MITES 2018

Hey guys! Can I get info for the group chat too? Thanks.

Yes. Anyone who wants to join, message me.

@IndianKid123 about 20 people were only Asian, there was a handful of biracial Asian students and a handful of white students.

I’m having a really hard time working on these essays. :frowning: Hopefully, I’ll have them done in time!

Getting super overwhelmed with the amount of summer programs I am applying too :frowning: Applying to 6 programs and already applied to one. Jeez

Ha, same, I’m applying to five and I haven’t even finished one

@gkdudtlffj @rexgoodwin same!! Which programs are you guys applying to?

I’m planning to apply to MITES (obviously), SuMaC, SAMS, USC Bovard Scholars and the Questbridge College Prep Scholars (and I’m hoping to apply to Mathcamp through the STEM Award).

Hey guys! Can I get info for the group chat too? I’m applying to MITES! Super anxious!

I am also applying to multiple programs as well, I am applying to MITES and MOSTEC, SAMS and AP/EA, Questbridge College Prep Scholars, and a Volunteer program at UPenn Hospital

@rexgoodwin I’m applying to USC Bovard Scholars too! Although I’m not sure what it means on the website when it says it encourages people with a 4.0 GPA or above to apply… Does it mean Weighted or Unweighted GPA?

Does anyone know when MITES usually takes place?

like around dates? Cause I know some schools don’t out until the 26 of June

In your essays try to avoid sob stories or better connect those stories to your aspirations

@xManWolves The program started June 10th last year. If you attend a school that is still in session you will have to make special arrangements to be excused early, as you will not be allowed to arrive to MITES late.

@MangoLover11223 I would assume it’s talking about weighted since unweighted only goes up to 4.0.

Peculiar Question: Anyone else applying to MITES who also applied to RSI??

Any Rickies here that know what the final date is for acceptance into RSI? ex. If they send accept letters out March 1st, when is the latest date you are allowed to make a decision?

(I want to know in the .0001% chance I am accepted in RSI… since I would prefer MITES over RSI)

What should you put in your 6th Essay

Anything you’d like! It’s absolutely up to you. Some kids don’t even fill it out.

you guys think I have a chance with a 28 superscore
I know it is low but academic record is really high
