Can anyone verify this?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

<p>Massachusetts</a> Institute of Technology (MIT): International Transfer Admissions, undergraduate transfer students, government of kenya</p>

<p>Is what said on this link true?</p>

2

<p>Wow. Just wow. Hopefully that isn't true.</p>

3

<p>never heard of that, but it's true that international transfer admission is insanely tough.
transfer admission acceptance rate is already 6%, international should be much less.</p>

4

<p>As far as I know, this is categorically untrue.</p>

<p>Another answer on the same webpage says that most transfers are international, which I do not believe to be true -- although I didn't know any transfers myself, The Tech profiled a few one year, and they were all domestic.</p>

<p>I passed the question along to Matt, and hopefully if he's not too busy he will reply.</p>

5

<p>The only person I know who got in as a transfer was domestic and unsponsored.</p>

<p>Matt has spoken!</p>

The information on this site is not accurate. We admit the best transfer students from
our pool; there are no "sponsorship" considerations or "requests" from the US or foreign
governments.</p>

<p>You can read more about the results of this year's transfer admissions process here[/url</a>]
and more about the transfer process in general [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/admissions/transfer/%5Dhere%5B/url%5D.%5B/quote">http://web.mit.edu/admissions/transfer/]here.

<p>Ehh.. then who is that Sue Kayton?</p>

<p>Daniel</a> Barclay memorial site
so she is the mother of Daniel Barclay? I didn't know that happened a little over a year ago.</p>

8

<p>She's listed in the alumni directory as a '78 alum who's a member of the Educational Council, and it does look from her site as though she's his mother.</p>

<p>So she is an EC, but it looks like in this case she is giving incorrect information about the MIT transfer admissions process.</p>

9

<p>Perhaps it was that way when she went to school there. Thats a long time ago though.
Hopefully someone can get that page corrected so the transfer hopefuls will not freak out because they are not sponsored.</p>

10

<p>I definitely hope so. It's not good to have incorrect information given out by someone who's affiliated with MIT as an EC.</p>

<p>But Matt knows about it now, so hopefully it will be taken care of.</p>

11

<p>Kim Hunter, who runs the Educational Council, also knows. This will be taken care of, and the information about international transfers is very definitely wrong.</p>
