[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT accepts all kinds of students, but our counselor emphasizes that they care a lot more about Asian immigrants and URM than white students. 20 of the 24 Asian immigrants who’ve applied to mit from DC’s school have gotten in. White peers with better stats are often rejected- 12 of 35 have been accepted. [/quote] Wait - MIT likes Asian immigrant kids? I thought there are already TOO MANY Asians at MIT, esp now that affirmative action is over?[/quote] My guess is the scale used; an initially non-english speaking immigrant scores a 4 on AP English is not the same as a native English speaker getting a 5. Similarly - a non-native Chinese speaker getting a 4 is not the same as a native Chinese speaker getting a 5. You are a few decades late when admission's officers said: tough luck - a 5 is a 5 game it if you want.[/quote]
