Chances for scholarship at MIT

[yman321]

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m an incoming sophomore in high school and I want to know if it’s possible for me to receive a tuition waiver from MIT at my current rate. I want to major in math and have started learning advanced math at home. I finished Calculus I and II my freshman year and am currently studying Calc III. I’m planning on finishing Topology by the time I’m a senior. Outside of course work, I also participate in many competitions. I received a score of a 4 on the AIME, qualified for the Chicago ARML team and have done well in other not so prestigious competitions. What more will I have to do in order for me to pay nothing for tuition at MIT?</p>

At MIT, we have three guiding principles for undergraduate admissions and financial aid:</p>

<pre><code>We seek out and admit the most talented and promising students without regard to their family financial circumstances.

We award undergraduate aid on the basis of financial need only. This means that we don’t offer any merit or athletic scholarships.

We meet the full need of each undergraduate for all four years.
