I was told that there have been three R1 admits from mainland China at MIT Sloan, two of whom are last year's deferrals because they couldn't get their visa last year.
My source is an MIT insider. Actually I was told at least three has been admitted in R1. I guess Admits have informed the school about their attendance.
come on, potato. I guess R1 applicants do not have to compete with deferrals. Those deferrals would be considered separatedly from the normal admission process.
