[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, [b]MIT is a reach for everyone.[/b] My super high stats kid thought their super high stats (like perfect SAT score and almost a 5.0 weighted) would help them get into MIT, CMU, GATech etc.. Nope. [/quote] Not really. If you won IMO gold, MIT is actually a target (not safety).[/quote] Yep. My kid was a 1600 SAT (one seating), maxed out GPA, valedictorian, private school in Texas. White, no hook, wealthy background, speaks 3 languages fluently. Was denied admission straight up to 5 of the 7 top 25 schools he applied to. 1 waitlist that never materialized. So no, there are no targets in the Top25. He is going to the UK.[/quote] Another lesson: they don't want those vals plus high data to fill up their class. Sigh. -different poster[/quote]
