How will the pandemic affect MIT admission this year?

as usual skieurope is right

Has there been any change in the interview process/schedule? I know MIT doesn’t interview everyone, just wondering about timing. My kid applied EA and hasn’t heard anything but others at his school were contacted last week. In previous years it seems like kids were contacted right around the time applications were due…

Should he reach out to admissions? Or just not worry about it?

My D submitted her app about 10 pm on the last day and received an email from her interviewer before 8 am the next day. That tells me no one looked at her app and decided she was “worthy” of an interview.

I’d relax and not worry about an interview.

SAT scores will be less important, but GPA will be more in my opinion, because it really shows how you can deal with stressful situations and still do what you have to do.
