AI Thread Summary

MIT has deferred some applicants for regular admission, indicating that they have not been outright rejected, which is a positive sign. Applicants are encouraged to improve their grades, particularly in key subjects like physics and math, to enhance their chances. Extracurricular activities play a significant role in the admissions process, helping to offset lower academic scores. International students can also apply for graduate programs at MIT, provided they meet specific requirements. Overall, while MIT is highly competitive, there are many other excellent universities available for those who may not gain admission.

i don't think schools are looking so much at sat's now, though. a UC study revealed that gpa's and sat ii's told much, much more about a person's performance through college(around the 20 percents, i think?), and the addition of the sat i's, the accuracy only went up like, 1 percent.

anyway, I'm much more interested in extracurriculars. how fun!
