MIT, more than most colleges in the US, has to be a good fit to be worth it. As hard as it is to get in, it is harder to get out. It mainly works because the students who do get in continue to develop their academic maturity year by year.

thank you!!!! I've been waiting for this video. Also, your videos are incredible. I do enjoy them quite a lot

Hi! you really helped me :) because after finishing sophomore year with two b's I just lost all hope and MIT has been my dream for a long time, but once I watched your video, it helped me really believe in myself and really has made me believe that not only as a student but as a person that I can get into MIT. Thanks so much for making us believe in ourselves because sometimes we all lose hope but we all need it regained and you did just that! :D

Let me summarize the entire video for you: If you got more than 1 B throughout the entirety of highschool, don't bother applying. If you got below a 1500 on the SAT, don't bother applying. If you didn't do tons of extra curricular activities, don't bother applying. It's the type of school for people who had their entire lives planned out already when they were in middleschool.

I want to go to a good university like MIT but my gpa is really on the lower end because of my fuckups from freshman and sophomore. idk if this is going to bring my application chances lower. It's dumb that even your past grades can affect your uni chances. It's really discouraging but I heard they weigh your g11 and g12 grades more plus look at the bigger picture and see how youve improved.

it also depends on what you applying, some major is harder to get in. for engineering major in MIT, you need to have activities to support, club, math, sport competitions. RCM8 exam, math tutoring , etc. if you never gone in gifted school, and dont have this extra activity to support, it can be a bit too late . math competitions can be the short cut. but after all, research and apply, write a good letter to them, you will never know ;-)

For me open the door and head to the bookstore and buy a T-shirt. Love MIT.

Do your job, be nice to everyone and things will open up for you. I'll leave you with this story. I had a friend moved out to one of the Rocky mountain states about 40 years ago. She had no college and got a job as a building inspector in a small town. A few months after she was hired she was sitting in the bosses office and asked him " why did you hire me. " He said I'm glad you asked me that, I had a pile of applications some from people with masters degrees, you were the easiest to talk to and had a lot of common sense and listened. She worked that job for 25 years...........

And a piece of advice for you, an anonymous parent online, is to be nice to kids online. you don’t want other parents to attack your child for being “not qualified” to wherever he’s going to college just because he showed up on a youtube video. direct your complaints to the college admissions office if you may.
