<p>Please read the fine print that says that MIT will not match you unless you qualify for a full pell grant (so very low income).</p>
<p>Also be aware that you have to use your QB app for EA/RD if you apply for match... and probably even if you are just a finalist. (I haven't gone back to re-read that before posting here.)</p>
<p>You cannot use the MIT application.</p>
<p>Certainly some have been accepted at MIT with their QB app, but for me, it was not to my advantage.</p>
<p>Proceed with caution :-)</p>
<p>Can you talk a little more about your process of applying to mit through QB? What are some disadvantages of not using the Mit app? I know mit accepts a very small number of student through the match each year so i dont know if i should do QB or not. And also what is a full pell grant?</p>
<p>@Shinee9: apply with the QB form. First, you don’t have to pay the application fee. Second, you actually have one more chance. I was not matched on December 1, but I was admitted through EA on December 17(which is an option for people who are not matched, they can either apply EA or RA). MIT has very generous FA so do not worry about money.</p>
<p>Congrats on your MIT acceptance! How different is the QB app compared to MIT app, or common app?</p>
<p>@shinee9- the QB form has three ESSAYS, whereas the Common only has one essay. I am not sure about the MIT form, but I think there’s more than three essays. If you are applying to schools other than MIT, you may need BOTH the QB form and the Common, so be prepared.</p>
