<p>I did read an article on MITs website about a student who got in with an 1850/2400. Its not overly low, I think at least 80th Percentile, ( I got an 1880 first time- retaking this fall) but MIT is notorious for 2100+ and even rejecting kids with all APs and 2400s.</p>

<p>It goes to show that top scores are not the only way in.</p>
