the video was really interesting. i am doing my IBDP currently. so i wanted to know that if i get 40/45 grades and score good in extended essays(mini PhD) is there any chance of getting accepted there for bachelors in electrical or chemical engineering. my subjects are as follows:- Math AA (Analysis and Approaches)(Additional Higher Level), Physics (Additional Higher Level), chemistry (Additional Higher Level), English (Standard Level), hindi(Standard level) and Business Management(Standard Level). i have not participated in international Olympiads but i participated in INDIAN SCIENCE OLYMPIAD few years back.

Hi Samuel. Habe fragen, ich hoffe wirklich du hilfst mir da, ich möchte bei MIT studieren: Dein Triathlon Preis, hilft der dir auch in einen Studiengang reinzukommen, der gar nichts mit Sport zu tun hat, hilft hauptsache irgendeine Errungenschaft in der Welt fürs angenommen werden? Ich möchte im IT Bereich dort meinen Bachelor machen. Kann ich mich für einen Master dort anmelden, wo der Bachelor mittendrin gemacht wird? Mein Eindruck nach, scheinen sie begabte Leute anzunehmen, kann ich mit einem Motivationsschreiben die überzeugen? Vielen Dank im voraus ^^@@SamuelBoschMIT

When talking about Olympiads like IPhO, IMO, IOI and IChO I think it is very important to mention how elite these competitions really are. For the IMO, only 6 students from the entire country get selected through a multi-stage rigorous selection process. It's not the type of thing you can just be like "Oh I'm 16 now, I want to go to MIT, I'll just go and do the IMO." Really for these competitions you have to have experience with the subject from a very young age. (I think IPhO and IChO might be a bit easier but by no means "easy"). A much more achievable goal would be to do well in your country's national Olympiad. (Speaking about the UK in maths), around 1500 people (mostly aged 16-18) take part in the British Maths Olympiad Round 1 and around 120 in Round 2. Both of these contribute to selection for the IMO team but there are elite camps held in Oxford, Hungary (training with the Hungarian team) and Cambridge with 20 or so people which are used for selecting teams for a multitude of international competitions like the Balkan maths Olympiad, Romiania master of mathematics, European maths Olympiad for girls and a few more (the Cambridge camp is the most important). Those types of goals are much more attainable for someone to start to learn later in life because really to have a chance in this type of stuff, you need experience over a very long time. (The same is true for chess) Most importantly knowing Olympiad kids, their mindset isn't "I am doing this just to go to MIT (or whatever top university)." Instead they just really enjoy the subject and are extremely talented so just so happen to get into top universities. If the only reason to do Olympiads is to get into a top university, then it isn't really worth it. You have to enjoy it too.

I'mma say something cruel. You have to be lucky for that. In countries with less oportunities like mine, is really hard to do something like that. I'm so lucky because I'm in a place that helps me to depolvent my maths skills, but no everyone has the same luck. And it's sad because there's people that deserves it. And MIT consider if you go to International competitions even if you didn't get nothing, a friend enter in MIT and she went to IMo twice, first she got nothing and the next year a honorific mention. She's lucky too. I think I talk a lot about nothing, but in my country Is really hard enter in that competitions, if you're not lucky, if you have no money, you're off. The saddest thing is that goverment doesn't want to help. The organization helps the students to go to the international competitions, but you have to pay a mensuallity. And if you don't have money they can't help you, is not their fault. It's my shitty goverment. (I don't know if I wrote everything well, I'm not good in english, but I'm still young and I'm learning, so sorry for my grammar).

I'm quite envious of these opportunities people have at a young age, I went to an extremely poor school that did not care about academics at all; the work was not rigorous and I found every class boring/infantile which led me to develop a great apathy towards academic work. There was no place for me, nor any recommendations from teachers for how I could challenge myself-I was not even conscious of the fact that I could download pdfs online and learn on my own. But I suppose the past is the past and there is no use regretting it, I'll simply keep taking solid steps forward in the direction I want to go, to become the person I aim to be.

