International!</p>
<p>My father is from Ivory Coast but he is 1.5 gen French, so I would be considered as an international applicant.</p>
<p>
I am international, but I do not think there are so many Spaniards or Frenchies applying.
Yes, I got in early.</p>
<p>I hope to see you at Harvard 
you seem very qualified. Good luck!</p>
<p>^he got in MIT early, not harvard. Actually i asked kimathi if s/he got in mit (i knew the op was in mit already). what does W stand for in HYPW ? Williams?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You got in?!!??!
Congratulations! :)</p>
<p>Aw, thank you!
I hope so too!
MIT offer is a beast, however.</p>
<p>Yes, I got into MIT. :)</p>
<p>OP is a ■■■■■. International students cannot apply to MIT early. Moreover, I cannot find anyone from Barcelona in the admitted students guest book.</p>
<p>Nice run, you almost got me.</p>
<p>^good job for getting in MIT RD. The op sounds authentic though – he got rejected by UC Berkeley (from the fact that he sweared at Berk on their decision day). </p>
<p>Did you actually move around that much? Your parent must be a diplomat.</p>
<p>Internationals CAN apply to MIT early, PROVIDED that they do not apply for Financial aid. </p>
<p>Ints without finaid are considered in the same boat as US citizens. Ints with are not and can only apply RD.</p>
<p>^which country are you from?</p>
<p>@toughyear, thanks. I feel really blessed to have got in. No I did not in fact move that much. If you CC stalk me, you will find my actual location. I have mentioned it several times. :)</p>
<p>@Idosyncra3y I am 100% sure that international students can only apply regular action. This is because the international students are considered in a separate pool. It has nothing to do with financial aid, but rather with the international quota (which is capped at 8% of the class). Therefore in order for the evaluation process to be fair, MIT prefers to only have one evaluation session. Moreover, MIT is need-blind and full need for both international and domestic applicants. I believe you are talking about University of Chicago’s EA policy.
[MIT</a> Admissions: Early Action Versus Regular Action](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/early_action_versus_regular_action/index.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/early_action_versus_regular_action/index.shtml) </p>
<p>Moreover, the op is not on the guestbook, unless he is not actually from Barcelona. If he is willing to PM me his name, I can verify if indeed he did get in.</p>
<p>Sorry, this thread just screams ■■■■■. :)</p>
<p>^why don’t you pm him and find out? You can not check all accepted students (over 2,000?) unless the guest book lists every accepted student. you must be from a science-highschool in korea. good job, your parents should be very proud.</p>
<p>Well i donot need to check every name. Just the international ones which are just over 100. He is definitly a ■■■■■. As I said before, international students CANNOT apply ea.</p>
<p>
Well, you have not sent me a PM yet. </p>
<p>
That is Chicago’s policy- they waitlist or reject applicants if an international student applies early asking for financial aid (the applicants are not allowed to do that).</p>
<p>I was waitlisted- but received a ‘likely’ letter, so-to-say letter from the admissions. They recognized that I was not aware of the fact that international students cannot apply to MIT early. My interviewer in charge of Western Europe, (Spain), indicated that I would receive a favorable decision.
@kimathi:
Of course, then you would provide this link:
[MIT</a> Admissions | Blog Entry: “Likelihood”](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/likelihood.shtml]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/likelihood.shtml)</p>
<p>But it is a very different letter. They put me in the RD pool- gave me another shot to apply. That’s about it.</p>
<p>
Nairobi is pretty easy to find.</p>
<p>Sorry Kimathi, you are right. Not sure what I was getting confused with…</p>
<p>Congrats btw :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Complete lack of humility and originality.</p>
<p>“Chance me?” Okay: zero. You had no language or literature classes for your first three years of high school, which is required for admissions at most universities.</p>
<p>Lame. Really lame.</p>
<p>I have a friend who self-studied Linear Algebra. He said it’s easy as</p>
<p><em>sunglasses</em></p>
<p>pi</p>
<p>Yes I did! I got an early promise letter please let me know if you get accepted as well! Congratulations on MIT, although Harvard is better;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then you really shouldn’t have put EA on the original post. 
Especially considering the RA decisions were out by then. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do not appreciate this.</p>
<p>goodness gracious!! 100% across absolutely everything?!?! and an UNCONDITIONAL from cambridge? OP, I salute you. never in my life seen stats like yours!</p>
<p>
I got your point.
How’s Nairobi? You must have been a very unique applicant- South Korea—> Melborne FL —>Dubai —>Jamaica —> Nairobi----> MIT EA?</p>
<p>
Well, I couldn’t find your stats.
I had to check your posting history to explain my claim.</p>
<p>Nice ECs by the way. ( I won’t post them, since I respect your privacy)</p>
<p>Also, to everyone: No need to chance me. I will post my decisions!</p>
<p>
Uhm… Around 5-6 APs with grades of 5 should do an unconditional offer.
A friend of mine got a conditional offer with 4 APs (English Literature, Biology, Chemistry, and Calculus BC). He needed 3 more APs (Physics C, Psychology, and Euro History).</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone so far!
I will post my decisions this Wednesday.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! :)</p>
