<p>oh flames, just thought I’d answer your admittance woes, as a female who was accepted to MIT this year.</p>
<p>MIT admissions has neer claimed to look at stats/numbers as the primary means of acceptance. What was so special about you? That’s what they’re looking for. Was your essay passionate? Do you think you showed them that you’ll fit in with the culture of the school? The thing is that tons of kids apply with high test scores. Your 1530 doesn’t stand out in the least. Obviously, neither did the lower test scores (both boys and girls with lower scores than you got accepted, I’ll have you know) but they would have had something else going in their favor. </p>
<p>Oh yeah, and Harvard doesn’t have any pre-professional UG schools. It’s a bit against their philosophy - they’re still a liberal arts school at heart.</p>
