<p>That’s correct. They don’t accept people “blindly” – it’s a complicated process – but they don’t just look at your GPA and SAT and say that you’re in. Many 4.0/2400s get rejected.</p>
<p>Once your credentials are “good enough,” they don’t matter. It’s about your passion for learning/STEM, your fit in the upcoming class, and what you have to offer to the campus as a person and student. Since it’s holistic/subjective, there’s no way to know if you will get in.</p>
<p>To answer your original question, MIT does not look at your major/school when you are applying as a freshman. So being a potential business student is irrelevant. They will expect the same level of math/science rigor as they would from any other applicant.</p>
