Math I or Math II

International Students

<p>Hi everyone, this is my first post,
I live in Egypt, I started high school this year (in Egypt; high school is three years), and I’m going to apply for MIT, I’m working really hard to get there. On the university website It says they accept both math 1 and 2. In Egypt the first year of high school is a general year, the second year, students decide which major they want; there’s Math, Literature and Sciences. I am going to choose math because i want to major in engineering If I get admitted. The problem is; the second year we take math 1, the third year math 2, and the pressure of the Egyptian high school degree is way more than the SAT’s, and I can’t neglect it because if don’t get admitted, I’ll still have chances to go to college in Egypt. So if want to be enrolled in 2012; I will have to prepare for the SAT and take it the summer between the second and the third year, which means I won’t be able to take the math 2 test. Does taking math 1 instead of 2 will affect my chances of admission ?</p>

<p>It might - but if you cannot take the Math II test you don’t have very much of a choice, do you?</p>

<p>Applying with Math 1 results might undermine your commitment to academics or the rigor of your high school education - especially given that math will be your main subject of concentration in the last two years of high school.</p>

<p>It definitely might affect your chance, because MIT require Math II and a science subject test. They way I see it, you got major making up to do if you’re applying with Math I instead of II.</p>

<p>What if I applied after the third year, If I get admitted i will be enrolled 2013. Can I go to college in Egypt, and after the first year I go to MIT and skip it ?</p>

<p>Technically transferring is an option, but you may not get credit for all of your coursework. Read MIT’s transfer FAQs before you make a decision!</p>

<p>It is worth to note that the transfer admission process is even more competitive than freshmen admission!</p>
