MIT Transfer Thread

<p>I can't believe Stanford and Berkeley have transfer threads and MIT does not. Anyway, here we are.</p>

<p>So does anyone know if the over enrolling of the Freshman class this year is going to result in another very small transfer class like last year or will MIT be going back to admitting ~20 students like it used to?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know the notification date for Transfers? It is May 15th like the past two years or are they pushing it back to the June 15th?</p>

<p>i heard MIT takes like 5 persons a year.</p>

<p>Blackdream: Might want to do two</a> seconds of research before posting next time.</p>

<p>Numbers straight from MIT's CDS:</p>

<p>Year : Number of Transfer Students Admitted
1999 : 25
2000: 47
2001: 43
2002: 44
2003: 25
2004: 5</p>

<p>Do a little bit more research and you will find that the reason MIT admitted so few students last year because of over enrollment of their Freshman class. Which I made quite clear in my original post. </p>

<p>I then asked if anyone knew if this years high yield would affect us Transfers like last year.</p>

<p>fyad: Please take your abrasive posts elsewhere.</p>

<p>An MIT adcom posts on this forum; perhaps directing your inquiry toward him will prove fruitful. I am not sure what is alias is, but I am sure you can find it if you do a search. </p>

<p>Such is commonplace with blackdream. Ignoring him will be sufficient.</p>

<p>ignoring nspeds will do the job equally well. I wish this forum had an ignore feature.</p>

<p>Dude, it does. garvey, as you can see, there's a reason some people might be abrasive with him.</p>

<p>Since you're so good at researching, why don't you answer your own questions? Why have so many people become so hostile on these forums?</p>

<p>I posted on the MIT board about this and got a response from Ben Jones, who works at MIT admissions. He said that only a small group of senior admissions staff evaluates transfer apps and that they don't really say much about it...This adds nothing knew to what you already know. Good luck all.</p>

<p>Rejected. Letters mailed on March 13.</p>

<p>march?????</p>

<p>My fault! My freshman rejection still plauges me...That was mailed in March last year. My transfer rejection was mailed on May 13th. Sorry for the confusion.</p>

<p>anyone already heard from MIT, or, know when applicants receive decisions?</p>

<p>oh, found it out on the MIT forum....</p>
