<p>There is nothing too bad about your gpa, gpa’s can always “be better” but MIT isn’t going to be like " you got one B and 3 A minuses… No admission for you". As far as ECs, I would say it isn’t about having the “right” ECs or the most, and as far as being “boring” you obviously enjoy them because you do them. MITcares that YOU care and are passionate about what you do. For example, the ECs I listed (and even ever participated in were things I enjoyed and I had maybe 5 total) I think I listed that I did theater, played guitar, volunteered with special needs kids an played school intramural sports.</p>
<p>If you want to get into MIT and will actually be happy there and everything, you really need to love learning and crave hardwork. I really think they look at your numbers just as a preliminary thing, like if You have scores and grades that show you can handle the work, then they look at your interview, essays and recommendations for the fit.</p>
