@kittymom1102 I don’t know, maybe they just found CC recently. I didn’t join when I first came one, I lurked for several weeks then joined. He/she must have something more special than high scores going for him/her.

LOR - strong
App - She did not feel the best about the MIT app and them getting a really good picture of who she was. She said the application just felt very disjointed but she did the best she could and worked hard on it.
We’ll keep waiting to hear from Princeton, Rice and Case Western now… Good luck to all!
It could be.
I personally don’t buy it 
@kittymom1102 Actually that poster is not a new member, he joined in May 2014. But that was his first post. I agree. it is strange. But not impossible.
@albert69 I find it to be very believable.
@kittymom1102 It’s just strange to me.
I personally don’t buy it. Let’s see how many postings from now on.
May he/she just applied to MIT Regular Decision, right
My son goes to MIT, class of’18. The school is incredibly hard and they wouldn’t admit someone who would obviously be struggling academically. I find the low score admission post very fishy.
@rennaba they have admitted people before who couldn’t handle the work, specifically the people who tragically committed suicide, so it might have happened. Although the first post makes it very fishy.
OMG, OMG! I was accepted!!!
What is life? I though I was 100% going to be rejected.
Congrats @uclabound1, no need ucla bound => mitbound
@Theclassycuber Don’t speculate why specific people commited suicide. I don’t believe that you got a suicide note from any MIT student explaining the reason for their suicide. The most recent suicide was caused by a rare disease that was extremely painful and debilitating by a student that was not having any academic issues. I don’t know the reasons for the others and don’t think it’s fair to guess and spread rumors about a terrible tragedy.
The student with the low SAT scores also had an ACT of 32 composite and strong SAT II scores also.
Very believable. Congrats to those accepted.
That student is also a URM and played tennis on an international level. May well be a recruited athlete.
@rothstem fair enough rothstem, that’s my bad
@UCLAbound1 are you the same one who was posting on the USC thread with red an white griffin avatar? If so, congrats. Heck, congrats either way!
@SoMuch2Learn, not that it really matters, because MIT can choose to admit whomever they want, but I don’t see how a 32 ACT composite makes it more plausible. It is not any of my business but, since the subject is on the table, getting in with a 32 on the ACT is also a head-scratcher.
AAAAYYYEEEEE @Jellybae !!! CONGRATS GIRL!!!
@LegacyMom a 32 corresponds to a 2120 which is certainly higher than the 1840 SAT score. 2120 is at the 25th percentile for those accepted to MIT. For ACT scores 33 is the 25th percentile. Just as some get above 35 which is the 75th percentile, some have scores below 33. Not a head-scratcher to me. Student said his interview was probably the reason he was admitted along with his cultural diversity.
@emenya did you get in too??!
