<p>I have to admit,my first thought would have been that MIT would have ignored the fact that he applied as a junior and just considered him like any other senior applicant. He would just be at a disadvantage because he had a year less to take really amazing classes, get outstandingd awards, partcipate in prestigious ECs etc. But if he had all that a year early, I don’t see why MIT would have ne probelm accpetiong him. Although, reading what other people said about maturity and whatnot does make sense, so I don’t know how MIT would view this.</p>
<p>And I’d ahve to concur with most everyone else on this: there’s not much advantage to getting in a year early.</p>
