QUOTED

"They [MIT] required college board tests for admissions, and I had some trouble in math. They had a remedial course, which was offered over the summer, and I went to take that and took the boards again. As I recall, their minimum acceptable level for admission was 500 and I ended up with 497, so I did not go to MIT."
