从某网站学来一个新词:称MIT为麻技,也就是麻省技术学院的意思,其实天底下文人相轻,互相贬低对手学校的层出不穷。例如麻省理工称哈佛为哈佛社区学院。可是如果用新生提前录取的数据来说话,还是可以看出差别的(席琳:麻省理工和斯坦福大学的新生提前录取)。
去年(2020届)美国五大名校(PHYMS)的提前录取率数据分别为:哈佛 14.9%,耶鲁 16.9%,普林斯顿 18.6%、斯坦福 9.5%、麻技 8.4%。麻技为最低,也就是说难度最大,原因之一是麻技不考虑家族传奇,爷爷奶奶和七大姑八大姨这两代人的校友都不算数,是申请学生自己的本事。今年(2021届)除斯坦福拒绝发布提前录取的数据外,麻技的提前录取又创历史新低,为7.8%(席琳:麻省理工都需要什么样的学生?)。
- MIT Accepted 657 Students in EA to Class of 2021 - This year, 8,394 students applied for early admission to MIT, and we
have offered early admission to 657. These students hail from more than
500 high schools scattered across the globe, from New England to New
Zealand. We can't wait to welcome them to campus to join the 4,524
outstanding undergraduates who already call MIT home. Though they all do
different things — biology and bhangra, physics and feminism, rowing
and robotics — they are united by a shared standard of rigorous
academics, high character, and a strong match with MIT's global mission
to make the world a better place.

We deferred 5,853 applicants. These students will be reconsidered
without prejudice in Regular Action. Deferred students do not need to
send us anything new other than the February Updates and Notes Form,
which will become available in mid-January on your MyMIT account. We
will post a blog entry with more information for deferred students on
Saturday.
-
Because of the competitiveness of our pool, we have already informed
1,717 students that we will not be able to offer them admission this
year. This decision has been made with care, and it is final. I know
this can be a difficult decision to receive. Take a deep breath, shake
it off, and go crush the rest of your college applications this cycle.
-
The balance of the applicants - 167 - either withdrew from our process
before we issued decisions or had incomplete applications.
同时期包括哈佛耶鲁普林斯顿在内的八大藤校的提前录取率,都超过14%(H、P、Y是EA,其它五所是ED,其中的哥大比较小气,不敢公布提前录取率,但我们知道他去年的提前录取率是17.6%,比普林斯顿的18.6%稍低):
