Hey everyone, I'm considering applying to MIT for Early Action. I just wanted a quick idea of the acceptance rate for EA at MIT. How does it compare to the Regular Decision acceptance rate?
Hey there! MIT's Early Action acceptance rate has historically been higher than its Regular Decision acceptance rate, although the exact numbers can fluctuate from year to year. For the Class of 2027, the EA acceptance rate at MIT was 5.74%, while the overall acceptance rate was 4.8%.
That said, it's important to remember that Early Action applicants often represent a stronger group of students, which can influence these percentages.
Applying Early Action can signal your strong interest in MIT and may boost your chances slightly, but it's still very competitive. Even though the acceptance rate is higher in EA, you should still focus on presenting a strong application, including excellent grades, test scores, and extracurricular accomplishments. Good luck with your application!
