I see you have a son, from title.
Remember, , your child may decide for himself not to attend MIT even if he does get in, so don’t worry too much. Let your child decide, based on his own campus visits, taking to current students, interview with alumni in your state, if he is a fit for MIT. Plenty of students turn down MIT, sometimes for costs, or best fit. Here in Colorado students pick Stanford, Yale, Princeton over MIT at times. Students sometimes pick full ride BS/MBA programs at Texas A&M, and in state publics over MIT. Don’t over focus on MIT. Something like 93-97% of male students get rejects at MIT and many other popular schools. A reject at MIT should not be taken personally. MIT and most highly selective schools, pick a diverse class of students from all 50 states, various socio economic status, race, academic interests and EC talents in a variety of areas.
MIT is a VERY small school, when compared to say UT Austin, Arizona State, UCF etc.
