MIT is one of the preeminent engineering, science, math, and technology universities in the world. Officially called the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. There are about 4,500 undergraduate students, and the acceptance rate for the Class of 2027 was 4.8%. For the Class of 2028, it dropped to 4.5%. The Early Action acceptance rate was only a little bit higher at 5.3%, and the acceptance rate for international students was terrifyingly low at only 2%.

MIT, or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a world-renowned university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, right alongside Boston, that is best known for cutting-edge technological work and research. This doesn’t just mean building apps and the like, though, at MIT, technology touches every subject and field, from the obvious (say, computer science) to the more obscure (say, the classics). They admit that they are “obsessed with numbers.”