Another international competition worth mentioning on uni application is the International Chess Olympiad. I was privileged enough to have participated and competed at the 39th one in Russia at only 11-year-old (the youngest at that time). I mentioned it on my uni application. Pretty sure it helped me to stand out. Btw I'm currently studying physics at a world's top 10 university.

Hey Sam, I just stumbled upon your channel since it was recommended to me. Your information matches with what I’ve heard from other people. I just applied to MIT (I am from USA/domestic) and yeah I medaled at one of the international science olympiads/represented team USA this past year so hoping to get in as class of 2027!!! I also published a research paper by myself which happened to be huge for my field so I submitted that as part of my portfolio! I highly disagree with building up everything just to apply to college. The mindset almost all top olympiad kids have is just we do everything for fun :D Many medalists and campers I know do olympiads purely for fun, and everyone studies hard because it’s something they are truly passionate about and not because they want to get into Harvard or MIT or any other college. If you are good at what you do, you will automatically be recognized and offered admission to top colleges :)

Definitely one of the ACTUALLY useful videos out there for international students. Great job! However, you mentioned that you don't need to be a genius, just regularly smart. Of course, there isn't a strict definition for 'genius' or 'smart', but I'm almost certain that you, and the people in this video aren't just 'regularly smart'. Sure, maybe not geniuses, but way above regularly smart. It takes a lot of innate talent and skill to make it to the International Olympiads, I don't think it's something that anyone who's 'regularly smart' can achieve, even with a lot of hard work (please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't done Olympiad prep so far). Please don't think I'm Criticising you, I loved this video, it's probably the best out there, but I'd be interested to hear your opinion on the significance of talent for Olympiads and the like, I'm quite curious about this!

Thank you for your comment :) I think this also depends on which country you're from. If you're trying to get into team India or team China, then you do have to be a genius. Simply because qualifying there is as hard as winning a gold medal. But for most other countries, it's more a question of hard work (and resources available to you) than actual intelligence. I know many many people who went to the IPhO, and I know many of them well enough to estimate how naturally gifted they are. And surely, all of them are above average intelligent. Probably even in the top 5-10%. But that's about it. They just worked like crazy :)

Lot of people who go there are like students from those school that especially made to prepare or kids who prepared from young age like elementary school

Totally vouch for the sports tip! I’m an international student from the UK who just got admitted to MIT’s class of 2026 and while of course the rest of your application, academics and character is important, I think it might have been the extra push from the coach that made my application stand out! If it’s an option available to you, definitely give it a shot! Also, while a lot of the fellow admits I’ve met did participate in Olympiads, it’s by no means a requirement. I think a more general tip is to pursue what interests you to a really high degree - if that happens to be mathematics, physics or informatics, then the Olympiad is a good bet. However, if you’re an international applicant reading this, don’t be disheartened if you don’t have Olympiad experience.

This has been probably the most (and only) helpful video for prospective international students. As a Pakistani, I do consider myself among relatively smart students (good grades and standardised test scores - type 1 as you mentioned) but unfortunately I didn’t know of Olympiads until my junior year started. I do have applied to a very selective summer program though, and with some more extra-academic exposure I might just get in (probably not - thoughts and prayers needed). With that said, thanks a lot for this video; I am glad I came across this!

Hey Ammar, thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it! Btw, this is the first time someone has published admissions stats for internationals at MIT. I reconstructed this chart based on old blog posts that I found, and info that I heard on campus I also only found out about olympiads and competitions quite late but, with a lot of motivation, you can still catch up reasonable well. Even if you don't make it to the IPhO, you still stand (relatively) good chances with other extracurricular activities. And also, MIT isn't the only good school. And the bachelor's degree isn't the only opportunity you will ever get to go to MIT. But either way, I wish you best of luck with your application. Would be really awesome if you managed to get admitted to MIT or any other university you like 🙂

