There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes. It is merely the number and credentials of applicants from countries like India and China that MIT has different admission policies for them. I am pretty well informed on this because I have had a lot of friends going through the same process last year, only that the details of how and when it’s done is unclear to me. Anyway, thank you for your effort; I appreciate that you want to help! How was your experience? Applied RD right?
