Applying to MIT
We oversee the application process for students applying for first-year and transfer undergraduate 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 and transfer applications for fall 2025 are closed. Fall 2025 transfer decisions are now available in the application portal.
✅ We require the SAT or the ACT for both prospective first-year and transfer students. Learn more about our testing requirements.
