I heard people who accepted to MIT transfer are mostly Caltech, Stanford, or Ivy students.

<p>Wrong.</p>
<p>MIT is looking for people that differ completely from their current student body. I wonder if you would be able to tell the difference b/n a Caltech student and a MIT student just by talking to them...</p>
<p>Ivy league transfers are much outnumbered by successful transfers coming from students attending top 25 - top 35 to top 50 schools.</p>
<p>But let's just wait patiently and see.</p>
<p>My incipient desire to transfer started with MIT and later evolved to encompass four other schools. I had to stay true to my initial inspiration in order to get a sense of completeness, so I applied despite the data and the rumors.</p>
<p>MIT's admissions office is one of the most openminded. Their decisions are limitato da nulla. As they say - "it doesn't matter if you essay is longer or your course evaluation form is missing... We look beyond all that."
So that's where I took them. If it doesn't work out then it wasn't meant to be...
I guess theonly thing that I can't understand is how everyone is trying to discourage me when it comes to these 6 spots.
All you heard is wrong. All you learn here too. It always is.</p>
