MIT-- PLEASE help!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi my son is applying-- hopefully transfering to MIT for sophmore year with excellent everything but he has not as a freshman had a year of physics, semester of bio, semester of chemistry and year of math as they request. Instead he has had a year of honors chemistry at Washington U and a semester of Calc 3. ( and other various courses that were very challenging-- with great grades. </p>

<p>How should this be addressed? He is willing to go to school over the summer.</p>

<p>He is generally a chem major.. he can make himself be more specific if there are areas of MIT with more ( comparatively) needy enrollment.</p>

<p>My advice would be to call the admissions office and ask how a potential student should address that issue. Nothing is more definitive than hearing it from the admissions office themselves. What other schools are on his list, MIT is an incredibly hard transfer, even for the best of applicants. If he is really interested in leaving Wash U, he should apply to other schools that aren't so difficult for transfer but have great programs. Good luck to your son, I hope he gets into the school of his dreams.</p>
