<p>Hi, I am south Korean junior who has lived in usa for 3 yrs</p>
<p>I have been interested in MIT for its excellence math, and surprised that it offers scholarship also for international student and is generous for foreign students in admission....(I heard so, I might be wrong) </p>
<p>Currently we have literally NO income( i don't wanna go in detail cuz its complicated and hard to understand and talk about it)I tried to use EFC but I dn't know like our house value and my parents tuition fee in their colleges, etc etc....
Any way, I don't know whether they have any bond, land, or other property...so my question is:
1) Do higher classes of math( i am taking calc BC and got A on Calc AB class, 5 on AP test) and science(AP Bio 5 by self studying, currently taking AP Chem and AP physics) give you better chance for acceptance(and does 'when you took class' affect it)? </p>
<p>2) I took sat and got 2120, and already took sat II math(800), chemistry(800), and physics(730-got it was hard because my teacher sucks!) Is it acceptable for MIT?</p>
<p>3) I heard rumor that MIT doesn't look at sat score if I exceed certain range. True or False?</p>
<p>4) Anyway to have 4 yrs of scholarship?( I heard that MIT gives 'away' 4 yrs scholarship to foreign kids if they are accepted and enrolled, which I think as bullcrap)</p>
<p>5) Does MIT highly value math competitions?</p>
<p>I will be very happy to hear answers beside being given links of general infos(it would be better if foreign students answer for me!)</p>
Yes. You can also take the TOEFL, if you prefer, instead of the SAT I. Since English isn’t your first language, MIT only cares that you are proficient enough to do well in classes taught in English.</p>
<p>
It’s not that they don’t look at it at all. But MIT is mostly looking at SAT scores to show that a student can handle the work at MIT. Your SAT II scores will obviously show that you’re capable.</p>
<p>
MIT meets full financial need for all students, domestic or international, for all four years of college. How much money you are awarded depends on your parents’ income and property, so you’ll need to get all of their financial information to get an accurate idea of how much aid you will be awarded. All of MIT’s financial aid is need-based, not merit-based.</p>
<p>No, and you don’t even have to use score choice unless you specifically want to – if you send more than one of a particular test, MIT will only use the highest score achieved in your evaluation.</p>
<p>It depends when the scores come out – the admissions office generally goes into selection committee in mid-February. I think that AMC scores typically come out too late for consideration senior year.</p>
<p>oh i am junior; juniors take amc 12, too…
and Molliebatmit, thank you for your many kind responses. Are you MIT student or do you have any relations to MIT?</p>
<p>when you applied to MIT, did you use any other tips/info from other resources that might help you being accepted to MIT? once my sister said that infos in college website isn’t enough…I wonder that’s the case for MIT as welll?(my sis is in other college).</p>
<p>And did you have to do bunch of ap scicne and math in your high school time?</p>
<p>No, you do not need to do a bunch of specific courses to get into MIT. That being said, MIT, like most competitive schools admits students based on the match between the school and the student (see [The</a> Match Between You And MIT | MIT Admissions](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/match]The”>What we look for | MIT Admissions)). One of the characteristics for students that match well with MIT is that these students like to challenge themselves. Therefore, MIT admissions expects you to be taking the toughest classes that your High School offers. If you go to a school that does not offer AP-classes, or A-levels, or the Abitur, or the IB, then not having any of these things will not hurt your application. However, if your school did offer these things, and you elected not to take these classes, then that would hurt your application a lot.</p>
