<p>mollie can you answer my question above?</p>
<p>I am just saying that it is already extremely late. And my last EC (after trying to contact him for a few days) said that he is very busy and won’t be able to conduct the interview. I am just thinking that if I wait another week, then find out that the new EC assigned to me is busy as well and I get a third EC it will be too late.</p>

<p>I have 800 in the SAT 1 maths section, and I have gotten A*s in my A level Maths and Further Mathematics. However I have not given my Maths SAT 2. Can I still apply to MIT ?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As far as I know, no! Take a test (Math 1 or 2, it doesn’t matter) as soon as possible! I am not sure but I think MIT accepts January SAT test dates for Regular Decision.</p>
<p>Does MIT take class rank into account?</p>
<p>I’m barely in the top 60 at a competitive public school with a 3.89 GPA. This is top 8%, which seems pretty good, but is a bit disappointing when you consider that one out of every 10 students has a higher GPA than me. I’ve taken the highest level classes and the most challenging schedule, however.</p>
<p>Will the relatively low class rank hurt me? Apparently, most admits to MIT are valedictorians, but is this a case where people who get 4.0’s get in because of their other traits such as curiosity or diligence, or do GPA and class rank really matter? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>We do not consider class rank as such.</p>
<p>i have 13 kids in my grade and i am not the top kid… for what ever reason even with a 33 ACT (35 in math and science)… so i am not in the top 10% (which = 1kid).</p>
<p>will this hurt me? i didnt specify this anywhere…</p>
<p>Hi, </p>
<p>Im just wondering about how MIT looks at teacher’s rec, i mean, I think i got a good report, however I think she says something like “he has no sense of humor”. Now, I think that’s too strong a statement, because my friends think I’m crazily wild and fun… </p>
<p>So I guess my point is, how will MIT see this? I’m hope my essay reflects some humor… any advice?</p>
<p>Hi</p>
<p>Although there are no cutoff scores, what are some scores that are considered competitive in the IB diploma?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>May I know how strictly does MIT enforce the word count? I have a hard time especially for the 100-word essays. I have cut it down to 112 words, and I feel like I can’t cut any more words, otherwise it won’t make grammatical or literal sense. It was 126 at first, and I removed an idea to reduce it to 112. So I was wondering whats the threshold MIT allows.</p>
<p>
It’s 100 words or less. No ifs, ands, or buts. In all seriousness, you DO NOT have a choice. Your application will not be accepted if you go over. The online application will give you an error.</p>
<p>hey, Chris (or whoever may know), I have a question. Will there be a telethon specifically for EA admits? If so, when? I have so many questions I want to ask current students! Lol.</p>
<p>Hi Chris! just wondering: do students who were admitted early action still have to complete the midyear report? also how do we let the admissions office know we want to attend mit next year? thanks!!</p>
<p>I think there will be a telethon in January. I think. </p>
<p>And yes, we still require EA kids to complete the MYR. </p>
<p>You will receive instructions today if you want to preliminarily enroll.</p>
<p>Umm… there’s this question on the application: List Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or A-level or O-Level courses taken or under way. (If you have taken the test, please list date and score.) </p>
<p>I can only put 12 subjects… but I did 12 O levels and Im doing 5 A levels… so… ?</p>
<p>It is best to list what is already completed here and list what you are currently taking under the individual classes by subject.</p>
<p>Was admitted yesterday (So happy!) but MIT still wants midyear report. Does anyone have a read on paragraph 4, the “requisite fine print” and how to define “flying colors”? I’m afraid I will end the semester with 2 or 3 B’s, and this would be more than the admissions office saw in my entire previous transcript… MitChris, Mollie, anyone?</p>
<p>I’m sorry… where are u referring as “under individual subjects taken?”… Also, by O levels they mean IGCSEs as well right?</p>
<p>What does the mites program look for in a student who is applying?</p>
<p>N.B. I’d appreciate if chat could be kept to the other threads, please – it’s tough for Chris and me to pick out questions we can answer when there are side conversations going on in this thread. I’ve just moved about 20 posts to the 2016 hopefuls thread, in case you’re wondering where your post went.</p>
<p>
The admissions office isn’t ridiculous, but don’t get senioritis. That’s about the most precise advice I can offer.</p>
<p>
Your application will be re-read and will be discussed in committee exactly the same way it was during EA. The admissions office knows that you’ve applied EA, because it’s indicated in a few different places in the application), but it’s not a positive or a negative. Everybody goes into one big pool.</p>
<p>
Nothing in your application is treated as an “accessory” – it’s all read and considered together. If you include another essay in your mid-year report, it will be read with as much consideration as the rest of your application.</p>
