Chingoo

For anyone on the MIT BCS waitlist: "I can tell you that we’re very close to hitting our target enrollment number which means it’s very unlikely that we’ll be pulling candidates from the waitlist this year. I hope this helps you with your decision to entertain other offers you’ve received." From Julianne Gale Ormerod

Hey folks, any idea how many interviews MIT sends out (and how many of those are accepted)? Any tips? It's like my only real shot.
