Applying to MIT
We oversee the application processes for undergraduates applying for first-year and transfer admissions. We try to explain our process, help you understand what we’re looking for, and think about how to prepare for MIT. Most importantly, we try to encourage young people to be students and community members first, and applicants second.
Admissions announcements
✅ The first-year application is closed. The 2020 application will be available online in August.
✅ If you’re planning to apply to MIT this fall, it’s time to start thinking about when you want to take the standardized tests. Remember, MIT requires the ACT or the SAT, in addition to two SAT Subject Tests in math and science.
