== Admissions to MIT ==
MIT is one of the most '''selective''' universities in the world, with an acceptance rate of about '''6.7%'''. The admissions process is highly competitive and evaluates students on their '''academic performance''', '''extracurricular achievements''', and '''personal qualities'''. MIT seeks students who demonstrate intellectual curiosity, creativity, and the drive to solve complex problems.

=== Key Admission Requirements ===

* '''Standardized Tests''': MIT requires the '''SAT''' or '''ACT''', along with '''SAT Subject Tests''' in mathematics and science for some programs.
* '''Essays''': The application includes several essays designed to assess the applicant’s fit for MIT’s unique culture of innovation and collaboration.
* '''Letters of Recommendation''': Strong letters from teachers and mentors who can speak to the applicant's abilities and character are essential.
* '''Extracurriculars''': MIT looks for students who demonstrate a deep commitment to extracurricular activities, particularly those that show leadership, initiative, and passion.

=== Financial Aid at MIT ===
MIT is a '''need-blind''' institution for U.S. students, meaning that financial need does not affect admissions decisions. The university offers '''generous financial aid''' and meets 100% of a student’s demonstrated need through a combination of grants, work-study, and, in some cases, loans.
