I haven’t met any International Students who live in the United States that have been accepted to ivy leagues or schools like MIT, Stanford or CalTech. So please comment if you have or know of anyone who might have.
MIT admitted 134 International students last year (https://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats/).
I don’t know if this matches your definition of “International Students who live in the United States”.
Wikipedia say International students “are students who chose to undertake all or part of their tertiary education in a country other than their own and move to that country for the purpose of studying.”
By that definition, they don’t live in the US before being accepted.
@RichInPitt I meant all students who are considered international for the admissions basis. For MIT, a student dependent on his parent’s visa is considered international. I was just wondering if there are any on this sub that might have such a case and have been admitted into colleges such as MIT.
Yes, students who are in the US because their parents are studying or working here in F1, J1, G, H1B, L, etc. status do get admitted to institutions such as MIT. So do students who are considered international because they are in the US in undocumented status.
International students do go to these schools. Just from my son’s small middle school in East Asia, international students have gone to Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, USC, UC Berkeley, etc. It’s a lottery for anyone as CC’rs like to say, but it’s not impossible if you are what they are looking for, particularly if you don’t need financial aid.