​@@SamuelBoschMIT AFAIK, the appropriate Admissions Officer for Olympiads (yes, there is one assigned and there has been one for the last two decades) has said things like (compiled from quora, College Confidential, talking with the Admissions Office, being an interviewer): They have rejected as many or more IMO gold medalists as they could accept, Yes, they are aware of the difficulty and the level of ability of those who have been in the International Science Olympiads, YES, they recruit from the ISOs assuming you do well (and the Admissions Officer travels to the olympiad when possible). No, they don't value medals in and of themselves -- this is one way of many to demonstrate you are world-class. Applicants definitely need to demonstrate great academics (there was one American IMO two-time gold medalist who is not at MIT, although he is doing fine as evidenced by his pretty great Putnam results) Applicants should think about how they would contribute to the community and how they can demonstrate that. I've compiled a lot of countries over the last few years, so here goes: qr.ae/pGUMQe (Bangladesh) qr.ae/pGUgwN (Pakistan) qr.ae/pGqeyC (Indonesia) qr.ae/pGmNlq (Brazil) qr.ae/pv2J9M (Canada) qr.ae/pv2JeT (Canada) qr.ae/pv2JeU (Canada) (and I know of Thomas Guo, I wrote about him a bunch of times) I'm sure I've profiled other countries, but I am forgetting :) FYI, I was NOT an International Science Olympiad medalist at MIT (where I was an international student as an undergrad). I did have a lot of other things going on though (was national-level in Canada for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics; did USAMO, Canadian Mathematics Olympiad, 2x AIME; captain of first-place team for UBC Physics Olympics after I was admitted; president and founder of sci-fi/fantasy club; multiple musical groups, provincial semi-finalist for French horn concerto competition; 4.0 unweighted GPA [top 2%] in an academically oriented high school, had all A+ in STEM, could have graduated a year early and still gotten into good schools like UBC, a bunch of other things going on ... but I was from a different generation).

I've lived most my life with no ambition and just studied enough to get by. I was never given any extracurricular opportunities or Olympiads. There were no clubs in my school or anything of that sort. I aspire to get into a top school for MS but have no idea how to go about building my portfolio in my current condition. At the moment I lack the knowledge to do research and build projects but will get to it soon. What do I do to get into a top MS program in the US?

Hey there, Thanks for your comment and congratulations on your really impressive accomplishments. If you explain in your application what happened in that one year, I am sure it won't matter too much. They will surely understand that :) Everything you did is truly amazing and very impressive. There is just one additional piece of advice I have for you: don't mention anything religious in your application essays (or anywhere else). If the wrong person reads your essays and sees something such as "by ALMIGHTY's grace" or "Lover of Allah", it might just bias them. Obviously, MIT has complete religious freedom. But humans are humans, so be careful :) I wish you best of luck with your applications 🙂

Hey Leonhxrd, here is a bonus loophole just for you, as one of my favorite subscribers 😉 Harvard university! As a Harvard student, you can take as many classes at MIT as you want. Many of my friends really wanted to study CS at MIT, but couldn't get admitted (not sure if they even offer master's degrees in CS at MIT). So they got admitted to a Harvard CS program. It's not that Harvard alone wouldn't be good enough (obviously), but they also wanted to get MIT experience, so they're talking half of their classes at MIT. You could maybe do the same with a masters degree at Harvard in Math, and then simply take any classes you want at MIT. I'm gonna do things in the opposite direction. I'm doing my PhD at MIT in CS, but I'm gonna take business classes at the Harvard Business School next year. I hope this helps 🙂

@@SamuelBoschMIT Hey Samuel, that’s another great loophole, thank you very much ^^ By the way, I also noticed the loophole from the video for European top-universities. For example Cambridge Part III (so their mathematics Masters) has had offer rates of up to 50% in the last years (I think this numbers is also accurate for international students, or at least for students from the EU), so the chances to get an offer are quite good if you have very good undergraduate grades (one needs a First in the UK grading system, which, according to Cambridge, is equivalent to 1.5 or better in German grading, to apply there). :)

But, due to a a number of reasons i realised i have no shot to get in for undergrad.😅 Now, i am preparing for the entrance exams to get into some of india's top engineering schools(fingers crossed). However, I have made it a point to come to mit and am figuring ways out haha. I know this is a shot in the dark but i would love to work on something like Quantum AI at MIT through the MSRP programme during my college years as a CS undergrad. Please make a video about it if you ever can, or else just take me under your wing as a visiting student when im in college 😂. BTW you're really an inspiration to me as you too got into MIT as an international student. i'd love to know your thoughts about the MSRP(MIT summer research scholar programme) at mit!

