My subject tests are 590 and 630. I finished school in 2013 and started studying at the university (which i left after 2 years due to some reasons). So, do i have any chances to get into with such scores?
No. Probably not. Unless you have very compelling achievements. You haven’t described any. Your reasons for leaving school might be relevant. If you left because you were selected to go to the space satellite, maybe. But if you left school for personal/relationship/mental health reasons, probably does not help you. Why not select a more realistic option?
Thanks for answer! Writing this i just wanted to mention that in fact i have not learned math and physics for a long time.
@Doge2337 Are you applying to MIT as an undergrad transfer? Have you looked at MIT’s General Institute Requirements (GIRs)?
@MITer94
I’m applying as a first year student.
@Doge2337:
Did you complete two terms (semesters) of college?
If so, then you must apply as a transfer.
See: http://mitadmissions.org/apply/transfer/faqs
But, as MITer94 advised, I would look at the General Institute Requirements. Then ask yourself why you really want to apply to MIT.
@jpm50
but i’m not attending any college, i left it without finishing. Am i eligible for transferring in this case?
Were you enrolled in a college for 2 or more semesters? If so, then you must apply as a transfer and not as a freshman.
Why are you applying to MIT? Why does it meet your needs more than other schools?
And what are you doing to make sure your academic profile is at least competitive?
@jpm50 OP said he left university after 2 years, so I guess that would count him/her as a transfer? Not sure.
@Doge2337 Listen to jpm50’s suggestions. MIT has a pretty rigorous math/science general requirement, including 2 semesters of calculus (18.01, 18.02 or equivalent), 2 semesters of physics (8.01, 8.02 or equivalent), and one semester each of biology and chemistry. Low subject test scores in itself doesn’t look great.
What are you planning on majoring in?
The question on transfers is not whether you were taking university courses. I have met a number of first year freshman applicants who have taken at least one university course. I have even met one freshman applicant who took nothing but university courses in his final term of secondary school. MIT admissions is quite clear on the website that “If you are still in high school, you are considered a freshman applicant regardless of how many classes you may have taken at the university level.” (http://mitadmissions.org/apply/transfer/faqs)
However, if you have enrolled in a degree-granting program at a university, then you are no longer a freshman applicant.
@MITer94
I want to major in physics.
@Doge2337 can you retake your subject tests? 590 and 630 aren’t very competitive scores.
Seems like the OP is supplying almost no information, almost baiting respondents, despite the efforts others have made to inform the OP. When others put in more effort than the OP, that speaks volumes.
@MITer94 unfortunately no, i missed the registration deadline.
Doge2337, what is your point posting here? You have not answered most of the questions and have not provided information. Is this entertaining for you?
@Doge2337 Sorry, but I don’t think you can get in with those scores alone.
@lostaccount
I thought I provided full information. I have no idea what to add. I have not answered for all of the questions, because I don’t know what to answer.
@Doge2337 Here are some of the questions that you have not answered:
Why not suggest a more realistic option? (@lostaccount)
Have you looked at MIT’s General Institute Requirements (GIRs)? (me)
Did you complete two terms (semesters) of college? (@jpm50)
Why are you applying to MIT? Why does it meet your needs more than other schools?
And what are you doing to make sure your academic profile is at least competitive? (all by jpm50)
These are all very good questions that you should ask yourself before applying (as a transfer, I assume). Because right now, none of us know anything and 590/630 on the subject tests alone isn’t good enough. By comparison, the 25/75%ile ranges for math and science subject tests were [770, 800] and [740, 800].
Thanks you all for helping me.
Will try to answer for all of the questions I have not answered yet.
Why not suggest a more realistic option? I thought I had chances, but I failed the tests and was disappointed. Well, I just wanted to hear your opinion.
Have you looked at MIT’s General Institute Requirements (GIRs)? Yes.
Why are you applying to MIT? Why does it meet your needs more than other schools? Because it’s my dream. And I really like physics, but taking tests is difficult to me.
And what are you doing to make sure your academic profile is at least competitive? I did my best while completing my application.
@Doge2337 I also strongly suggest a more realistic option. You can certainly apply to MIT as a transfer, but I’d imagine it’s very difficult to get in as a transfer unless you show good potential and reasons why you want to study there.
