<p>It comforts me thanks :). But I still know I probably won’t get in.
Can you tell me if this really bad Portuguese term will affect my chances very much?</p>
<p>I’m not a MIT student, I’m a international applicant just like you. The 800 for SAT I reading is very very good for a non native English speaker. So I don’t think MIT thinks you don’t put any effort in linguistics.</p>

<p>Rejected, guess an 8 isn’t acceptable with such a tough competition. Still love MIT.</p>
