<p>I haven't gotten into MIT, but I'd say I have a fairly good chance.
I've had 2 B's and 33 A's out of the 35 units of classes I've taken so far.
But it looks like my grades for this semester may be as low 2 A's, 3 B's, and 1 C
If I get in, will I get rescinded for this?</p>
<p>No. 10 char.</p>
<p>no, don't ever post such a topic again.</p>
<p>boy, you're one confident applicant!</p>
<p>LOL if I were you, I'd be more worried about getting in first.</p>
<p>I hope you're a legacy or a URM or else you are a little arrogant there.</p>
<p>^you know he said "if" not something like "when," right? <em>If</em> you do get in, you won't get rescinded.</p>
<p>I admire your confidence/innocence :P</p>
<p>Twiz, I wouldn't be that confident. 2340 SAT here, top 1% of class, 13 AP classes (10 5s and 3 4s), good committment to extracurriculars, expansive volunteer work. And I didnt get in. Wasn't that surprised either, considering I'm a white male. If you are a white or Asian male, you're gonna need a kick ass app and a little luck to get in, considering they accepted 5-7% of white/Asian males last year.</p>
<p>If you get a C and are admitted, you will probably get a letter asking you to explain the circumstances under which it was earned.</p>
<p>A friend got a C second semester senior year and is still here... if you get in and you do get a C, sent a letter to them. but if you are deferred or doing regular, getting a C in the first semester is going to be pretty detrimental to your chances.</p>
<p>wow
this place is judgmental
perhaps we have different definitions of "pretty good chance"
but no need to call people arrogant
based on one sentence</p>

<p>This implies that it helps to be a legacy. Earlier this year I asked if being a legacy helped, and I was told no. So I ask again, does having legacy help getting into MIT? And if so, how much?</p>
<p>ouch, people are mean...</p>
<p>No effward. MIT legacy supposedly has no weight on admissions.</p>
<p>what does MIT consider as an URM?</p>
<p>Under-Represented Minority.</p>

<p>I'm probably the person rainy's talking about. </p>
<p>I got a C in AP physics second semester senior year after getting in. I didn't get a letter asking for an explanation and I didn't send one in either. (Note that I got all As in all my other classes and double 5s on the AP Physics test so I wasn't really slacking...too much)</p>
<p>Women aren't the only URM's are they?</p>
<p>I mean there are African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Gays aren't there?</p>
