<p>*His dream has always been to go to MIT, but we’re not sure his grades (which aren’t great) will allow that. What other small to mid-size colleges should we be considering? He tests pretty well most of the time and got a 5 on the AP Computer Science exam as a freshman, but we have no idea how he’ll do on the SAT or ACT. *</p>
<p>Tell your son that he needs top, top, top grades and test scores for MIT…and even then it’s very hard to get in. MIT only accepts 10% of applicants.</p>
<p>90% are in the top 10% of their class</p>
<p>Test Scores of the 2 middle quartile of students</p>
<p>Middle 50% of First-Year Students </p>
<p>SAT Critical Reading: 670 - 760<br>
SAT Math: 740 - 800
SAT Writing: 670 - 770
ACT Composite: 32 - 35 </p>
<p>As you can see, the test scores of MIT students are very high. </p>

<p>What state are you in?</p>
<p>What is your budget? How much can you spend each year on college?</p>
<p>Did your son take the PSAT as a sophomore?</p>
