<p>Mad613:In explaining EA results you cited a couple of possible explanations that just dont exist at MIT – “Each year the school has admission goals by geography (domestic vs. international, regions of the world & regions of the country), “diversity” goals and “Legacy” applicants just to mention a few.”</p>
<p>Re: 1) international “quotas” – internationals cant apply to MIT EA and there is no shortage of internationals applying in any event.</p>
<pre><code> 2) legacy applicants – Mit asserts that there is no preference for legacies.
