The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in keeping with its reputation for selectivity, admitted 657 out of 8,394 early applicants to the Class of 2021, for an acceptance rate of 7.83%. Last year’s ED acceptance rate, 8.45% of 7,767 applicants, was a tad more generous but still pretty daunting. The lesson: if you’re planning on applying to MIT, keep those grades up!
