MIT Yield Steady at Around 64%

May 7, 2010

Around 64% of students accepted their offers of admission to join the MIT Class of 2014,  about the same percentage as last year, according to admissions director Stuart Schmill ‘86.   The enrolled class of 2014 will have around 1,070 students and a demographic makeup similar to the class of 2013, he wrote in e-mail. The admissions office is working to select “a small number” of students to admit off its waitlist over the next week and a half, wrote Schmill.

Previously The Tech, reported Senior Associate Dean for Residential Life Karen Nilsson as saying the class of 2014 “might” have around 1,300 students, over 200 more than the class of 2013.  That information was incorrect.

MIT’s overall acceptance rate for this year’s admissions cycle was 9.7%.   A total of 16,632 students applied, and 1,611 were admitted to the Class of 2014.

The admission rate fell a full percentage point from 10.7% for the Class of 2013.
