True, but they absolutely do consider field interest.

Alum here. Sorry folks for the non-admits. Fwiw, I doubt I would get in today. I was a stellar student but it amazes me how many more accomplishments today’s HS graduates have. They will do well no matter where they go.

MIT is looking for innovation and inventiveness. By-the-book high stats won't get you in. And of course comp sci and engineering majors are capped, doesn't matter that they don't admit directly to the major.

Holy smokes nobody got in. Should’ve got your kids into fencing!

also an alum. my kid was rejected - smarter than me by a mile, more accomplished, higher stats, better ECs. I am honestly a bit relieved because kid would have gone and I don't know if I want that life for them.

This is literally true for every T50 school. It's interesting that when kids are denied at MIT, it's "just a tough admit," but when high stat kids are denied at other top schools, it's yield protection or some kind of discrimination.

Because it’s kind of true?
