<p>I got into MITES!!!</p>

<p>I'm so happy and excited! My dream is to go to Harvard University. Does going to MITES mean I have a very high chance of going to Harvard?</p>

<p>Some stats:
I'm 1st in my class
30 ACT (probs go up to 33/34)
I'm super involved in my school (president of at least 3 clubs, founded a club, won lots of awards/ first in my state for writing contests)
I have only ever gotten one B (B+) What scares me is I might get another B, but besides that I have all As</p>

<p>If anyone knows what MITES is like, please tell me about it! I'm really excited and would like to know what my summer will be like. I know its a lot of work, but I'm prepared to work and be challenged :)</p>

<p>So, does going to MITES increase my chances of getting into Harvard? I know MITES is even more selective than the actual harder university (7% to 4%)</p>

<p>Also, does going to MITES mean you are one of the smartest kids in the nation? Is MITES the most prestigious summer program in the nation (next to RSI)?</p>

<p>Any and all advice is appreciated :)</p>

<p>no. it proves that you have a passion, but Harvard and other similar schools don’t care about how hard it is to get into summer programs. TASP is a perfect example; the kids get into HYPSM because they’re brilliant, not because they went to TASP. The same likely goes for MITES. It just shows that you have a passion.</p>

<p>If you get in, it won’t be because you attended a summer program.</p>
