<p>[MIT</a> Admissions: Interviews / Educational Counselors (ECs)](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/interviews_educational_counselors_ecs/index.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/interviews_educational_counselors_ecs/index.shtml)</p>
<p>With Interview - 13.4%
Without - 3.6%</p>
<p>That could be from a lot of factors, but that’s a very considerable difference. The way I see it, a bad interview won’t hurt you but a good interview can only help you.</p>
