<p>The Massachusetts Institute of Technology saw a 0.07 percent decrease in applications, with 10,459 applications received.</p>
<p>The number is reported in the Yale Daily News.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what this will mean in terms of acceptance rate for RD applicants?</p>
<p>nothing. at all.</p>
<p>unfortunately MIT had too many enroll next year so I dont think the .07% is a big deal</p>
<p>pebbles is right</p>
<p>gosh gosh T_T</p>
<p>.o7%? we might call it statistically the same</p>
<p>that's like 10 people</p>
<p>the chances of getting in this year are smaller than last year. We're all screwed</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many international students applied?</p>
<p>anyone know what's the past year's admit rates for RD?</p>
<p>Wow, it went down a whole 7 applications from last year. Whoo. . .hoo. </p>
<p>Then again, MIT and Yale are the only 2 universities out of the 14 I applied to that went down in admissions.</p>
<p>100 intl gets in per year.</p>
<p>will i get in?</p>
<p>No-one here knows!</p>
<p>Princetonwannabe I know how many get in but I asked how many applied so I could do percentage chance :D:d</p>
<p>around 2000</p>
<p>Nah closer to 1600. It will be reduced this year to about 1500 because of increased yield.</p>
<p>how would increased yield affect the number of applicants...</p>
<p>Increased yield (last year) will probably, although not certainly, reduce the number of acceptances (this year) because MIT wants to have an entering class that it has space for. Whether applicants strategically decline to apply to MIT this year (which may or may not have happened in view of last year's housing crunch) is a separate issue.</p>
<p>Whoops when I was talking, I meant the total no. admitted. To get the no. of intl admitted take about 6-8% of that. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
