MIT에 합격 하는 방법!!!
여기저기서 이런 저런 잘못된 정보들이 난무하여,
이제는 정확하고 확실한 정보들을 구별하는 것이 학부모님들에게 가장 중요합니다.
상업적인 업체들의 유혹탓인지, 상담하다 보면, 터무니 없는 활동들이 너무 많습니다.
명심하세요!!! 학생들의 Activity들은, 잘못하면, 아까운 비용과 시간을 낭비할 뿐입니다.
수십명이 같은 업체에서 같은 Activity를 반복하는 것은 정말 어리석은 일입니다. 입시전형이 변했어도
여전히, 학생들이 너무나 힘들게 Activity List를 만들고 있습니다.
힙스는 정확한 정보만을 드립니다.
Even a stellar SAT/ACT score and a 4.0 GPA don't guarantee admission. MIT is essentially looking for super-students; however, being a super student is definitely achievable.
Show passion. You are about to join a community dedicated to applying science and technology to solutions that will improve the world. Make it clear that you are ready and eager to be a part of that.You will stand out in your creativity and uniqueness.
•MIT is, ultimately, a network. Let them know how you work on a team and how you make that team better.
•MIT wants something unusual, even weird, even freakish. If you have, let's say, a fascination with a certain fish, you should develop that interest. Learn about that fish. Own that fish. Do something to help that fish. You want to have something that everyone else doesn't. Stand out.
1.Ace your classes.
You must show your ability to do well in classes. While this may not require a 4.0 GPA in high school, getting lots of B's won't help. •Tell your teachers about your aspirations. They'll want to see you succeed. Ask for outside help whenever you feel it's necessary.
Take weighted courses. At some high schools, certain courses affect your GPA more than others. This is because they're just plain harder. In fact, with weighted courses, you can end up with more than a 4.0 (on a 4.0 scale)! •Skip study hall and opt for that AP course. It shows drive and initiative. MIT requires students who take every opportunity to learn and better themselves.
•This does not mean cutting classes like band or choir out of your schedule. MIT also wants cultivated, interesting students--not just mathbots. If you're good at something, stick with it. It'll pay off.
2. Get college credit.
Many schools offer opportunities for seniors to take classes at their local university or community college. Showing you can handle college courses as a high school student is impressive. •If your school doesn't have a program like this, ask. Better yet, create one. They won't turn down your opportunity for a better education.
•MIT is a very math and science oriented school. Taking any college course looks great--but loading up on calculus (and loving it) looks even better.
3. Pile on the extra-curricular activities.
This is where the genius-IQ students get turned away. You can have absolutely outstanding test scores and grades and still get turned down. About 60% of all applicants are fully qualified. [1] So ditch those video games and sign up for the debate team. •MIT has what's called "holistic admissions." This means that not only are grades and test scores considered, but they also take into account the whole person.
•Try to focus in on a few core activities and show your talents. If you're on the rowing super! You're talented and athletic. But if you're on those teams and in show choir, you're talented, athletic, and artistic. Show them that you care about a certain few activities.
•Show initiative. Do you feel passionate about something your high school doesn't have? Don't be limited by the size or success of your high school. Start that environmental club (you could be the President!). Form an after-school Spanish study group. Think outside the box.
•Compete in many competitions - MIT demographics show that 10 to 12% of their approved petitions are from people that have some sort of achievement (ISEF, AIME, USPHO, IBO, etc.).
4. Cultivate relationships with your teachers.
To get into MIT, you'll need two evaluation letters. With that stellar GPA of yours, it shouldn't be hard. •You'll need two letters from teachers of opposing subjects. One from the math or science department and one from the humanities or languages.
•Why stop at 2 when you can do 3? It's best to have a back up in case a teacher gets sick or is running behind your deadline.
5. Put your best self on Facebook.
Having an internet profile that shows your best side is ideal in today's techno-driven world. So, go ahead, post away those photos of your rewards! You earned it. •Allowing colleges and employers to look at information about you turns you into a real person. You are no longer just a name on one of a thousand pages. Open your profile and invite them to look. Any 18-year-old with an impressive internet profile is a diamond in the rough.
•As an alternative, close your profile to the public. But make sure it's secure--the folks at MIT know what they're doing.
6. Get involved in your community.
A high-schooler who is truly world-thinking and driven doesn't just stop within the grounds of their educational establishment. •Volunteer at your local hospital, animal shelter, or nursing home. MIT seeks to serve humanity and builds their student base off this criterion.
7. Write a compelling essay. There are many topics you can choose from; however, choose something that appeals to you. What do you like to talk about? What would you want to read about? Here are some options: •Evaluate a significant experience you've had and its impact on you. This could be an ethical dilemma, a risk you have taken, or simply an achievement. Avoid the "Look how great I am!" and opt for self-evaluation.
•Discuss an issue of concern and its importance to you. This could be on any level: local, national, or global. But don't turn it into a righteous lecture.
•Describe an experience that is telling of what you would bring to MIT's college community. The admissions board is looking for students who will actively contribute
8. Master the standardized test. Some schools accept one or the other; however, to get into MIT, you should take the ACT and the SAT. •For the SAT, MIT released their 2017 ranges
•SAT Composite: 1480-1590
•SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 730-780
•SAT Math: 770-800
•For the ACT, MIT follows the same guidelines. •ACT Composite: 34-35
•ACT English: 34-36
•ACT Math: 34-36
•MIT has incredibly high average test scores. It's in your best interest to sign up for a prep course and/or take the test multiple times (if necessary). These are considered good practices, not second chances.
