So in 2013, Applicants knew by April 12. Hopefully we find out soon… good luck!
@clairdelune64 thanks and good luck to you as well! Tomorrow is the literal “middle of April”, so from then on, any day could be the day!
@ZucchiniSoup had asked if kids from e2 and mostec had high chances at MIT and Harvard as do mites students, so I gave a personal example of the three. I obviously know that attending a summer program is a mere point in one’s overall high school career, but I was simply answering a previously asked question. No need for the hate @Eutectic @Falcon1
@Iamquiteloud they’re seniors so I’m not sure where they’ll be attending; however, money is a big factor so I’d say e2 will be attending WashU, Mostec will be attending Michigan, and Mites will go to Stanford if he doesn’t get a lot of money from MIT and Harvard, his #1 and 2 respectively
@Eutectic @Falcon1 I agree with @baller55 . He/She was merely providing a personal example of what HE/SHE has observed. There are other many factors that can influence admission’s decision about whether or not a student is accepted into their institution, but I think we can agree a student with an academic profile that includes one’s attendance of a program such as MITES/E2/MOSTEC will certainly catch their attention and raise their chances of acceptance. @baller55 isn’t saying the case of the three students in his/her school will be the same for EVERYONE who attends MITES/E2/MOSTEC and isn’t trying to establish a set statics that the program they attend corresponds with where they get accepted - he/she was just saying that students who attend any one of the three MIT Summer programs do tend to get accepted into and end up attending very good and highly ranked post-secondary institutions, something even the MITES website states.
this thread is so focused on MITES that I completely forgot abou MOSTEC and E2!!!
*about lol
Hey, anyone know if MITES has a wait list? Also, do they usually release the decisions on 11:59 PM or during the day?
@maria93101 So I applied to SSP, but something fell through with my application and I probably would have had at least one more program (or not, since I hear you guys got our acceptance alreay) for the pogram
@poison_ivy I’m kicking myself right now. I went to MIT last week for a college tour and our tour guide is a pen pal alumnus of our school that got accepted into MITES himself (and subsequently got accepted into MIT, got the Gates MIllenium AND the Questbridge scholarshp, a powerhouse, yes). I didn;t stop by the MITES office since I asked him if he knew nything about them or was in contact wth them. He told me that he didn’t speak with any of them after the program ended, but I feel like visiting the office could have boosted, or as you put, put a face to the application :-/
@AdrianF24 Or you could’ve appeared as an obnoxious tryhard/kissup.
Why is the acceptance rate at MITES soo competitive?? Why is it lower than admission rate from MIT.
I wish MIT would at least email us
Quote from MIT article I was reading, “According to MITE 2S director Karl W. Reid (S.B. 1984, S.M.), around 74 percent of MITE 2S participants apply for admission to MIT. Of those, approximately 93 percent are accepted and 52 percent actually enroll. “All of them go to the best schools in the country, and 80 to 90 percent wind up majoring in engineering and science,” he said.”
New member here, also MIT Summer program applicant I also saw that on Wikipedia’s website for the MITES program that MITES itself has a 3%-4% acceptance rate (unknown for the other programs) and about 30% of MITES alumnus go on to MIT and the rest usually go on to other Ivy League schools.
And I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m feeling woefully unprepared compared to some of the applicants on this thread!
Good luck everyone though!
@sidekick889 I believe it’s because the number of students MITES can accommodate is so low(about 80 people) and because the applicant pool is considerably large (2000 ~3000), then the percentage acceptance turns put to be much lower than that of their actual university acceptance rate, since the amount of students they can accommodate for actual university is relatively higher (at least in comparison) compared to the applicant pool.
I’m so nervous /.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for them to respond since forever!
Got into MOSTEC!!! Shoot, but SSP!!! Might conflict for the summer part of MOSTEC :(((((!!!
rejected. really hope TASP works out!
@Newdle which SSP session are you doing?
I got into E2!!!
