Re: I'm an MIT Admissions Officer. Ask me Questions!

I'm a Junior in HS, just starting to think about college, and I'm guessing that I have NO chance of making it into MIT, but I'll ask my questions anyways.

First (haha, get it? It's not funny), I attend a fairly large high school (We have 2000+ students) and my GPA is lower then I'd like to admit. (I have somewhere around a 3.0. I'd check for exactness, but the site is down)

So, my question is, how heavily does MIT weigh GPA?

Next, ACT Scores. How heavily are those weighted? I took the ACT in 8th grade and got a 28. My projected score for this year is a 34-36. Assuming I got a 34-36, how would that influence acceptance, based on the fact that my GPA is poor?

Finally, because I'm always curious, how many scholarships do you have for FIRST Students specifically, if any?

Thanks!
