Hey guys, I've always been a fan of MIT and it's been a dream of mine to study there. I'm wondering about the size of the competition – how many people apply to MIT annually?
As of the most recent data for the 2023-2024 admissions cycle, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received over 28,000 applications. This number fluctuates each year and can be anticipated to change for future admissions cycles. However, it's important to remember that the numbers aren't everything. What matters most in the application process is presenting your unique story and strengths, demonstrating how you align with MIT's culture, values and academic programs. Best of luck!
