<p>Do you know anyone who got into MIT with low SAT scores</p>
<p>yep...a couple kids from my MITES class had low (well relatively low SATs)....some 1900s one or two 1800s, and this girl got in with a 580 physics and 640 math II score...now she may be an exception because she lives in a very rural place and her essays were probably ridiculously good but yea its worth a shot i mean you never know unless you try...and when people say scores don't count for everything and you can write your way into MIT i really do believe its true..i don't think they just solely look at scores alone...hope i helped lol</p>
<p>lol that's really funny...MIT is like a math/science score yet you can write your way in. who knows how many ppl pay for professional writers to write their essays, or invent sob stories to get in?</p>
<p>i doubt that really happens though...how many people would seriously hire a professional writer to write their essay</p>
<p>you'd be amazed</p>
<p>ha, from all the amazing scores and bios I've seen here, sometimes I wonder whether the chance of being accepted is greater if you have stats on the lower end.</p>
<p>@J'adoube and narcissa</p>
<p>Wow do people really do that like seriously??? Do you guys know anyone like that?? I dunno that seems like something I'd stay away from; karma is a b*atch lol.</p>
<p>i know people who get their essays professionally edited for 1K per application... so yeah.. those people do exist. However, some of them are already super qualified just have paranoid parents who wants to know that they did everything they could for their kids. Others not as good...</p>
<p>According to the statistics for the class of 2011 on the MIT Admissions website, 7% of admitted students had math SAT scores below 640, and 11% of admitted students had critical reading scores between 600 and 640.</p>
<p>I know people that have paid $3500 to a "college counselor" and part of the deal is to send your essays to a professional editor that would make suggestions on how to "fix it". Then you send them back for them to check again. Then you do it again, and so on and so forth. It's sad, but that's the way it is.</p>
<p>o0o wow. I just use my English teacher to help me lol. But that is sad, but w/e nothing we can do about it.</p>
<p>Just write your own application essays. I'm sure no one on here would do that (RIGHT?), but a "fixed" essay is no longer your essay. Hell, mine was about shower curtains. No way would that have made it through those editors. And yet, I'm heading off to Cambridge next year.</p>
