<p>I didn’t get a 500 in math but i did get a 720. as for my CR: i started out with a 470 and got it up to a 640.</p>
<p>The “inner-city kid” profile fits me quite well.</p>

<p>I have never met anyone who has overcome more obstacles than i have, but i also have never met anyone who preforms better in school than i do (even when they DO have higher grades and test scores). </p>
<p>The fact that i was admitted, needless to say, proves that MIT has a holistic admissions process.</p>
