^So why read them by country?
By the way, I didn’t mean to say they’d only want a certain number each year. I just meant that they’d accept the best of the country as long as they qualify for MIT (academics-wise) - unless they’re all really horrible, in which case I have no doubt they’d reject them all, but that’s an unlikely scenario.

Needing diversity doesn’t exactly qualify for different states, which are still in the same country. Different countries, on the other hand, show extremely different cultures, and contribute to diversity considerably (and a lot more than diversity of states.)
