?????? 但凡申請理工方向的，沒有人不知道MIT， MIT是我最早知道的幾個學(xué)校中最心儀的學(xué)校。現(xiàn)在想來，這么學(xué)校官網(wǎng)，刷的最多的也是MIT。 只是最后申請，實在沒水平，不敢申了。雖然沒有申MIT，但是我覺得MIT的官網(wǎng)真的應(yīng)該人人都去刷一下，剛開始的時候，MIT有對夏校的推薦，可以根據(jù)MIT推薦的夏校清單去找尋需要的夏校。 到了申請季， 可以認(rèn)真看看MIT寫的“What we look for”，這個總結(jié)非常到位，基本就是理工科生的特質(zhì)。推薦給申請理工科的孩子寫小文書前好好讀一下。我不翻譯了，原汁原味最好，免得跑偏了。

Here are the key components:

Alignment with MIT’s mission

Remember that there are many ways to make the world better—we’re not looking for applicants to have cured all infectious disease in the world by the time they’re 15. Tutoring a single kid in math changes the world. Lobbying a senator to amend bad policy changes the world. There are thousands of examples.

Collaborative and cooperative spirit

The core of the MIT spirit is collaboration and cooperation; you can see it all over the Institute. Many of the problem sets (our affectionate term for homework) at MIT are designed to be worked on in groups, and cross-department labs are very common. MIT is known for its interdisciplinary research. If you enjoy working alone all the time, that’s completely valid, but you might not be particularly happy at MIT.

Initiative

Opportunities are abound at MIT, but they must be seized. Research projects, seed money, and interesting lectures aren’t simply handed to students on silver platters here. For those students who take initiative—who take advantage of what’s around them—MIT’s resources are unparalleled.

Risk-taking

MIT wants to admit people who are not only planning to succeed but who are also not afraid to fail. When people take risks in life, they learn resilience—because risk leads to failure as often as it leads to success. The most creative and successful people—and MIT is loaded with them—know that failure is part of life and that if you stay focused and don’t give up, goals are ultimately realized.

Hands-on creativity

MIT is an active, hands-on place. Innovation is risky and messy! Getting your hands dirty and trying something new is often the best way to achieve success. We apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems here; our Latin motto means “Mind and Hand.” In other words, you shouldn’t just enjoy?thinking,?you should also enjoy?doing.

Intensity, curiosity, and excitement

In a nutshell, you should be invested in the things that really mean something to you (we’re not particularly picky as to what). Explore! Choose quality over quantity—you don’t have to do a million things to get into college. Put your heart into a few things that you truly care about and that will be enough.

?????? MIT是通過自己的MYMIT系統(tǒng)申請，EA截止日是11月1日，注意需要一文一理兩個老師的推薦信。文理類別見下：

???? 此外， 還需要遞交SAT或者ACT，TOEFL及兩門SAT subject。EA在12月中出結(jié)果，RD一般會在有名的3月14日出結(jié)果。

???? 接下來我們看下MIT的錄取統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)，MIT在2018年一共21706人申請，錄取了1461人， 錄取率為6.7%， 在EA階段9571人申請錄取了664人， defer了6331人，感覺大家都收到好人卡， 這6331人當(dāng)中，最后又錄取了248人。 RD一共12135人申請， 最后800人錄?。ê琩efer的248人）。感覺EA和RD階段的錄取比例差別不大。不過悲劇的是460個收到WL的人，最后一個都沒有補錄成功。看來這種牛校的WL基本就是廢紙。

?????? 新生中，MIT的國際生比例占8%， 中國每年應(yīng)該是10人左右，如果男生基本是需要奧賽獎牌水平的，如果女生會好一點。MIT據(jù)說男生的錄取率只有5%不到，而女生的錄取率在13%樣子。不過真的很難，看看標(biāo)化水平就知道了。

???? 除非有大獎，否則你落不到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)以下的。MIT的學(xué)習(xí)壓力也是非常大的，開玩笑的說進了MIT的好處是再也不用和笨人一起工作，壞處是你成了那個最笨的人。
