<p>any bets that next year will be 12/12/2012 at 12:12?</p>
<p>Doubtful, it’s too soon.</p>
<p>Course 16!! With maybe a 21F minor.
Haha germfreak, I’m starting to see 12s and 17s everywhere too. Three more days left…</p>
<p>Anyone an athletic recruit? If so, what sport and do you think it will get you in?</p>
<p>I have a friend who claims he is already accepted due to a football scholarship O_O so unfair… But happy for him I guess 
hahaha although I respect the school sponsored sports I do find it unfortunate that these people take spots from perhaps better qualified candidates in relation to the fields of scientific innovation rather than skilled ball throwing 
thoughts?</p>
<p>ArduinoMan - me me me! 
Course 6-2/21CMS/MAS/STS/9 here! (still unsure, but maybe a joint or major/minor combo of those. I hope… we’ll see.)
for clarification on the numbers: [url=<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/index.php/discover/majors]Majors”>Majors & minors | MIT Admissions]Majors</a> & Minors | MIT Admissions<a href=“if%20anyone%20needs%20it.”>/url</a></p>
<p>@IndoAznBoy - whoa, really? I didn’t know they gave athletes their decisions in advance of the rest… Are you sure? /: hmm. Yeah, well… They’re going for a diverse group to climb the mountain, you know. As Chris says. heh. It wouldn’t be very fun if their sports teams totally sucked, either, right? (or didn’t exist) I’m sure he was still qualified in all of the other aspects, anyway, if that is the case…</p>
<p>@germfreak I’m a tennis recruit 
i really really hope I get in!!!</p>
<p>And @IndoAznBoy, I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure D3(which MIT is) does not offer athletic scholarships.</p>
<p>Well thats what he said he could be lying of course. Who knows hahaha. But I can see your point I just hope they give credit to the non school sponsored sports (I’m an internationally and nationally competitive ice skater proud member of Team USA for US Figure Skating hehe :P) I think there’s something to be said for all sports: you work hard, you have passion, you love it no matter what happens, whatever the decision, doing what you love and not letting anything stop you is most important I believe :)</p>
<p>Never said scholarships haha just early admission (and apparently early notification?.. Hahaha)</p>
<p>Just a thing: MIT doesn’t give athletic Scholarships:</p>

<p>Sorry, but it seems your friend lied to you.=p</p>
<p>Bulding on Vivbell’s post, MIT canidates can only be supported by their coaches of their respective sport. It only adds a bit more allure to an application and in no way puts an athlete automatically into MIT.</p>
<p>I hope I am not all alone in Course 10.</p>
<p>Course 8 and 21M.</p>
<p>Course 8 and maybe 21L</p>
<p>
This is not true – students can be athletic recruits, but this doesn’t indicate that they already know their decisions. The coaches don’t know the decisions for the athletes they want to recruit any sooner than the students know themselves, and MIT does not notify anyone early. Your friend is not telling the truth.</p>
<p>
Nobody gets accepted to MIT solely for his/her athletic ability – this isn’t division I, where there are slots set aside for less-academically-qualified applicants who are talented at sports. </p>
<p>Being recruited for a sport is helpful in admissions in the same way being good at any other extracurricular is helpful in admissions. It’s not a special track, and being a recruited athlete certainly doesn’t mean you’re a shoo-in, even if you are academically qualified.</p>
<p>If I am deferred to RA, can I submit an additional letter of recommendation before the end of this month? I intern as an assistant for a doctor and believe that he would give a very accurate representation of my character and abilities (even more accurate than my teachers).</p>
<p>^^ at above…</p>
<p>You are not quite correct either.</p>
<p>Because my friend, who is also a varsity team football captain with tons of awards for his achievements in football, got select to MIT through Questbridge college match. His academic ability was not the most outstanding either ( I think the max he got on the SAT was 18xx and 29 or less on the ACT ). He had not taken many AP classes either. I believe he won the Questbridge scholarship (which is a full ride for those who dont know) for his athletic ability.</p>
<p>hey i wanted to ask that if i have done some project which i think that is worthy of showing to MIT … how should i do it or should i do it ?? … .i mean in the part II it just says about a brief description on your project from ur Mentor … is that it ?</p>
<p>@rajkobie - I think you’re confused as to how Questbridge works. You are still matched by MIT and have to be approved by Admissions officers. It may very well be that the person tested low, but that can be overridden by other parts of the application that could indicate the person would do fine with the MIT curriculum.</p>
