Hey everyone! Got MIT on my radar and gearing up for SAT, but kinda freaking out. What's the average SAT score of students who get into MIT? Any insight would be rad!
Hello! Based on the most recent data available, the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students at MIT ranged between 1530 and 1580. That means that for students who were admitted, about 25% of those students scored below a 1530, and another 25% scored above a 1580. Remember, though, this doesn't mean that a 1530 is the minimum score to get in. This should be used as a guide to understanding the competitive nature of MIT's admissions process.
Also, keep in mind that test scores are just one part of the admissions process. Your grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation also play significant roles in decisions. For example, you could have an SAT score that falls in the upper end of this range and still not gain admission if other aspects of your application don't measure up.
Good luck with your preparations for the SAT! Remember, keep calm and carry on. You've got this!
