<p>I am a freshman and I just started my high school in September.These are the courses i took.</p>
<pre><code> Integrated Science.R
Intro to Business.R
Algebra 1 R.
English 1 R
</code></pre>
<p>ummm… does R stand for remedial</p>
<p>No,R stands for R track. Which means harder workload then a regular class.</p>
<p>Ummm… dooit please reply.</p>
<p>you havent asked a question yet</p>
<p>I’ll tell you right now that difficult classes alone aren’t enough to get you into MIT.</p>
<p>MIT likes to see a total package in its admits – people with strong ECs that they care about, plus high grades in difficult classes and good standardized test scores.</p>
<p>So you’re starting off on the right track with a set of difficult classes, but make sure you don’t neglect the other parts of your personal and intellectual development.</p>
<p>Yeah Impossible to tell from freshman classes. But Algebra I is pretty low on the math track. You might want to take 2 or 3 math classes next year, like geometry, algebra II, and stat to catch up. Your goal should be at least 1 year of calculus, if at all possible through your school or a local college, by graduation.</p>
<p>And what is integrated science? If you want to have a shot at MIT you must take biology, physics, and chemistry</p>
<p>I will take algebra 2 next year as a sophomore.But, calculus is not until 11th grade.I don’t get you nic767.Can you please reply back with alist of requirement to get into MIT.Thank You.</p>
<p>all right,molliebatmit.You are from the city of MIT,Cambridge.How is it over there.</p>
<p>What these people are trying to say is there is no set of requirements that will guarantee you admission to MIT. But there are suggestions. One of the things you need to do is talk to your guidance counselor regarding your math. My Son, who probably can NOT get into MIT, took two math classes as a freshman – Geometry AND Advanced Algebra/Trig. As a sophomore, he took pre-calc and as a junior is taking AP-Calc. He is the only Junior in the school taking this class, and it took me pushing the administration to get things started his Freshman year. Next year he will duel enroll at the community college for his math.</p>
<p>Son also tested out of 9th grade English and is now taking AP-Lit as a Junior. He won’t take any English next year (none left to take at our school), so he will be able to pick up another science. This year he is taking Chemistry and Human Physiology & Anatomy. Next year he’s hoping to take Chemistry 2 and Physics. And possibly Forensics.</p>
<p>To get into MIT, you probably can not follow the regular college-bound curriculum. You will have to take extra classes, give up some of your elective, and still pull excellent grades. You will also need to have a nice variety of Extra Curricular activities that you are heavily involved in (not just attend a meeting or two). And these ECs need to be in more than just academic organizations. Service counts, so do athletics.</p>
<p>Overwhelming, isn’t it! So is MIT.</p>

<p>It’s cold today, that’s how it is! 
Luckily we have a 4-day weekend this weekend, so today I get to relax and not do any homework.</p>
<p>Hey, molliebatmit can you do me a favor.Can you tell me how hard is is to get into MIT.</p>
<p>
^^^^^^^^^ lol</p>
<p>I’d say on a 1 to 10 scale it is a 4i.</p>
<p>lol an imaginary number…your prolly right 
i woudl have to say its a sqrroot(-16) :P</p>
<p>Do you really want to go to MIT just for the name? Or do you want to go for a real reason?</p>
<p>ALso, if you are serious about getting in and passionate about math/other science you can take summer classes over the summer.</p>
<p>Also, if your district lets you, you can test out of certain math subjects and go to the next level.</p>
<p>Well… it’s hard. About 85% of the people who apply every year are rejected. If you want to see the caliber of the people who were accepted and rejected last year (and it’s hard sometimes to tell the difference!), check out the [stats</a> roster](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=40411&highlight=stats]stats”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=40411&highlight=stats) from the MIT forum.</p>
<p>MIT really looks for people who are a fit with the school rather than just numbers or AP scores – about 50% of the applicants with perfect SAT scores are rejected.</p>
<p>A really good treatment of what MIT is looking for can be found [url=<a href=“http://ben.mitblogs.com/archives/2005/10/many_ways_to_de.html]here[/url”>http://ben.mitblogs.com/archives/2005/10/many_ways_to_de.html]here[/url</a>], at the blog of Ben Jones, one of the MIT admissions officers (it was originally posted here on CC in the parents forum).</p>
<p>oooooooOOOOOOooooooooh!</p>
<p>That is one really good blog entry… Thanks, molliebatmit! Excellent link. I hadn’t seen that one before, but it embodies pretty much everything that I’ve tried to say about admission to Rice on the Rice board… and probably to every selective school in the nation. Really good link.</p>
<p>to get into MIT, you must solve this problem:
0
0
express answer in terms of pi</p>
<p>Hee, that reminds me of this story: When John Nash was at MIT, he (in all seriousness) asked students to prove Fermat’s Last Theorem on the final exam for intro calculus.</p>
