<p>Thanks for the info. One thing you have to consider however, especially since you really do not have the actual numbers and also considering the small size of Olin, is no matter how you look at it, Olin must be offering something special. Unfortunately, no one from Olin has commented on what that is, may be they have more important things to do. I suspect It is more than just free tuition. One thing might be their method of teaching. They do have some of the best professors, including some X-MIT faculty.The other may be the readily available research opportunities for undergraduates. I really do not know. That is the reason I asked the original question. I will definitely apply to several universities including Olin and MIT. What I am trying to do here is to get an idea as how to increase my chances of getting accepted. Also, I like to understand the differences between the two. I already know there are projects Olin and MIT partner on. By the way, I am totally aware that acceptance to either place is nothing short of a miracle, at least for me. I really do not have many special talents to put down on my application. I am just dreaming.</p>

<p>Congrats on your ea admission to two great schools. You must be special. No school can offer everything to everybody. I understand Olin is not really a good choice for your major. And good luck to everyone who works hard, no matter where they pursue.</p>
