Understanding the process: Composite profile for 2024-2027

Composite profile for the MIT Classes of 2024–2027

In this composite profile, we have averaged the demographic composition of the first-year classes of 2024-2027; i.e., the MIT student body as a current undergraduate attending MIT in the 2023-2024 academic year would have experienced their own class (on average). 

citizenship & self-reported ethnicity* % of class
U.S. citizens & permanent residents
Number of U.S. states represented: 49
90%
American Indian/Alaskan Native 2%
Asian American 41%
Black/African American 13%
Hispanic/Latino 15%
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander 1%
White/Caucasian 38%
No Response 1%
International citizens 10%

Total exceeds 100% as students may indicate more than one option (with the exception of international citizens without U.S. permanent residency, who are all classified as international citizens and excluded from all other categories). All percentages rounded to nearest whole number. 

The International Students Office has a breakdown of international admitted students by country at http://iso.mit.edu/about/statistics.shtml.
