What is your class rank? Your math score is great, but I’d consider re-taking the SAT so you can get the others in the mid-to-high 700s. Good luck to you
The big thing you have going for you is you are a girl. The accept rate for girls at MIT is double that for boys as they get significantly fewer female applicants. The admit rate is about 13% for females, 6% for males.
The math score is the most important for MIT and you are perfect there.
I don’t think a brother with special needs gives your application any special merit. But you have a shot.
Good luck
My eldest daughter attends. She didn’t take any APs because her school phased them out. Btw there is no formula, my younger daughter did not get admitted. The key difference between both girls was research my older one pursued in the summers while in high school.
First of all you are a very strong candidate for great schools like Cornell, Tufts,and U Michigan, maybe even Penn. Congrats for doing so well in high school. You could get into MIT, but I wouldn’t put money on it. I am actually saying this to be kind. I don’t want to blow sunshine that will likely disappoint. I encourage you to really make the most of the application process: upload supplemental research, have an amazing interview, write brilliant, original and insightful essays, comment on their blogs. If my telling you that you’re a weak candidate for MIT pisses you off and makes you want to prove me wrong, and you go out there and take the SAT again, and get another letter of rec, and add new information, new activities, etc. well then you are exactly MIT material. Now let them see that! All the best to you. I hope all of your dreams come true this admissions season.
Hi everyone. This is really late. I just wanted to say thank you! I was accepted to MIT but will be attending Harvard next fall with an ROTC scholarship!
AWESOME!
