<p>When I applied to MIT early, I had a 1500 (800m / 700v).</p>
<p>I was deferred, but got a 1540 (780m / 760v) in December.</p>
<p>So the way MIT considers things, I have 800m / 760v. </p>
<p>Do you think it's worth sending these in, or were my scores already good enough for them not to care? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Send them in.</p>
<p>MIT uses an algorithm to compute academic indexes. This algorithm compares your scores to those of MIT's four current classes (or something like that). So, while a 700 verbal is 25 percentile for MIT students, a 760 verbal is 80 percentile (guesstimating).</p>
<p>I say send them in, but I don't think a 1500 to 1540 or 1560 will make much of a difference. From what I understand, SATs are not a major factor in admissions (relative to course rigot, grades, and your overall passions). Send them in though because it can't hurt you, only help you. Good luck.</p>
<p>Send those in for sure.</p>
