@rothstem I know about 5 students, including foreign friends, that got into MIT last year. Last year, three friends of mine who lived in the same city applied to MIT, but only one of them was offered an interview via Skype. I’m curious that if there was no EC in their city, then why MIT didn’t offer Skype interview for all three applicants?
Moreover, the interview happened in late February, so I thought that the admission committee already read their applications and chose who to interview.
Finally, only the applicant who was offered an interview got in. The other two were rejected.
