What is MIT looking for?
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is widely known as a centre for scientific and technological research. Situated in Boston, MA, it attracts students who excel in maths, science and engineering and challenges them above and beyond what they might've thought possible so that they are primed to go on and make the world a better place.
Each year, thousands of ambitious students apply for a place at MIT, and in 2022 only 1.4% of international students got accepted. The competition is notoriously fierce, with many applicants having published research papers and achieved gold medals in International Maths Olympiads. So, how do you know if you have what it takes to compete? Book a complimentary university strategy meeting with the Crimson team today and find out!
