I am a junior looking to apply to MITES and really want to attend this program; however I am a bit reluctant to apply as the program seems to not accept that many Asian students. I have parents with good incomes and graduate degrees so I feel like this ruins my chances of being accepted into the program. Can any MITES alumni or anyone really comment on this? I need to decide soon whether or not I should apply.
Note: I realize that “if I really wanted to go to MITES that badly then I would apply no matter what” but I don’t want to have spent hours on perfecting my application only to find that my social circumstances throw my hard work down the drain. There are other programs I am eyeing so I want to make the right decision here as MITES is my first choice.
Thank you to anyone who can help!
