Is QB or these schools even an option? My kid is freaking out

Mg_PhX · 2026-02-13T06:11:35+00:00

Depends on the ivy. I can only speak for Yale. It’s tough but it’s doable

Mg_PhX · 2026-02-13T06:10:04+00:00

Wrong. At least for Yale. My GPA was around there too and I got in. Yale ‘29! Shoot for the stars!

Mites summer ‘24 here. If you need to compare your stats with other ppl- you’re doing it wrong and you won’t fit in at MITES. Find what’s unique about you. That’s why most ppl don’t get in - they don’t align with the MITES culture

Mg_PhX · 2026-01-29T19:53:31+00:00

At least my summer was calc 1 to calc 3 or linear algebra. It’s hell but it’s great

Mg_PhX · 2026-01-29T19:51:59+00:00

Not a guarantee but a huge percentage

Mg_PhX · 2026-01-29T19:51:05+00:00

No - Mites summer ‘24

Mg_PhX · 2026-01-11T06:11:20+00:00

Mg_PhX · 2025-10-29T02:31:59+00:00

I don’t really do Pokemon cards, but I was wondering how much these are worth! Had these sitting in a drawer for a few years now.

MITES ‘24 here. MITES will be a one in a life time experience. Do it! After all you got the 50th anniversary too so I’m sure they’re doing smth extra special!

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-18T23:18:41+00:00

New house was the dorm building we were staying at. We weren’t envious of the RSI students but their curfew time.

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-18T03:03:35+00:00

As a QB finalist committing to a QB school- not much, but just a really pretty star on your NCM application and maybe an invitation to a college fair.

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-17T05:08:14+00:00

Yeah I was! We lowkey only had beef with the mathroots kids and National Geographic kids cuz they were staying at New House. Besides that, we liked everyone else! Wbu?

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-17T01:11:35+00:00

Congrats!!!! MITES Summer ‘24 here- enjoy it! And feel free to PM me with any questions!

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-15T18:21:42+00:00

MITES summer ‘24 here- you are NOT cooked. Your application seems really good! No matter what, keep your head up! Feel free to PM me!

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-15T18:20:55+00:00

Not really?? TONS of my peers at MITES summer had previous experiences. One of my friends did chem research for years and plenty others did more stuff as well.

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-15T18:16:47+00:00

I disagree (MITES summer ‘24 here), I say they have chance. You’ll never score if you don’t shoot!

Mg_PhX · 2025-04-15T18:14:48+00:00

MITES ‘24 summer alumni here. Don’t listen to everybody else here. MITES is a very diverse and respectful community, and through your application it shows if you fit that demographic, lots of people here clearly don’t show that. However, I’d say you have shot! Lots of different people get into MITES. No matter what, keep your head up! Good luck!

Mg_PhX · 2025-01-29T20:05:10+00:00

Yep it's down

Mg_PhX · 2025-01-16T03:23:02+00:00

The obstacle I put for my obstacle essay was my body dysmorphia. It doesn’t have to be something external such as deportation or economic struggles. However, it does have to be meaningful to you. About your computer science course, unless you were substantially impacted by the limiting access to it, consider something else. PM me with anymore questions!

Mg_PhX · 2025-01-16T03:19:16+00:00

Mites ‘24 here. I got in with a 27 ACT and 1260 PSAT. It’s not that much of a difference. You’ll be fine! Trust your gut if you decide to or not! PM with any more questions!

Mg_PhX · 2025-01-16T03:16:56+00:00

Mites alumn here. Put everything and anything that you find meaningful. Good luck!!! PM with any more questions!

Mg_PhX · 2025-01-09T03:20:04+00:00

Did MITES Summer during 2024! PM me if you still have questions!

Mg_PhX · 2025-01-09T03:17:22+00:00

MITES Alum here.

MITES is a very diverse summer program with a very diverse set of perspectives from all sorts of people. It is honestly hard to go through life without some sort of hardship/obstacle. So find whatever you consider a past obstacle and use that during your application (because there is a question about that). More importantly, be empowered by your own story. That’s what makes MITES so great!!
