GULP>MIT only accepts 10 Canadian students a year?

On an another note, I dont care what they say about financial aid, but if your an international with sufficient means to just afford the minimum (like transportation, and books), I’d recommend you not to apply for aid (not more than 1000$ anyway). Coz, also note that a lot of internationals (lets say 100(?) out of 123) are fully capable of paying.

I disagree with this advice.</p>

<p>MIT is need-blind for both international and domestic students, and a student’s ability to pay has no bearing on whether he or she is admitted – correlation is not causation, and even if many international admits are able to pay (where is the evidence for this?), that does not mean they were admitted based on their ability to pay.</p>

<p>Any implication that MIT considers financial need a negative in the admissions process is patently false.</p>
