<p>Come on People!!</p>

<p>that gpa is really gonna hurt…=[</p>

<p>I think you need 2 recs. One from science/math and one from english/humanities/foreign language.</p>

<p>Maybe he could find a way, over the summer, to demonstrate his passion for math and/or science (the EPGY courses he took are good indicators, but based off of his ECs, I can’t really tell why this kid wants to go to MIT). Oh, and he should try to get a 4.0 first semester senior year, because the 3.3 as it stands may hurt him.</p>

<p>MIT is 1 math teacher 1 science teacher rec, no?</p>

<p>Nope, one math or science teacher, one humanities teacher.</p>

<p>They want one math and one science subject test. I’m pretty sure you want to split the recs up.</p>

<p>^I think you have to split the recs up. MIT and Caltech are pretty unique (maybe UChicago?) in that they require one humanities and one science/math.</p>

<p>that U gpa is very low</p>

<p>His SAT is probably the only strong point in his application</p>

<p>ECs are not very strong</p>

<p>Any hooks? URM, legacy, athlete?</p>
