<p>If you fall into this category (art, music or athletic star), and you show a good fit with MIT vision, and you have great scores, great gpa, and you show your passion for science and math, your chances of getting in increases by a lot. But this is not easy. To be a top athlete and to have all that in addition to your dedication to a sport, is hard. But let me tell you, if you can do this, your chances increases from like 10% to 33.33% according to the numbers above. It does not assure you will get in, but to apply to MIT knowing you have like a 33.33% chance of getting in, is just amazing and you deserve to get in!</p>