Hey Siddhant, thank you for your comment - I really appreciate it 😊 It's definitely a great idea to work towards such a goal. First of all, I wouldn't advise you to focus so much on just one single institution, such as MIT. Caltech, Stanford, Harvard, CMU, Yale, and other institutions are more ore less just as good, so applying to all of these will significantly boost your chances I do have a high-level video about my PhD research, in case you haven't watched it yet? It's called "quantum artificial intelligence", and you can find it on my channel. I don't really know anything about the summer research scholar program, but there are a few things I have to say here. If you get to MIT in ANY form (even if it's just for a summer program), this will give you access to all of the people here, and once they get to know you personally, this will probably 10-100x your chances of getting admitted. I've seen this so many time - people come for one exchange semester, and then they get admitted to MIT for their PhD or something like that, simply because someone already know them 🙂 I hope this helps, and I wish you best of luck!!!

Servus Samuel, ich bein ein deutscher Zuschauer bei dir und stehe zur Zeit vor meinem letzten Jahr Schule. Nach meinem Abi würde ich gerne an einer Elite (Technischen) Uni studieren (MIT, Caltech irgendwie sowas). Und meine relevanten Punkte meines Lebenslaufs bisher wären diese: im MINT-Bereich: -3. Platz bei nationalen (Gruppen) Wettbewerb von DLR zu Energiespeicherung und Windenergie (eigenes Windrad mit Energiespeicher gebaut) -2. Platz auf nationaler Ebene beim internationalen CanSat-Wettbewerb (auch Gruppe) von esa und anderen (eigenen funktionierenden Mini Satelliten gebaut) -2. Platz im Gruppenteil bei Tag der Mathematik organisiert von Zentrum der Mathematik (Landesweit) -4. Platz Einzel bei Tag der Mathematik organisiert von Zentrum der Mathematik (Landesweit) -und einige andere Wettbewerbe aber nicht mit erwähnenswertem großen Erfolgen (IChO, IPhO, Matheolympaide, Mathekänguru, Informatikbieber, Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik - all sowas halt) Neben den Wettbewerben auch: -Teilstipendium für eine Woche zu nh Mathe Veranstaltung vom Zentrum für Mathematik -MINT Zertifikat der höchsten Stufe im sozialen-Bereich: -eigene Begabtenförderungs-AG *leiten* an meiner Schule im Rahmen des Bundesweiten LEMAS Projekt -Selbst auf einem KZbin Kanal (EinfachSchule) kostenlose Lerninhalte für andere Schüler erstellen (zur Zeit 15k Subs und um die 3,5 mio aufrufe) -Private Nachhilfe geben weiteres: -Abi wird ca. 1,1 und alle MINT Bereich Fächer werden 15 Punkte -Guinness World Record halter fürs schnellstes tippen aufm Handy -über 10 Jahre Klavier Erfahrung -SAT und toeffel mache ich demnächst Jetzt wollte ich dich in Zuge dessen fragen - was empfiehlst du mir so noch zu machen in meinem einen Jahr an der Schule? Ich überlege noch ein Paper zu schreiben in dem ich Strömer (Flatterbänder) näher untersuche und die Auswirkung einzelner Parameter dabei. Aber was gibt es noch wo ich vielleicht was machen sollte, um höhere Chancen zu haben angenommen zu werden an einer der Elite-Unis? Kannst du mir was empfehlen worauf ich noch mehr Fokus jetzt und auch in Zukunft legen sollte womit ich mehr rausstechen könnte? Außerdem vielleicht was ist deine - bitte realistische - Einschätzung: gehöre ich mit diesen Sachen zu einem potenziellen Studi oder ist das noch nicht krass genug was ich mache für MIT, Caltech, etc. Ich freue mich auf deine Tipps und mach weiter deinen Videos - die sind wirklich gut!!

