<p>Ben,
Can you tell me whether Internationals will be elligible to apply Early Action to MIT for fall 2006.
Also study the following scenario:</p>
<p>I got a letter from K lowry of RSI. I asked her that I was an international student and that I wanted to take part in RSI but that I was a senior. However, I also told her that I would graduate high school in late june 2006. She said that I would be elligible to apply in her mail.
Should I still apply to colleges for fall 2006 or leave it for 2007,assuming I were to apply to RSI.
Although i do feel that I'm ready to take on college as I would graduate in june 2006.
Just thought I'd get the opinion of adcomm of my top prority school.</p>
<p>P.S. I am an Indian student living in India</p>
<p>hm....i believe Ben is at CalTech forum, so ask him there</p>
<p>Thats Ben Golub. This is Ben Jones. Unless Ben Jones is on the Caltech forum. I didn't see him there 2 months ago :confused:</p>
<p>Ben Golub writes on the Caltech forum, but Ben Jones has added comments there as well. Ben Jones is the "Ben" you're interested in here. :)</p>
<p>Ben Jones announced</a> yesterday that the MyMIT portal had been updated, so you can expect the information there to be current. At that site, you'll see the following under Early Action on the Application Process page:

Please note that MIT's Early Action program is available only to citizens and permanent residents of the United States.

<p>you know, he also has an email address, if you have questions that want more timely answers.</p>
<p>Hey Vampiro,</p>
<p>Unfortunately international students can't apply EA to MIT. As for your RSI question, I'd post the question on Matt McGann's blog - he'll have the most educated answer/advice for you.</p>

<p>Ben---Thanks for the help.Would it be possible for you to post the answer here,it would be easier for me.
Also I would like to know what other high school research programs are carried out at MIT for which international students are also elligible.</p>
<p>Hi Vampiro,</p>
<p>Matt just answered your question on his blog. He said:</p>
<p>"I would say that while RSI is a great and amazing program, if you are ready to graduate after this year, I would not rearrange my entire life just for the program. RSI only admits a few Indian applicants each year from a large pool of of potential students. While you would certainly get a lot out of a program like RSI if you were admitted, I think that you could get similar benefits from moving on to a university, whether it is MIT or wherever else."</p>
