Deferred

[expect_the_impossible6]

<p>I got deferred from MIT; nonetheless, it's still my first choice. Two things I suspect on my application are very weak: SAT and grades.</p>

<p>SAT
When I submitted the application to MIT, I had a very low SAT score. I retook it in Dec., and my score went up 110 points. Will this help me?</p>

<p>GRADES
I transferred to a more academically rigorous school last year. My grades slipped from 4.0 to 3.8. My counselor explained this situation in his letter.
Now, as a senior, I got 4 Bs in AP courses and As in AP Calculus and three non-weighed courses. How bad is this? How much does a bad mid-year report bring down my chance? Is it significant? Or it is no big deal?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>On the SAT it depends, what was your original score? Obviously a 110 point jump will help tho (but apparently it matters in which subjects as writing doesnt count...)</p>

<p>As far as the midyear report</p>

<p>For EA it doesnt matter, at all. However for RD itll defiantly be viewed and seen, but its not going to be weighed more than other grades.</p>
