@Poisonivy2015 I wish more MITES alumni remained engaged in CC. So, we could see where things unfold at the end. Unfortunately, if you check MITES threads from previous years, MITES admitted students mysteriously disappear (?)
I’m very curious since the only point of reference I have are the 3 kids admitted to MITES in the past few years from my son’s school. Out of the 3, just 1 was admitted to MIT. Somehow the story/essay of the other 2 stopped being compelling? I don’t know. What I do know if that their test scores where nowhere MIT’s level, MITES? Yes, MIT? No. The only one to be admitted had SAT Math ~750 with R in the mid 600’s. Obviously, his story was compelling enough for the MIT admission’s office to overlook his R. The other 2 kids couldn’t even break 700 in SAT Math. Their stories somehow were no longer compelling enough?
It is rather interesting to observe
