<p>Teacher recommendations
People usually say they will be glowing, but I assure you they will glisten my teachers/counselor LOVE me.</p>

<p>This is really my top choice school I visited and fell in love with it. The campus is beautiful and the people are inquisitive and so innovative. Thanks for the help and be brutally honest I know the statistics.

Additional Details</p>
<p>Also I am currently thinking about math/finance, but that may change by the time I apply to Engineering (you apply by school at MIT)</p>
<p>that is just based on the people I know this year that applied and what there results were. Every year is different, and this year seemed particularly difficult to get in. Your admission year may be easier, but not likely by much. </p>
<p>However, you will not know unless you apply.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be getting your hopes to get in there anyway; no one is guaranteed, and there’s a reason that only around 10% of applicants get in.</p>
<p>Your ACT Math is obviously good, although the others are low: you’re far below the average English score, and your composite is around the 25th percentile. I’d take the SAT I just to see how I scored if I were you. You may do a great job and get 2250-2300+.</p>
<p>The rest looks good, although I don’t really see any extracurriculars that stand out. You’ll be up against those that have competed in Siemens, USAMO, etc.</p>
<p>Here’s something important: show why you love MIT in your essay. Make sure they understand that you don’t want to go there just so 20 years down the line you can say “I went to MIT”.</p>
<p>Agreed with Cortana,
MIT is special in that it only looks for students with talent in technology, math, science, etc. Some of my friends who got into HYPS got rejected from MIT because they just didn’t have any “techy” ECs. Its kind like applying for Juilliard without having any artistic talent. That being said, you still might have a good chance at some other competitive schools, just not MIT.</p>
