Here are the 10 admission requirements for a bachelor's program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT):

High School Diploma: Completion of secondary education with a strong academic record.

Challenging Coursework: Students are expected to have taken advanced courses in mathematics, science, and humanities, including calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology.

Standardized Test Scores: While MIT has made SAT/ACT scores optional in recent years, submitting high scores can strengthen an application.

English Language Proficiency: Non-native English speakers may need to demonstrate proficiency through tests such as TOEFL or IELTS.

Letters of Recommendation: Typically, two letters of recommendation are required—one from a math or science teacher and another from a humanities, social sciences, or language teacher.

Extracurricular Activities: Demonstrated involvement in leadership roles, community service, sports, research, or other unique talents.

Application Essays: Several short essays and personal statements are required, reflecting the applicant’s personality, interests, and aspirations.

Interview: A recommended but not mandatory interview conducted by an MIT Educational Counselor to assess the applicant beyond academic achievements.

Application Fee: A non-refundable application fee is required, though fee waivers are available for eligible students.

Portfolio (If Applicable): For students applying to specialized fields like architecture, art, or music, a portfolio showcasing work may be required.
