Low GPA, but a few URM'S?

^MIT does not admit to fill out the various majors, unlike other schools.

Being a URM does help, but it tends to be still quite competitive, and at minimum MIT would want to be sure that you could do decently well in the freshman requirements. If your B’s are in humanities, that would be preferrable.

The problem with demonstrating mastery with high test scores is that getting an 800 on the SAT I and SATII’s is ridiculously easy compared to MIT level work.
