India

So, I saw the stack of MIT applications from India for this year. I won't say how many there are or how many they'll accept. About all I can do is point you to this website:

http://web.mit.edu/registrar/www/stats/geofinal.html

Divide that number by four and you'll get approximately how many they'll accept. The only other publicly available numbers are how many international kids applied last year, which is 2,745. Not all were Indian, mind you, but it puts into perspective just what admissions is up against.

I hope they didn't carry all of the applications up from the basement in one trip, you could hurt your back that way. It was impressive!

I'm sorry to anybody this is discouraging for, but it's the truth. Be confident in your application, you've played your hand, now it's down to MIT. Good luck, decisions in a month-ish!
