MIT Transfer Fall 2022

Colleges and Universities A-Z Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Whelp, after a brutal admissions season, thought it might be nice to start this thread.

Some basics:

  • MIT only accepts ~20 transfer students per year
  • Out of a typical applicant pool of 700+ (assuming this will continuously go up over the years)
  • Transfer rate of ~4%
  • A number of spots open for military
  • Typical internationals win olympics / olympiads

Personally hoping to transfer from Cornell, which I already know chances are low for. Any others in the same boat?

Why do you want to go to MIT?

As an MIT math alum, I have the same question as @MITPhysicsAlum. “WHY” is the first big question here.

You should have a very good answer to this question before you go through the trouble of applying.
