melike has decided I graduated this year. Most of the jobs I find on Monster are looking for 2-5 years of experience. My uncle says to ignore that and apply anyway.
Yay, I've got nothing to lose.

My choice: Apply anyway (shamelessly), and ask in the cover letter if there are entry-level positions available. or something.

Apply anyways and don't ask. Being a student at MIT often translates to said experience, as do UROPs; with the level of experience I got in my field I was more than qualified for my position.

The 2-5 years' experience ones often are the entry-level ones. Ignore that line unless it's above 5 (and then feel free to ignore it anyway).

("You can't get hired for a job you don't apply for." Though you can not get hired at a lot of jobs you do apply for.) ...also, go to any upcoming MIT career fairs and work them hard; they're much more likely to be recruiting for entry-level positions there.

I'm don't think I'd call attention to your shortcomings in a cover letter, but it's perfectly fine to apply for jobs that don't quite match you.
