MIT receives many applications from very smart and talented international citizens.. Every year more than 4,000 international students apply to MIT, while the University admits fewer than 150. Even though the international application process is very competitive, the University still admits wonderful students from all over the world every year. There are students from 115 countries at MIT. Approximately 9% of our undergraduates are international, and 38% of graduate students are citizens of other countries. There is a strong international community at MIT.
In order to apply to MIT you must take some tests and complete the application. You should also try to schedule an interview with an MIT alum. Due to capacity issues only a limited number of interviews are available in some regions outside the US. If you live outside the US and your interview is initially waived, you will be notified if an interviewer becomes available and of any applicable deadlines.
