<p>and he didn't get into MIT..
now i am wondering at my chance.......</p>
<p>well...... he is an international student..</p>
<p>AND he has a 3.6 GPA, MIT's avg. is like a 3.9 or something.</p>
<p>He applied as a US citizen, actually.

<p>His essay screams boring! The admissions crew likes to see a more personal side of an applicant...there are tens of thousands of math/science whiz kids applying, they can't admit them all. They probably read his application and went, "Ok, you're qualified to do the work. So what?"</p>
<p>Verbal too low.</p>
<p>was that his MIT essay?</p>
<p>no he didn't get rejected b/c of his SAT verbal score. what's IGCSE exams?</p>