Und als Mann aus Deutschland wirst du da (so verrückt wie es klingt) dich gegen einige Kandidaten durchsetzen müssen die genauso Krasse Lebensläufe haben, und daher ist das ganze wieder etwas Glücksache. Empfehlung: bewirb dich bei mindestens einigen Top Elite Unis in den USA (Harvard, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Stanford, Caltech, …). Hatte mich nur bei 3 beworben. War win fehler im nachinein. Schau auch mal nach Oxford/ Cambridge. Da wäre ich wahrscheinlich reingekommen, war aber nicht schlau genug damals im mich zu bewerben. ETH Zürich als backupoption.

Dein Video auf was du verwiesen hast kenn ich bereits - trotzde, danke Da du ja aber auch bei den applications bei MIT was machst hatte ich mir vielleicht ein Tipp von dir erhofft - auf was ich mich mehr konzentrieren sollte/könnte so für mein letztes Jahr. Z.b. hatte ich mal gehört, dass man in Amerika auch sehr viel Wert darauf legt was soziales im Lebenslauf zu haben und nicht rein fachtechnisch aufgestellt ist. Sollte ich vielleicht noch viel mehr soziales machen? Sollte ich noch mehr Aktivitäten im MINT Bereich nachgehen? Mehr hobbys vertiefen? oder ganz andere Vorschläge? So klar mach ich auch das was mir wirklich spaß macht und worauf ich bock habe - aber das ist irgendwie alles und Zeit für alles hab ich nicht. Deswegen halt gibts sowas worauf man besonders achtet bei Bewerbungen oder auch einfach gibts Sachen die besser ankommen als andere? Was würde dir bei meinem Leben z.B. noch fehlen um zu sagen dass das nochmal mehr heraussticht?

Hello Samuel my name is yonas and I am from Ethiopia. my highschool isn’t that well known but I have a perfect gpa and 1550 SAT score. I am also the valedictorian of my high school. I also have some amazing extracurricular activities. I want to apply to mit on November. Most students who get into such prestigious colleges are from some well known and respected schools. My high school isn’t that known even has no search result, website and page if admissions officers search it in order to get context of how rigorous the curriculum I have taken is. All this is because It is a relatively new highschool and schools in Ethiopia have relatively lower international connection as schools abroad. our counselor told me that only 3 students applied to US colleges from out highschool last year. I’m concerned because while looking at what MIT considers for admission I saw the rigor of secondary school is an important factor. But even if the school isn’t that well known, we still take the same classes as the other top high schools in the nation since academic curriculums are the same every where in Ethiopia and they are offered by the ministry of education. So will this affect my application negatively? Please I would like to get an answer cause I’m am getting concerned a lot. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for your wishes, I won gold in the Ibero-American Physics Olympiad. Bronzes and silvers from it will go to IPHO. I hope to have the opportunity to fulfill my dream of entering MIT yet.

I think you could also include IOAA, tho I think that's kind of a given since you included IPhO, IMO ,IOI and IChO

Anyone who feel sdisadvantaged because of their country? My sister got admitted to a U.S. university, got her I-20 and all good stuff but the U.S. embassy rejected her F-1 Visa because she had a relative in the U.S. I found that very unjust. Your relatives or family members success should never be hold against you. She said everything was going well until he asked if she has any relative in the U.S. Since she did not lie, she got rejected. Now she has no U.S. experience to put on the table but tons of potential and ambition.

I'd like to know if have greater chances of getting into MIT if i'm really good in martial arts, since they usually just talk about things like football, basketball, athletics and things like so, I'm currently the national karate champion, so i would be very happy if i could get into MIT

Hi, nice video, I'm from Colombia, I'm currently in 10th grade. Pretty sure of to study aerospace engineering, and this will sound really crazy, I want to study it in the U.S. doesn't matter if it's not in this college (but MIT still being my dream college), so I'm thinking in Ohio Cincinnati and west Virginia university, but if you guys know about other universities that offers aerospace engineering, it will be so helpful.
