r/MITAdmissions

my school only offers precalculus. I have just started practicing calculus AB on Khan Academy so that I can get my schoolhouse certification. I have not started my essays, but I know I can lock in. They say that there is no advantage to applying early, but looking at the numbers, there are less applicants and more admitted.

I’m sorry if the obvious answer is to apply regular, I’m just not sure if they’re is actually an advantage to applying early.

I am struggling to figure out what the prompt requires. What happens when you have 2 passions that aren't really connected? Do to try to tie them together with a common theme? Do you abandon the less important one? Or do you call yourself a generalist?

If the passions are really really different, then I get it. But what if they can be connected? Like math and chess

i've taken the ACT (once) and SAT (twice). if my ACT score is higher than my SATs, do I have the option of only sending the ACT? or am I required to send everything?

Hey everyone! I am currently pursuing my Master's in Electrical Engineering at Seoul National University.

I am thinking about applying to the MIT EECS PhD program in 2029.

My question is: How can I improve my profile to make it stronger for PhD admissions? I am also considering applying to Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton in the future.
