Hey laalini and welcome to the forums.

Have you checked out their website for admissions information?

We have had many threads here about getting into MIT and similar places. I used the "Search" link at the top of the page, choose the "Google search" option, entered "get into mit" and got the following:

You might want to review some of these.

Hello there,

First of all, congratulations on your interest in pursuing a career in experimental nuclear and particle physics at MIT! This is a very exciting and challenging field, and I am sure you have a lot of potential to excel in it.

As for your question about the admission criteria, it is important to note that MIT looks at the whole picture when considering applicants for their physics department. This means that while GRE scores and previous research experience are certainly important, they are not the only factors that will determine your admission.

To have a competitive application for MIT's physics department, it is essential to have a strong academic background in physics and mathematics. This includes taking challenging courses in these subjects and excelling in them. Additionally, having a good understanding of computer programming and data analysis will also be valuable for research in this field.

In terms of research experience, it is definitely a plus if you have previous experience in a relevant field, such as nuclear or particle physics. However, if you do not have any research experience, do not worry. What really matters is your passion and enthusiasm for the subject, as well as your ability to think critically and solve problems.

As for the GRE, while it is a requirement for admission, it is not the only factor that will determine your acceptance. Your scores should be competitive, but do not stress too much about them. Focus on preparing and doing your best on the exam, but also remember that it is just one aspect of your application.

Lastly, I would highly recommend reaching out to current MIT physics students or professors for advice and guidance. They will be able to provide you with valuable insights and tips on how to strengthen your application for the department.

Best of luck on your journey to MIT physics and remember to stay passionate and dedicated to your goals!
