<p>Thanks, Puddy! That's the first time I see a top-tier school openly publish specific numbers for intl. admissions.</p>

<p>I actually thought the rate would be even smaller (I read an article in The DP where some guy wrote that the percentage accepted for intls would be MUCH smaller)</p>

<p>edit: 40% chances for legacies??? that's crazy</p>

10

<p>Oo.. 2% more than MIT.. haha</p>

11

<p>Remember that though the internationals admission rate is low (6% sounds right), states like NJ have even lower acceptance rates (2%). States like NY and CT also have extremely low admissions rates...</p>

12

<p>2% for NJ? Where did you hear that? (I'm not questioning it!)</p>

<p>jhl, I think the admission rate is much lower for MIT.. I've heard 1.5 %</p>

<p>I believe jhl is right - MIT's international admit rate is "~4%". See:</p>

<p>As for NJ's admit rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it was lower than the national average once you removed faculty children and such, but I very much doubt it's 2%.</p>

14

<p>For internationals needing aid, it's 3% at Stanford.. I know it's silly to compare as 3, 4 and 6% doesn't make much difference but it's FUN!</p>
