<p>How MITES helps with college admission:</p>

<p>^ holy moly i never knew MITES was that prestigious O:</p>
<p>Wow! That’s legit. By mid April, everyone in this thread will know if we will join these talented students.</p>
<p>That seems so far away…</p>
<p>I was really hoping MITES would stick to March :(</p>
<p>But hey, just one more month!</p>
<p>So yesterday, I got a big envelope in the mail that said “Congratulations!” on it, and I dropped everything and ripped it open on the long shot that it was a MITES decision come early. Turns out it was just one of those “Congrats! We think you’re bright enough to apply to our school!” things from UNM. Oh well.</p>
<p>I can’t stop thinking about MITES though! I have dreams about it!</p>
<p>Hahaha it happens.</p>
<p>Do you guys know if they send out letters or emails?</p>
<p>You’ll get an email that say something along the line of: “Your decision for MITES is ready. Please login to the portal to check your result.” </p>
<p>You’ll get some mail a few weeks later</p>
<p>Leviticus, It’d certainly be one less thing to worry about…</p>

<p>What does MITES emphasize its application on?</p>
<p>Essay 30% ? Recommendation 20%? ECs/Hooks/URM 30%? and grades+test 20%?</p>
<p>Alpha,</p>
<p>I’m not completely sure how I’d express their priorities as a percentage, but I kinda feel like essays and recommendations have still higher priorities - maybe around 40% and 30%, respectively. Maybe 25% for ECs and URM combined? Based on those chance posts (Yeah, I know I shouldn’t be reading those :P) I don’t really see them just taking a bucket list of ECs very seriously at all, even if they were a finalist in the Intel Science Fair or something awesome like that. </p>
<p>I know I only gave grades/test scores 1/8th of the priority of the essays, but a post on CC from an MIT admissions guy said that they basically just throw those scores away once they see that they are reasonably good. I think it would be safe to say that essays and recs are many times more important than test scores, rather than just maybe one-and-a-half times more so.</p>
<p>Haha good luck! Oh, and this is unimportant, I guess, but are there only certain smileys that work on here? 
doesn’t work… lol</p>
<p>SIMR, MITES, RSI or SSP. Just one and I’ll be happy ;p otherwise I have no backup except maybe Northwestern for a fun 3 weeks</p>
<p>I officially NEED to get in. It’s essentially a free ticket to MIT.</p>
<p>I had to withdraw from a dual-enrollment class today.
I have a “W” on my transcript now (this sucks epicmonkeyballz).</p>
<p>That sucks; why did you have to withdraw?</p>
<p>Wesleyan University is my first choice, but I don’t even know where I want to go aside from there.</p>
<h1>slacker (yes, I just hash-tagged on CC)</h1>
<p>@Mobius haha admissions will roll out before we know it :)</p>
<p>@Aakash It makes sense that essays and recs carry more weight. The grades and test scores of the people that get in are probably around the same (pretty damn high), so they need to distinguish us in some other way.</p>
<p>@Rivstein Right? The MITES alumni acceptance rate to MIT is crazy!</p>
<p>I don’t have my own car and I was getting to class really late (on test days), which, in turn, kept my average at the borderline of C/B.</p>
<p>lol rejected to RSI.</p>
<p>MITES is my 2nd choice… When do we know?</p>
<p>In about a month :(</p>
