<p>MIT is my dream school, but I don't have perfect grades. I have a steady 3.5 GPA and I take difficult classes and I take college classes. I also don't have a really high ACT score either. I am just curious if there is any MIT Alum out there who wasn't a super genius and was perfect in high school, so that I can keep a hope of getting in.</p>
<p>There are lots of people who get in without 4.0 but a combination of slightly lower than average grade and low ACT makes the situation borderline, I hope you have some good ECs and make a good application with very thoughtful writing. Basically, now you know you will apply there and entrance is very iffy, look for your match and safety schools.
