I know that other stuff is important. I didn’t mention any of that stuff because I assumed it was a “given.” I assumed that those things have to be stellar to get in. I was just wondering if I have a chance with my 3.70 GPA … and with the community colleges being factored into my GPA or not. I would hate for my GPA to be taken down a few notches because of the fact that I went to community college a long time ago. I wish they would just look at my GPA from the university because I’ve heard that a 3.70 is good enough to get into MIT with of course all the other parts of my application being good.

So, if anyone could just let me know if I even have to list those community colleges? If I don’t have to report those, then they would just see my 3.70 GPA instead. Also, if they do factor those in, will that averaged GPA of 3.571 be good enough to get in, this is including of course if all the other parts of my application (GRE, letters of recommendation, etc.) were great.
