ADMISSION PROCESS OF MIT (USA)

If you are an international student, you may not be familiar with the application process for MIT. This is a quick overview to help you understand how applying to MIT.
MIT considers any student who does not hold US citizenship or permanent residency to be an international applicant.
There are students from 116 countries at MIT. Approximately 9% of our undergraduates are international, and 40% of graduate students are citizens of other countries.
Most US students apply to MIT at the beginning of their final year of high school, and international applicants should do the same.
Only accepted students are required to send final grades, and MIT understands that they will not be available until the summer months.
Most applicants are 17-19 years of age. Some may be younger, especially if they have studied ahead; Some may be older, especially if their countries have mandatory military service after secondary school.
Students who have already enrolled at another university – either in America or abroad – must apply to MIT as a transfer student.
Every year more than 4,000 international students apply to MIT, and we can admit fewer than 150.
To apply to MIT, you must take some standardized tests and complete our application.

TESTS TO TAKE FOR MIT ADMISSION

International students – or domestic students who do not speak English natively – have two options for testing.

We have no preference between these options. It is your choice, and you should take the set of tests with which you feel the most comfortable (All November testing is allowed for EA consideration and January testing is allowed for RA consideration.):

Option 1: The SAT or the ACT, as well as two SAT Subject Tests: one in math (level 1 or 2), and one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m).
Option 2: The TOEFL (we do not accept IELTS) as well as two SAT Subject Tests: one in math (level 1 or 2) and one in science (physics, chemistry, or biology e/m). This option is especially recommended for students who do not speak English at home or in school, or who have been speaking English for fewer than five years.
