hardest classes and very high test scores. You need that to get in, and then you need a lot more - science and math teams, original research, patents, experience in the field you're interested in, etc. Your test scores are average for MIT applicants and you didn't give any other information - your chances are less than 10%.
3 :
I think you should do Advanced Placement exams (check www.collegeboard.com) and Try doing any A-levels (if you can do that in your area). Contact the school(in M.I.T.) you want to enroll in and do what they tell you to.

if you work in Brazil, you're probabaly going to have to accept Brazil wages. We are...

What's an "american salary"? Brazil is inside America. Brazil is America. Not Europe, Asia, Africa or Oceania... Man, we are the 8th economy in the world. Our GDP is above 1 trillion dollars and you thing that brazilian wages are miserable? Some job areas as system analisys, advertsing, telecommunication engineering, and others may to earn more than US$ 7,000/month. A volleyball player, deputy, judge, general mannager and others, US$ 10,000 to US$ 20,000/month. A director, soccer player, TV Host, news anchor, actor, plastic surgeons and some others, more than US$ 30,000 to US$ 300,000. Some TV stars, earn more than 1 million dollars/month! Some predident, CEO and high executives, more than 2 million dollars/month!!! Do you need more??

To work in Brazil, you need a Permanent Visa. Getting such Visa is not easy because, like most countries, Brazilian legislation attempts to protect the nationals. A Visa application must be accompanied by documents showing that a national could not take the job; the Ministers of Justice and Labor must approve the Visa. The job and salary you will get will depend on your abilities. In Brazil, no one can be paid in dollars; you will have to be paid in Reais. I heard that some companies pay salaries in dollars deposited in the US; I think that this is legal, as long as payments are declared and taxes are paid.

POLL: should I go to Brazil during or after New Years?
POLL: should I go to Brazil during or after New Years?
I'm a college student planning on going to brazil for 2 weeks during my winter break from school. Usually break is from mid december to end of january. I'm being pressured by my family in brazil to come the day after christmas, but I'm not sure if i want to spend new years down there, even though where im going in brazil has a beautiful new years and itll be summer there when its winter here. December is a little busy for me with the holidays going on and seeing family and friends you havent seen for months. I figured id go in january when things calm down but tickets might be a little more expensive. so what do you think, screw it and party hard in brazil or balance my vacation out and go after new years?
