<p>I totally agree with everything Laura is saying.</p>
<p>Keep in mind also that, regardless of any visiting/pre-application recruitment activities, MIT does not admit people who are not qualified to get through the General Institute Requirements. MIT doesn’t admit by major, so students who are planning to major in something outside science/engineering aren’t advantaged, and therefore you wouldn’t be unfairly taking a spot from someone who’s interested in a science or engineering major.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what you mean by saying your stats would never get you into MIT as a “regular” applicant, but there aren’t really any irregular applicants at MIT.</p>
