Who are the Canadians applying to MIT?

<p>I heard MIT has a quota on Canadians (5 ppl), I want to see who is applying this year. Man, this is gonna be tough competition. Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>I don't think MIT has a quota specifically on Canadians. I believe they do have an international student quota but not for any specific region. They do try to spread out their accepted students though, so that may count for something.</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm not Canadian, but good luck still.</p>

<p>If you're interested, you can see the geographical breakdown of MIT students for 2005-2006 here. Although not large, the number of Canadian undergrads is currently second only to the number of Koreans.</p>

<p>A quota of 5 is not that much, considering Canada is so close. I'm sure they accept more qualified people than 5, so a quota shouldn't be an issue.</p>

<p>I dont know about the quota thing but if you want to know, one of my friends at school (UWC system) is aming for MIT this year too. And I must say, he is REALLY GOOD!
He applied ED to Princeton though but the mail hasn't arrived yet and he refused to send emai/phone them so basically he didnt know yet. If he gets in, there's nothing to talk about. But if not, he'll be one of your REALLY HEAVY competitors...</p>

<p>They do have a quota (the only one in MIT admissions, in fact) regarding international students. They read by country, but don't have quotas per country.</p>
