What’s your question regarding SAT scores? Whether you will be considered? Of course you will be considered as long as you paid your application fee and your scores aren’t horrendous (your scores aren’t outstanding, but they’re not horrendous). I don’t see what difference it makes whether you think your scores are good enough. Are you going to withdraw your application if you think you won’t be considered? I don’t think so. I would just say, do your best on your applications, and apply to several schools of various rankings, all of which you would be happy to attend, and don’t worry so much. Be realistic and have backup schools. There are many great universities that aren’t MIT where I’m sure you will thrive in. (I know, not worrying about these things when you are applying is MUCH easier said than done. I can sympathize, because I’ve applied to schools twice in the last decade and spazzed out a lot, hehe)



Well i heard MIT doesnt care about scores in writing.



Why, 'cause MIT is a nerd-only techie school where nobody cares about communication skills? That’s so last millenium. Modern-day MIT wants well-rounded undergrads just as much as other top-ranked colleges, so it is a myth that MIT only cares about math/science skillz.



Can I put valedictorain even though my school doesn’t say it? ( they go by summa cumlade etc.).



Perhaps just mention your rank and summa cum laude, etc, because the admissions officers obviously know that rank 1 is equivalent to valedectorian.

Best of luck.
