Incoming class of 2015 official stats :) web.mit.edu/fnl/volume/235/...
Wait Listed, its all I could ask for. Good thing I don't have a dream school
I'm very proud of MY WAITLIST! :D such an awesome school :) Quite the compliment although it leaves things unlikely :) ahh good day, pi day. bahah They amuse me:P
If you get deferred, don't look at this graph: college.mychances.net/colle...
What am I looking at here?
Mychances.net reported acceptances and rejections after people reported applying early and being deferred.
So the x-axis is the mychances.net predicted acceptance, and the y-axis is....?
EA?
Putting EA bumped me from 40.2% to 62.8%, but I've seen a very minimal difference between EA and RD at MIT.
Don't forget about all the people who get deferred and then get it. If you count people who get deferred and then accepted into the EA acceptance rate it doubles.
awwwwwwww another affirmative action debate
I'm a twelve year old minority and what is this
LOL WUT
Do not want
Wow.... someone hella average kid got into MIT from our school with a score of 1990 on the sats..... given that she is african american, that still should NEVER happen at MIT. Shes totally average (as in getting a B in calc AB), no notable ECs that I know of. I cannot comprehend how this happened, the admits must've been tripping balls when this went through.
I've heard of a lot of MIT acceptances because the applicants had money, this one guy was rejected at first, but his family donated a lot of money to the school and he had dinner with the dean so the school "reconsidered" his application and decided to let him in next year if he super seniors somewhere else this year
It's possible that someone might have extra factors that lead to admittance that you might not know about just from the social nature of your relationships with them... I generally try to give the adcoms the benefit of the doubt - I find it's better on my emotional well-being :D
To add insult to injury, she was from a hella rich household. I'm not really pissed myself, but merely disappointed with the adcoms. None of the people admitted choose to go to MIT this year from my school, i guess that would just be karma?
Looks like MIT is going to help build a fusion reactor in Russia: web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2010...
Ahh yes, like Chernobyl but with 10x the power?
Totally different. But the odds are that the National Ignition Facility will beat the MIT team to it: lasers.llnl.gov/
The early action option doubled my chances to 50%, adding a legacy dropped me down to 14%. A little funny, but EA is sounding good right now. (Now if only I had a good sport I'd be perfect: it's a shame music doesn't count!)

true to its nerdom, MIT will release their regular decision on PI. Meh.. I still got 1 more year till i apply.
I tried giving myself legacy to see how it would affect my chances and my chances dropped by 45%, loooooool
Before adding MIT to my applying list, I had a 22% chance of getting in, which seems pretty reasonable with my test scores and GPA. After adding it to my applying list, my chances dropped to 4%, which I know isn't right. I even played around with the boxes you can check when adding to applying, but it wouldn't change from less than 5%. Anyone have any insight to this?
FYI, the acceptance rate at MIT is around 10%, so you have a 3x better shot than a random applicant, which is a really good thing. You have strong stats, a 33% chance at MIT is really good.
Wow with that status, one would think that you know that there are dozens of VALEDICTORIANS all over the world trying to get into MIT! The numbers are only the 1st hurdle. You better have a nice list of activities...and be a very interesting person who wrote an epic essay!
This number hasn't crossed 22 for me, and I have like 4.0 GPA and 2200 SAT Score
83.9% of getting into MIT?!?! I don't believe it...
You are either not white, or a female. Thats kinda how it goes....
Yes, 91% is superb. Godzilla, you have fantastic stats and you have a great shot at getting into some top notch schools. (of course depends on certain circumstances, like essays etc)
Then I guess a 91% is superb? O.o, eh, you never know with sites like this.
Most people would kill to have a 33% chance at MIT. Those are very good numbers, if accurate, at a place like MIT.
I used to have a 15% chance here. It rose to a 35% chance and stayed there for a while. Now it dropped to 0%. This is very heartbreaking.
I can't believe I have a 29.9 percent chance here-that's high.
At Princeton I have like 2.4.
Once I get my new ACT scores back it will be even higher...i hope. Let's just see if I can keep my GPA from falling next year...I got it to fall from 4.0 to 3.9, in only one semester :(
