Can you get into MIT without perfect grades?
But most people who apply to MIT have good grades and scores. Having bad grades or scores will certainly hurt you, but I’m sorry to say that having great grades and scores doesn’t really help you – it just means that you’re competitive with most of the rest of our applicants. MIT is very self-selecting in that regard.

Can I apply to MIT with A levels?
Actually, you should take your A-levels and apply to MIT while you are doing A-levels, or during the final year of A-levels, and definitely before January 1st.

What is the average SAT score for international students?
A perfect SAT score is 1,600, while the minimum is 400. The average score for math is 531, while the average score for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) is 536. Based on these numbers, if a candidate were to get a score of 1,100 or above, this would already put them in the above-average score bracket.
