<p>I’m sure it would be possible if you took many placement courses, didn’t do anything outside of class, and didn’t sleep (much). But then again, most who get in to MIT do so through their ECs, right? They, likewise, are actively involved outside of class, and probably sleep (lol!). Actually, from what I’ve been hearing from a few students, the average student sleeps about 4hrs per night and consumes a lot of caffeine!</p>
