International Students with low scores at MIT?

[Inconclusive]

<p>

especially when they offer another score choice for int’l student: TOEFL + SAT II, omitting SAT which is a real big disadvantage for int’l students.

<p>Acually that quote should be the other way around!</p>

…they offer another score choice for int’l student: TOEFL + SAT II, or SAT I and SAT II which is a real big advantage for int’l students.

Crap. There goes the last hint of hope I had of getting into MIT.

<p>Don’t worry buddy, you dont have to be national/international medal winners to get into MIT.
Read MIT Admissions: The Match Between You And MIT, particularly last one.</p>

<p>You can imply that MIT cares more about net succes of the students not net succes of particular student.
My rule of thumb, it is kind of adding vectors. If you think your magnitute( For example say you dont have national medal) is small, but think you have different kind of things/direction than the others (Forexamle say you have some kind of experience) than they will probably choose you.</p>

<p>If you are a number theoriest, you will probably not like this rule, that is why they don’t give Noble Prize in mathematics :(</p>
