Did anyone get into MIT/CalTech from India?

<p>Just curious.</p>

<p>Who all got into MIT? Post here. I want to get in touch (via email?). I got accepted for MIT '15 from India. Just registered now to post this!</p>

<p>I think you need to change the title to “Did everyone get into MIT/CalTech from India?”</p>

<p>ibvtnz: Congratulations! Unfortunately, as far I know, no-one on this forum got into MIT. I think the MIT Club of India (or whatever it is officially called), will send you a mail soon enough, with all the admitted students’ name and emails. Again, congratulations!</p>

<p>A friend of mine got waitlisted at Caltech (I’m from Dubai) but he’s an Indian so I guess this counts or wait maybe it doesn’t …</p>

<p>Woah! There’s an MIT Club of India?? And they send you the names of everyone else who got accepted? Is there something like that for all universities/colleges, or just MIT?</p>

<p>There’s a Princeton club of India. Pretty extensive.</p>

<p>The Columbia Club of India is so small, thats its not even funny.</p>

<p>I have an Indian passport and I got waitlisted at Caltech and rejected at MIT. That MIT rejection still hurts. :frowning:
I really loved that school. Might try transferring…</p>

<p>Well I’m thinking of applying to MIT myself at the end of this year for 2012.
My profile goes something like this::</p>

<p>GRE 690V 800Q AWA Unknown
GPA 3.5 in Computer Engineering from Mumbai University
2 years working as a software developer at a startup
1 month internship at CMC
OK its not done yet, but I’m in the process of startin my own web development company with 2 of my friends and have designed a few sites already
I have a couple of National Quiz Certificates…
Was on My college’s editorial board.
TOEFL: Still to give, but I hope I’ll get over 105 or so</p>

<p>Does this seem even close to a kind of profile that a person would apply with for a Computer Science Masters in MIT???
Or even Stanford, UC Berkeley or UCSD???</p>

<p>Yep yep Im indian and I got into Caltech. Didnt apply to that other institute of engineering ;)</p>

<p>And what were your credentials my dear…
IS CalTech held in higher esteem than UC Berkeley or Stanford?</p>

<p>Well…my dear, Caltech is considered to be around the same level as MIT and Stanford and perhaps a little better than Berkeley. But I got in undergrad so those stats are not applicable to you</p>

<p>mystic gohan i need ur help</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got in-no small feat for an international student-Have fun & GL.</p>

<p>^this thread was for the Class of 2015!!</p>

<p>Okay silly question byt what does “” I got accepted for MIT '15 from India."""" mean?</p>

<p>Which course and how did you apply , etc?</p>

<p>

That means he/she got accepted to the MIT Class of 2015,i.e, for Fall 2011.</p>

<p>

That user seems no longer on CC.</p>

<p>My friend got into MIT on early action for class of 2017 and she is not even a medal winner:p</p>

<p>^ Mind sharing the name and course she applied for?</p>
