[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let’s tee this up: how does a white boy from NW DC at Jackson-Reed, MacArthur-Thompson, SWW, or Banneker with a 1520 SAT and varsity sports experience (not good enough for DI), some volunteering experience and STEM-centric club membership (not leadership) at school and a 3.9 unweighted get into MIT?

(I ask like this because I don’t think it’s possible.)[/quote]

Honestly, this profile does not get into MIT. [/quote]

Plenty of time to raise the SAT, but even if not, recruited athletes with 1520's get into MIT, especially for football or basketball.
Depends on lots of facts that we weren't told like academic rigor including highest math class, what class the B was in, SAT math score, awards in sport/which sport, etc.[/quote]

To get a 3.9 UW, a student would have 3 B's.  Not one.  Which isn't by itself an automatic bar to MIT, but it does need to be balanced by something in the app.  [/quote]
