<p>[MIT</a> EECS - Frequently Asked Questions](<a href=“http://www.eecs.mit.edu/grad/faqs.html#1]MIT”>http://www.eecs.mit.edu/grad/faqs.html#1)</p>
<p>So I am not sure what qualifies as a “very strong background.” I’m sure if we look hard enough we could find some stats on incoming students and their backgrounds.</p>
