Ok obviously you don’t HAVE to do USAMO or RSI to get into MIT if you’re white or asian. In my class alone, there are probably around 200-250 asian males. All of like what, 15 did USAMO, and maybe 7 or 8 went to RSI (if I don’t count Indians as asians). That’s like 10%.

The reason it seems that way is probably that those people stick out the most. I would agree that it probably is easier to get in as a girl or an URM here though.
