Note that quotas do not necessarily have to be fully filled. In some years, there can be 0 admits from Oceania if the standard of the applicant pool is deemed too low.</p>

<p>Where did you get the quotas from?</p>

<p>From what I know, there are no quotas.</p>

<p>Because Penn has admitted 7 people from NZ last year and 5 people from NZ were admitted to Brown. I got these figures from the international admission officers themselves when they came to my city.</p>

<p>You don’t get these sorts of ‘quotas’ anywhere on the web…</p>

<p>and does international count as US citizens residing in those countries… cause those would skew the numbers as well</p>

<p>Yes, there is a huge difference between a one year snapshot and a quota system.</p>

<p>For example, the international admit rate for MIT was 3.90 percent last year. So if there were (say) six applicants from New Zealand last year, then statistically you would expect that the most likely outcome would be that none of these would be accepted. That being said, over the course of several years, you would normally expect the odd acceptance. And it is unlikely, but by no means unreasonable to occasionally see two acceptances in any year. This isn’t a quota, its probability.</p>
