@VenomBuds Are decisions released at 6:28 AM or PM?
@ptolemycleopatra PM I believe.
@venombuds here is an accurate one https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?p0=797&iso=20170314T1828&year=2017&month=3&day=14&hour=18&min=28&sec=0&msg=MIT%20Decision%20Date
Sorry I accidentally made AM not PM. Use Mana’s instead 
@TreeLights You missed A+ and the fact that it is worth 4.3. This makes these two systems completely equivalent.
What each university receives is how your school grades and what % of your class receive what letter grade in each class. Some universities uses rank as a substitute.
MIT claims that the highest correlation they have found with success at MIT is standardized tests, which they adjust for income (lower it for higher income families). They also place a lot of emphasize on your personality, which they discover through mandatory interview, your essays, and your teacher recommendation. Grades are important in that they want u to have taken challenging courses and have done well in Math and Science. Otherwise, I doubt they care about a + here or there.
@Teach-me except I’ve literally never been to a school where 4.3 is assigned for an A+, my school uses the ± system, but A+ isn’t a grade. I don’t think that’s too terribly common, and it still doesn’t make the systems equal. An A- at one still earns the same as an A at another. I wish my school had 4.3. My GPA would be way higher.
I’m not saying any system is better or worse, only that that information could be useful, because the point of results threads is to give a picture of the results for future kids, and without context, GPA is essentially useless BECAUSE the schools have and use this info in their evaluations
Doesn’t all the colleges just recalculate the gpa to an unweighted scale?
@lhw1998 based on how MIT runs their admissions, the latter would probably be the case.

Hey I know it’s kind of late ( an understatement really) I was just thinking about the MIT application and how we had to self report APs if we took them. For 2 aps ( chem and physics), I got a 3. Everything else was a 4 or 5. I got in the low 90s for those ap chem and ap physics. But MIT is a stem school…so is that an automatic rejection of not being able to perform well in MIT? Or do they look more on the other things like gpa, sats, subject tests, to see if you’re academically qualified or not?
Hey guys, do you know how FUN forms are used specifically? Are they looked at post-decision or pre-decision?
@Anonymous261 The 3’s are definitely not going to be positive factors in your application. The low 90’s are completely fine.
@Anonymous261 Almost nothing is an automatic rejection(that is saved for not meeting qualifications), definitely not those AP scores. It will depend on other context how they affect your app. My guess is that 3’s are certainly below average for MIT applicants.
@pocrocodro The way I understand it, they are entirely used pre-decision because admitted students submit an official transcript anyway.
I’ve never seen stats for AP scores, MIT publishes admit rate by SAT and ACT score, and nothing else, so I assume they care the most about that when assessing academic qualifications.
(17 more days #countdown)
I don’t really ever want decisions to come out. I think I prefer Schrodinger’s admissions decision. Mentally, I have both been admitted and rejected, and I’m okay with that.
The suspense is killing me…
1 week & a day!
@potato16 No. It’s 2 weeks and a day.
