<p>Well, now you do. MIT also specifically and explicitly states that they will not consider their own undergraduates for its PhD program, but only for its master’s program, and only because of that program’s unique characteristics. </p>
<p>*Does the Department admit its own S.B. students to the graduate program?</p>
<p>We consider our own undergraduates for the M.S.CEP program, but for no other degrees. This policy is difficult for us, because we must turn away some excellent students. However, we feel very strongly that our students benefit by going to another school for an advanced degree. We make the M.S.CEP exception because the Practice School has no equivalent at other schools.*</p>
