# of appl. to MIT this year increases too?

<p>hey, does anyone know anything about the app. # to MIT this year?
other colleges seems all experiencing increased #s. so wut about MIT?</p>

<p>The number of early action applications was nearly identical to that of last year, if I'm not mistaken. :)</p>

<p>u are right~ but it was with SLIGHTLY increase.<em>like 10 or 20 more appl.s</em> but the problem is that this year MIT decides to admit less appls than last year. so what about the appl. # in RD this year?</p>

<p>The current freshman class is over-enrolled. There was a much higher yield than expected, so I believe they're aiming for the class of 2009 to be 990 students. Unfortunately, this does mean that there will be fewer acceptances this go around.</p>

<p>ok but for international its already bad enough lol 100 / year will stay i hope!</p>

<p>Gosh, reading a thread like this makes me nervous about those not accepted yet. It makes me appreciate soooo much being in already. For those not yet in, hang in there!</p>
