This is exactly my point… straight from the horse’s mouth.</p>
<p>However, any applicant should be able to somewhat tell whether or not they’re competitive for HYPS, even without taking into consideration their results with MIT.</p>
<p>An applicant with, say, low test scores and a low GPA (non-URM) getting rejected (or waitlisted, if he or she is lucky) by MIT is very different from someone with an impressive application on the whole getting turned down by MIT. In the former case, yes, the rejection is indicative of success (or lack thereof) at HYPS; in the latter, it isn’t, for the reasons MITChris elucidates above.</p>
