<p>Next year Harvard’s schedule is changing so their students take exams in December, like the rest of the sane world. You will no longer need to worry about sitting Harvard exams during IAP, but you may need to worry about Harvard/MIT exam conflicts! (of course, there is still always the possibility of MIT/MIT exam conflicts as well…)</p>
<p>You dont need to “prove” to MIT you love math besides being president of your math club, tutoring math, getting good grades in math and taking AP/IB courses in math. I did not to any extracurricular math activities, nor did I submit AMC or AIME scores and I got in fine and have done very well in my math courses so far. But if you do take it next year, you can probably feel free to let MIT know via e-mail of a qualifying score. It’s by no means necessary, but it won’t hurt.</p>
<p>As far as I know, MIT does not offer a religious studies minor, and even were you to take all the appropriate courses at Harvard, I am not sure MIT would be able to grant you a minor. This page has a full list of minors:</p>

<p>However, it’s still worth a shot to talk to faculty in history or anthropology and see if someone can act as a religious studies minor adviser and approve such a minor. I have no idea if this is possible, but it’s worth a shot. When the application asks for your likely areas of study at MIT, they’re pretty much referring to what you’d be majoring in (but this still has no bearing on whether you will be admitted or rejected) and unless you have a lot to talk about with your interest in religious studies, I dont think it is necessary.</p>
