[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone's DC get in without national awards? [/quote]

My son got in. Never participated in any national awards. No APs and no IB.
He scored 1600 on the SAT in one seating and 36 on the ACT in one seating. ZERO ECs or National awards…[/quote]

Can you share how your DS approached the application? Like essays, and such?

What do you think got him into MIT?

As mentioned above, he is a way above avg kid in math. His essay was about theoretical math…..he talked about Millennium Prize Problems and his determination to solve the Hodge conjecture. I doubt any AO understood anything about what he wrote….he didnt care…….clearly someone in the MIT math dept read it…..he also got an interview w Princeton (applied RD) and instead of the typical alumni interview, it was just a long call with someone from the Math dept. it was supposed to be -30 mins but it lasted almost 90 mins….pretty confident he will get in. He only applied to 4 schools. 3 in the US and Oxford.

Congrats![/quote][/quote]
