<p>Oh btw, Amol Bhave had a SAT score of 1900.</p>
<p>The guy who “contributed” to edX? Wow.
Maybe his essays were better…</p>
<p>^when you have something extraordinarily unique, I don’t think essays are important. He got in because he made a unique contribution to the Online Study Courses which MIT admires a lot.</p>
<p>
Damn the second short one! How should we answer it???</p>
<p>That’s just another proof of the “holistic” approach that MIT follows. While the SAT is an important part of the application, it is just that.</p>
<p>How many of you received an interview?</p>
<p>Well, my interview was waived by the admissions office. 
Anyway, where in the world is quiverfox? @quiverfox, you celebrating bro?</p>
<p>I was also rejected. I guess the perfect SAT II score and being ranked nationally in Archery and UKMT Gold and distinctions in Edx and Coursera just isn’t enough</p>
<p>@ RisingDragon. quiverfox is rejected. I found him in MIT Admissions Blog.</p>
<p>My interview was waived too.</p>
<p>Aw, man! quiverfox seems like a wonderful dude and MIT’s decision doesn’t change that for sure.</p>
<p>I’m an international student and I got an interview. However, I still regret getting one because the EC that I got was really racist…</p>
<p>
Congratulations! Care to share your application/scores?</p>
<p>I’m a Canadian who was accepted. 2170 SAT (740M, 720CR, 710W E:10), 720 MII and 710 Bio-E. </p>
<p>Certainly not a varsity athlete in the US, and I haven’t really competed in any STEM competitions (or anything of the sort, really). I do a lot of student government work, and I’m an advisor for my provincial government, but other than that, I guess they just liked my essays (or I should go play a lot of roulette).</p>
<p>Hey Guys…I’m back:D…with a Rejection…Thanks soo much guys for showing Hope:) Oh and sourav…***…I haven’t been on the internet for the past 8 days!!!</p>
<p>Well I learnt one of my biggest lessons from decisions at least…to not put all of one’s eggs in a single basket…and that that too with one which has MIT scribbled all over it;)</p>
<p>at least now I really know that MIT wants a international medal…to at least guarantee(at least somewhat :P) a glimmer of hope.
Oh and have you guys noted…out of the ‘n’ candidates they take(4/5/6)…n-1 have IMO/IOI/IChO/IPhO and the other 1 candidate has some special circumstances…</p>
<p>So the moral is that we were all jumping about for that 1 other spot…seems like a joke now:)…
Don’t know much about the other(exclusive of Bangladesh) countries…But this is the Indian tale…</p>
<p>this is not hate…but for at least those fools like me 
who actually thought they saw a ray of light…</p>
<p>^Exactly!!
I was one of those fools until December 2012!</p>
<p>Just received word from a friend in my class who got into MIT EA (US citizen…) and he said that 4 people got in (in total) to MIT from the UK, 3 early action (1 male (my friend), 2 females, all American citizens…) and 1 regular (international and female)</p>
<p>^ not sure where you got your info from - i know least one kid (international and male) who got in RD</p>
<p>I am a European Regional Chair of the MIT Educational Council. This year there were 11 students admitted from the UK. That is down from last year’s 15 (which was a record year). Admittedly, the UK does have a significant American expatriate community so that number is inflated by domestic applicants.</p>
<p>@Mikayle , thanks! Would you be able to tell me how many internationals were accepted from the UK??</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
