MIT Wait List Acceptance Rate

Wait List Acceptance Rate

MIT's wait list acceptance rates have shown significant variation in recent years. For the application year 2023, 619 applicants were offered a spot on the wait list, with 32 ultimately accepted, resulting in a 5.1% acceptance rate. This contrasts sharply with the application year 2022, where none of the 763 wait listed students were admitted, resulting in a 0% acceptance rate. In the application year 2021, 25 out of 632 wait listed applicants were accepted, yielding a 4.0% acceptance rate. These trends illustrate the unpredictable nature of MIT's wait list outcomes and the changing dynamics of admissions each year.
