Does MIT accept students with "okay" grades/SAT scores?

<p>My observation is that at least some of the B kids are very smart but disorganized they know how to play the game, but either refuse to or have trouble doing so. (i.e. they don’t bother to hand in homework, they don’t show their work.) I really haven’t seen teacher favoritism playing into grades too much. But if you’re a university looking at prospective students the disorganize brilliant kid is a gamble. I’d want to see proof that they can get it together when they need to.</p>
