<p>I'm talking with an indian boy right now, He is saying that he got a scholarship at MIT for the class of 2016, is this possible? He also said that he will participate at iPho 2011, representing India.
I asked for SAT scores or TOEFL, but he said that he had not taken these exams.</p>
<p>??</p>
<p>He may have meant that he’s applying external scholarships towards MIT.</p>
<p>But, uh, if he said 2016, and he hasn’t taken any standardized tests, I think he might be pulling your leg.</p>
<p>Me: “How did you get a full scholarship for MIT ?”
The guy: “It was through an contest held in april at cape canevaral.”</p>
<p>:|</p>
<p>He is pulling your leg.</p>
<p>MIT doesn’t give out scholarships. They meet your full financial need.</p>
<p>In general, confusion can arise because MIT gives out need-based financial awards, which they refer to as “scholarships.” Many people assume that “scholarships” refers to merit-based awards.</p>
<p>But it sounds like this guy is messing with you.</p>
<p>Or he is referring to one of several other schools with the acronym “MIT.”</p>
<p>Haha Maharashtra Institute of Technology!</p>
