<p>Man, I'm so envious of you people who get in Early!
MIT's always been my dream school :P</p>

<p>Anyways, I think this thread would somewhat be relevant to the "what are my chances" section, but I would like to hear the opinion of the MIT hopefuls.</p>

<p>I'm a non-citizen attending an American school (Northern Marianas Islands). Even though I have a Social Security Number, would I be considered an international citizen? </p>

<p>Anyways, my GPA with the APs is 4.7 (5 AP classes, 2 normal)
My SAT is 2290 (one sitting)
Rank is 1 of 20 (most competitive school on island)
Activities are broad, from School Newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Senior Class President, Youth Group President, Basketball Team, National Forensic League, Mock Trial, Vocal in a Band, etc.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Will I be able to overcome the barrier of non-citizenship? :D</p>

<p>Citizenship is the deciding factor in the "international or not?" question -- the admissions webpage says

In the MIT freshman admissions process, you are considered an international applicant if you are not a citizen or a permanent resident (Green Card holder) of the United States.

So yes, you'll be considered in the international pool.</p>
