I know that the GRE is usually for grad school applications, but I'm curious if MIT has any GRE requirements for their undergrad programs? Or is it just completely irrelevant for undergrad admissions?
The GRE is indeed geared towards graduate school applications and is not required nor considered for undergraduate admissions at MIT. For undergraduate applicants, MIT focuses on factors such as academic performance, standardized test scores (although they are currently test-optional), extracurricular involvement, essays, and recommendation letters. The GRE plays no role in the evaluation process for undergraduate applicants.
