<p>Hi
I am from India. I want to do a major in Neuroscience and Computers. Do I have a chance???
I am sure my essays are going to be fantastic. Why? I gave them 1.5 years of thought. My recs are in the process now … they’ll be top-notch too … my Physics teacher loves my research on neural networks and my English teacher for my recent play. So … CHANCE ME!!! As accepted or rejected. And also do mention some safety schools if all my given schools appear ridiculously out-of-reach. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>This is in the wrong forum.
please put all “Chance me” threads in the main MIT forum or the Chance me forum.</p>

<p>Welcome to MIT!!!</p>

<p>you have the test score no question, you have involvement, you have the grades, but do you have a passion? it seems as though you are all over the place…a good interview might boost your chances considerably</p>

<p>International admissions are notoriously… I don’t know what word I want to use, but it’s really really hard. You’re definitely in the running, but it’d be foolish to say you will for sure get in.</p>

6

<p>You’ve got a really good chance, but MIT’s admissions committee seems to be so capricious that I won’t like to give you any false hope but you keep the good work going- you never know.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say MIT’s admissions are capricious - but competition is high, especially among internationals, and tough cuts have to be made.</p>

8

<p>Admission rate from India is ~1%. So with that in mind, I’m going to give you this advice: count on being rejected. You’re obviously bright, you’ll do well wherever you go, but MIT is a reach for all international students.</p>
