<p>I just stumbled upon this and must sya that I am surprised by what I see. I want to know your opinion on this as well. MIT</a> Office of the Provost, Institutional Research</p>
<p>What in particular is surprising?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That they were able to admit 50/50 men/women. You always hear about engineering schools being 30% women.</p>
<p>Too bad they don’t report application/admissions rates for EA vs RD.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There isn’t a detailed breakdown, but the numbers of applied and admitted certainly exist.</p>
<p>OperaDad, if you are that interested in historical data, Michelle Hernandez does a good job of tracking and summarizing these numbers. Here’s the relevant report for the college class of 2015, whose admissions are reflected in the CDS linked above: [Ivy</a> League Admission Statistics for Class of 2015 - Hernandez College Consulting & Ivy League Admission Help](<a href=“http://www.hernandezcollegeconsulting.com/ivy-league-admissions-statistics-2015/]Ivy”>http://www.hernandezcollegeconsulting.com/ivy-league-admissions-statistics-2015/).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The admissions office actually does report the EA/RD numbers on the website: [Admissions</a> Statistics | MIT Admissions](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats]Admissions”>Admissions statistics | MIT Admissions)</p>
<p>For last year’s entering class:
Applied EA 6,008
Applied RD 12,101
Admitted EA 680
Deferred EA admitted RD 224
Admitted RD (incl deferred) 940</p>
