Colleges & Universities Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>Hello CC,</p>

<p>I have my interview tomorrow with my EC. Here are some questions/concerns I have:</p>

<ol>
<li>I haven’t submitted my app, so should I bring my resume/transcript?</li>
<li>It’s at the man’s house…kind of a curveball. Should I expect any different scenarios compared to the norm of a library/coffee shop?</li>
<li>Does MIT consider ethnicty as strongly as the Ivys? I am hispanic.</li>
<li>How important is leadership to MIT? See my Stats below. I am very active in school and only reporting 5 limits the other leadership positions I can show them.</li>
</ol>

<p>For anyone interested my stats are:
Hispanic Male, Connecticut Resident
4.05 W GPA 3.8 UW
Top 10% (School does not disclose rank)
33 ACT (36M 35S 33E 28R 11 Essay)
780 M2, 760 M1, 660 Chem (didn’t study for them; haven’t heard they are important. Instead of retaking, i’m using the time to do college apps and essays.)
Top 5 Activites:
President of DECA
President of Spanish Honors Society
Captain of Math Team (2 Time Defending State Champs)
Varsity Baseball (Captain of Summer Team)
Sec. of Senior Class</p>

<p>1- No
2- No
3- No idea but I doubt it matters for your interview.
4- Doesn’t matter for your interview.
Don’t mention your stats. Your EC won’t care or note them. Talk about your ECs, sure.
You might want to consider raising your Chem. grade.</p>

<p>2- unless he opens the door wearing a red velvet robe and holding a martini, with Barry White playing in the background, I think you can expect the typical college interview sorts of topics… In the case of the former, head for the hills.</p>
