How many kids from deferred actually get in RD? I am thinking the applicant pool is so high that chances are almost zero!

What extra materials can she provide since she is deferred to boost any chances of getting in?

Any sports or music?

Does MIT look for ECA's such as sports or music?

If he can do really well on the f=ma exam and the usapho exam, that can really boost his chances. Also doing well in the Regeneron talent search is a strong credential. There are summer research programs that are highly regarded- don’t remember the names. These are some of the highly competitive stuff that schools like MIT like to see.

This is very helpful. My DS currently a junior interested in MIT and has decent stats. What is the summwr research program that may help? Anyone’s DC has any experience ?

I think it’s called RSI. It’s a highly competitive summer program at MIT where the kids work in stem research. They accept 80 kids according to the page I just looked at.

Any one with experience in applying to this program?

RSI is extremely competitive program, 1-2 are selected per state according to a seminar our school had with junior parents. Any parents whose kids have applied and have been accepted in this progra? How does it help?

Kids participating in RSI and such research programs are a sure shot in the top 5 programs in the country or whatever school your DC chooses to go to. A friend's DS in mid west was accepted in this program couple of years ago and pretty much was accepted into MIT, Harvard and Caltech (went to MIT).

He should consider a sex change. Asian males are getting roasted

Any Asian males who have gotten MIT EA public schools? What are the stats? There was a mention of girls getting accepted EA to MIT
