I wish someone (or MIT) would share some stats.
My DS2022 was accepted to WISE 2021.
He was accepted to MIT after EA deferral.
I do believe that that being accepted to WISE does help with MIT acceptance, but have no clue on % data.
Supposedly (from 2020 data: will try to find that post) that acceptance from EA deferral was only 1.9% so I think the WISE perhaps helped nudge him into the acceptance pile.
From pretty sparse info from the WISE2021 discord group, these kids were outstanding as many of them were accepted to MIT and other Ivies/elites.
So if you were accepted to WISE, I’m guessing that you have the right portfolio to be accepted to many great colleges.
DS was also accepted to 3+ elite colleges.
Good luck!
work on those essays!
