Also, the parent of a girl who had an 800 on SAT math. She visited MIT and hated it to the extent that she refused to apply, visit, or look at the brochure of any other school that had the word technical in it’s name. DD2017 attends Stanford and I have already met two girls that were accepted at MIT but chose Stanford. Shortly after my daughter’s visit to MIT, I attended a very large five day conference with many professors from MIT. I seemed to be on the same schedule as one of the MIT professors and we had breakfast and rode a van to the conference together on multiple occasions. I told her how much of a turn off the information session in particular had been when my daughter visited MIT and that she should give some feedback on the issue since we all want more women in stem. She told me to go complain to the president of MIT who was also at the conference but that as a mother of two girls she would never want them to attend MIT as undergrads. She said MIT kills their undergrads and it is better to wait and go to grad school there.
