Apply MIT through QuestBridge?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>My family is low income and I am first generation to attend college, but I am not sure whether QB application can reflect myself. I participated in many math and physics contests but not much "regular" extracurricular activities (sport, leadership, etc.). QB seems to overlook these (while MIT app asks my AMC and AIME scores and provides enough space for achievements in math). Does MIT prefer students who are high-achieve in math and science than those who are well-rounded? Do I need to apply MIT through QB or just by MIT itself's early action?</p>

<p>Another question: Can I update my test score after QB's 9/30 deadline?</p>

<p>Both! Neither! MIT doesn’t have only one type of student they take, as far as interests go (they do in the sense of “students should be smart, creative, motivated, etc”, but there are many ways to show that).</p>
