<p>Selectum, last year’s international admit rate was 3.38%. A significant part of the disparity is the applicant makeup. MIT gets enough applications from China alone to fill the class. From India, several times over. I have no published figures for Harvard, but talking to people who would know, I get the strong sense that Harvard does not get the same level of interest from Asia. This is not to say that Harvard isn’t popular there, just not as popular as MIT.</p>
