Hi all! I'm a prospective MIT applicant and was just curious about the interview process. Does anyone here know what percentage of MIT applicants actually get an interview? Thanks for any information!
Hello! MIT strongly encourages all applicants to participate in an interview if available. They attempt to offer interviews to as many applicants as possible, but availability depends on the number of volunteer interviewers in your area. Generally, around 65%-70% of applicants are offered an interview, with the percentage sometimes varying depending on geographic location.
If you don't receive an interview, don't worry. The absence of an interview will not negatively impact your application, as MIT fully understands that some areas might not have sufficient interviewers to accommodate all applicants. Good luck with your application!
