<p>I read that four Indians (that is, with Indian citizenship) got into MIT this year.
Three were International Olympiad Medalists.
The fourth attends addresses conferences of scientists.
1 in 26 international students gets in. The competition is brutal.
If you are Indian (holding an Indian passport) and lack exceptional, international-level recognition, such as International Olympiads or the Google Science Fair, don’t apply.</p>
