<p>Also, I heard from a friend of my dad's that being an Egyptian I have an advantage because they only allow 1 or 2 Egyptians a year, and everybody agrees with me that no other Egyptian can possibly think of applying to MIT ( ambitious I know, but honestly nobody here thinks about the USA to start! ). So is this quota on Egyptians true or what?
So, should I try applying, or will it just be a waste of time?
Honest answers please! Thank you! 😄</p>
