- It’s true that there is no guarantee that everyone who qualifies will be accepted, sorry. I thought the same thing even when I was a Junior in the MIT program.
- (yutarotanaka601) That’s right! If you become too fixated on one school (especially if it’s considered a top university), the feeling of despair when you don’t get accepted is overwhelming because there is a strong element of chance involved. It’s best to have about 5-10 universities that you’re interested in, but even if you have fewer, it’s totally fine.
