Registration Details

Registration for the 2027 MIT Science Olympiad Invitational is now open via this form and will close Friday, September 25th at 6 PM ET. We will guarantee acceptance of schools that meet either of the following qualifications:

• Schools that have placed Top 10 at the MIT Invitational the previous year
• Schools that have placed Top 10 at the National Tournament the previous year

All teams that do not meet the conditions for guaranteed acceptance will have their acceptance determined by a lottery. As we continue to grow our tournament, we aim to maintain a diverse pool of competitors while also upholding the rigor of our tournament. As such, we still strongly encourage all teams to apply, especially Massachusetts teams, regardless of their reputation or experience level.

Schools that would like to bring two teams can fill out an additional question on the registration form regarding why they need to bring two teams—the answers will be reviewed to make sure as many teams are satisfied as possible.

Registration Fee

The registration fee and financial aid information will be posted with the full registration details.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at scioly@mit.edu if you have any questions. We look forward to the upcoming season!
