A couple of questions:

1) Our school's calculation of GPA includes HS classes taken in middle school as part of U/W GPA. Will MIT recalculate using only 9-12? 9-11? 10-11? And how do weighted classes fit into the scheme of things?

2) Does MIT pay attention to when a student took an AP exam? For example, does a 5 on AP BC Calc as a sophomore "count" more than if it's taken junior year?

3) Re: Recommendations -- will MIT accept only three (two required, one supplemental)?

Thanks!
