MIT MITES Summer 2014

<p>@ABnegative‌ No Im probably not going to MITES over RSI. Hope you all get in!</p>

<p>@WxNation‌
Wow, congratulations! RSI is a freaking AMAZING accomplishment and program. RSI and MITES take place at the same time and place so you can still see all the kids who get in from here XD</p>

<p>I’m also waiting to here if I was accepted in MITES but I am really worried because I had low PSAT scores. I did have a lot of EC’s and I think I had good essays though</p>

<p>MITES seems far more concerned with how you rank relative to the rest of your grade (with more leniency if you’re from a highly competitive district) than with your SAT/PSAT scores.</p>

<p>I have a pretty good class rank (15/460) so this might make up for my PSAT.</p>

<p>I’m a white female but neither of my parents graduated from college and we have a lowish income. Do I still have a chance?</p>

<p>@Ginnymills if you’re low-income and would be the first to go to college in your family, yes, I’d figure you have a chance if you have good grades.</p>

<p>Ahhhhhhh I’m so nervous. :slight_smile: A few of the applicants are in the QB facebook group and talking with each other just makes us a lot more nervous. It’s also nerve-wrecking because I want all of us to go but probably only three or four of us here would be accepted…</p>

<p>@Apendoatis My rank dropped to 92 out of 1082 so I hope they are more lenient with my rank since I come from a highly competitive school.</p>

<p>@emywemy610‌ Fingers crossed, I suppose! Imo top 10% (which you do have) is pretty good for a competitive district. Our district doesn’t do rankings, though I think they release percentiles.</p>

<p>We don’t do rankings either. But I have a perfect GPA so far so I might be one of the top ten? I don’t think grades matter as much for applying for this program as your personality, though. Let’s all hope for the best…</p>

<p>@Nobody426 I was in that group too! I probably saw your comment then :P.</p>

<p>Hello guys. I have also applied to MITES. I’m like dying to find out. How are you guys holding up?</p>

<p>Does anyone know when the results will be sent for MITES this year?</p>

<p>Nahh, but I’m so nervous… honestly I don’t think I’ll get in. If I don’t I have a couple of offers to intern at startups. So most likely, if I’m not at MIT for the summer, I’ll be in San Francisco. Good summer, regardless!</p>

<p>Interning is still a great experience! I’ve found a mentor to work on a project with at a local college, but I realized the main reason why I want to go to MITES or another summer program instead is because I’ll be working with a lot of students that are my own age. And theres a focus on collaboration, rather than just individually doing research! </p>

<p>Plus, living away from home for a while is always fun. :)</p>

<p>@GregB777‌ results will likely be out around April 10-12, at least as discussed a couple pages earlier in this thread.</p>

<p>Did anyone else apply to CMU SAMS?</p>

<p>@cps2015 yes, did you?</p>

<p>@cps2015 I applied! Did you?</p>
