Almost 12 hours on CC/etc today and still going strong!!
A few of you, in different threads, have asked for some statistics about
this year's admissions process. I don't have many of the specifics y'all
want (i.e. what percentage of USAMO varsity athlete valedictorians with
Intel awards from Iberia), but here are some general numbers so you can get
an idea of how selective this year's process was.
Applications:
- Total applications were up 6.2%, from 15,633 to 16,632. In a historical
context, the increase is incredible: in 2006, we had a mere 11,374
applicants.
- Our admit rate was 9.7%. That's down from 10.7% percent last year due to
increased applications with an inelastic class size, and predictions of
increased yield (more people who get in coming to MIT). In 2006, our admit
rate was 13.3%.
Demographics:
- Our incoming class is 53% male and 47% female. The male/female applicant
ratio is slightly higher in favor of men. However, women who apply to MIT
tend to be self-selecting - they tend to really, really want to come here,
which makes them stronger applicants overall.
- The class of 2014 is 36% Caucasian, 30% Asian, 14% Hispanic, 9% African-
American, a few percentage points for assorted "other". All in all, it's
about 75% "over-represented" and 25% "under-represented."
- 7% are international. The international admit rate this year was 3%. As
always, our international acceptances are out of this world good. They have
to be.
- 14% are first generation to college.
- 67% attended public schools, 18% attended private schools, and the rest
attended an assortment of religious/homeschool/etc.
Other:
- 25% of our applicants were valedictorians of their class. 51% of the class
of 2014 are valedictorians. HOWEVER, of the 2196 valedictorians who applied
, only 427 were admitted. So being a valedictorian was not your ticket,
though it is a good thing! In any case, 94% of our admits were in the top 5%
of their class. Our median SATs were in the mid 700s for all applicants.
- 31% of the class were identified as being "academic stars". Examples of
academic stars include being a Siemens Finalist, qualifying for the USAMO,
and so forth. Like with everything else, being "starry" in this way is a
good thing, but it doesn't secure you a spot in the class. Of the nearly 900
academic stars who applied, less than 500 got in.
- 19% of the class were identified as being art, music, or athletic stars.
These are people who may have played major concerts as soloists, or who have
been recruited to be varsity athletes. One of our art stars has designed
several US stamps and a major art installation at the UN, and has been
supporting his family since the age of 8. Same as with the academic stars,
this helps, but isn't a meal ticket: of the 900+ AMA stars who applied,
around 300 got in.
These are the best data I can give you. Like all data-posts, they're going
to be necessarily reductive.
They don't capture the personal qualities, leadership abilities, teacher
evaluation support, interview, etc, all of which are, on balance, much more
important than any criterion mentioned above.
Don't try to use these numbers to "chance" yourself. If you've read anything
I've written over the past 12 hours, just remember that the process is
unbelievably, astonishingly complex, takes many people countless hours to
perform, and cannot be replicated by simply looking at someone's class rank
and SAT scores.
We have a real commitment to transparency, honesty, and earnestness here at
MIT, and so I wanted to share these numbers with you to give you a sense of
how we do things and what an incredible class we have selected. | f******y 发帖数: 2971 | 2 对亚裔算友好吗?觉得international的那7%里应该有不少亚裔的。美国国内招的亚裔
