Getting into MIT is extremely competitive, requiring not only high SAT scores (above 650 per section) and a GPA above 3.5 but also unique extracurricular achievements. The admissions process favors well-rounded candidates with standout personalities and compelling essays, rather than just academic excellence. Community service and athletic involvement can enhance an application, but genuine commitment is crucial. Many applicants with stellar academic records still face rejection, indicating that admissions can be unpredictable. Ultimately, while MIT offers exceptional resources and opportunities, alternatives like Canadian universities also provide quality education without the high costs.
