<p>blackhair1, worrying doesn’t help 
As long as you’re brilliant, you will get in even if the rate is 1% :)</p>
<p>I’m just kidding, I’m overreacting, dude. Still I am pretty nervous. </p>
<p>Uhhh… Isn’t almost every applicant brilliant?</p>
<p>They are all relatively brilliant 
Be confident. Trust yourself. At least it helps with your essays.</p>
<p>I hope everyone does well!</p>
<p>Only a few days left to polish those essays!</p>
<p>I think 5 people from my country were offered last year. haha.</p>
<p>At least there are multiple admits in your countries; my interviewer told me that only ONE person gets in from Oceania every year.</p>
<p>Oh man… 22 admitted from South Korea. Living more than half my life in the States and my Korean deteriorating like no other puts me at quite a disadvantage here…</p>
<p>But I did not realize that international admission rate was 3%. That’s… quite disheartening/scary.</p>
<p>Imaging how scary it would be for caribbean people.</p>
<p>(Like me)</p>
<p>I really hope I get in. But I know that I probably won’t. If I don’t get in, I would like to get in Toronto. If I don’t get in, I don’t know what I will do…</p>
<p>I LOVE MIT! I can’t indeed imagine not in MIT next year. I feel that it matches me, but after I have submitted the application yesterday, I worry that I don’t tell myself good enough, I worry that teachers don’t write a good recommendation. Well… I know worrying does not help.</p>
<p>If I get admitted in both UT and MIT, I don’t know which one I will choose though. I really love MIT, but UT seems very good also. I probably need to take a tour for 2 weeks to decide.</p>
<p>MIT sounds cool. Lol. But UT is not bad either.</p>
<p>Choose MIT, ALWAYS CHOOSE MIT.</p>
<h1>kenhungkk: So your job now is waiting Don’t worry, I think you will get in :)</h1>
<h1>MrPropapanda: Choose MIT I don’t know much about UT, but if you look at the weird building in MIT, you will love it :D</h1>
<p>
O_o</p>
<p>Are you at MIT, Rainier?</p>
<p>By the way, do you know what your country of origin is based on? Is it where you are a citizen or where you live?</p>
<p>hey, i need some advice here.</p>
<p>sat 1 scores still not out yet</p>
<p>deadline for mit application is dec 31. should i wait for the scores until 30, or send it tmr on 29?</p>
<p>From [this</a> page](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/international_applicants_helpful_tips/index.shtml]this”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/international_applicants_helpful_tips/index.shtml):

<p>Thanks. I mean if, theoretically, I have a Norwegian citizenship but live in, say, Korea, where there are a lot of applicants, where would I be considered to be from?</p>
<p>Hehe, well, I have a similar situation in reality. I’m from India (passport and citizenship wise) but live in Doha, Qatar (parents work here, so I have a visa).</p>
<p>I think the country is decided by citizenship, so in the case of your hypothetical example it’ll be Norway.</p>
<p>
You don’t need to wait for your SAT scores.</p>
