MIT admission questions

<p>Does MIT superscore the SAT?
Does MIT look at the writing portion of the SAT?
Does MIT look at 9th grade grades? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>From the admissions website:

If you take the same test (SAT, ACT, or an SAT Subject Test) multiple times, we will consider the highest score achieved in each section. We do this in order to consider all applicants in their best light.</p>

<p>For example, if you take the SAT Reasoning Test in 11th grade and score 750 math, 700 critical reading and 650 writing, and then take the SAT again in 12th grade and score 700 math, 650 critical reading and 700 writing, only your best scores from each sitting (i.e. 750 math, 700 critical reading and 700 writing) are used in our admissions calculations.

<p>The writing section has not previously been considered for admissions purposes, but I haven’t heard whether the admissions office will do so this year.</p>

<p>MIT does consider all four years of high school.</p>
