Good article with great insights! As an MBA admissions consultant who works
extensively with applicants in Taiwan and around the world to top schools,
I'd like to add some additional observations to the author's well-taken
points.
First, a minor correction - MIT actually accepted two Taiwanese applicants
this year, not one. I know that because I had the pleasure of working with
both applicants. One of them decided to attend MIT; the other, who was also
accepted at Stanford/Harvard/Wharton, chose to go to Stanford. Still, even
having two accepted applicants is a very low number, and the factors that Rod
cited are important reasons for why this number wasn't higher.
On the other hand, another important reason for this low number is that many
well-qualified Taiwan applicants did not apply to MIT. Of the eight Taiwan
applicants I worked with who were accepted to the traditional "Big Three"
(Harvard/Stanford/Wharton), only one of them completed the MIT application -
and she was accepted. Another applicant began her MIT application but ceased
it after she was accepted at Wharton. Of course this is not to say that all
the other H/S/W applicants would have gotten into MIT if they had applied -
it is very faulty logic to assume that "because applicant X got into school
Y, she will definitely get into school Z". However, it is very possible that
at least some of these highly qualified applicants would have gotten into MIT
and therefore increased the total acceptance number. Keep in mind that two
years ago, MIT accepted as many as nine Taiwan applicants, so it's hard to
imagine that the interview skills and international perspectives of Taiwan
applicants could disappear somehow in just two years :)
Lastly, the fact that these H/S/W acceptees did not apply to MIT does NOT
mean that the very top applicants in general do not consider MIT among the
most elite schools; I can say with confidence that they absolutely do. What
happened in Taiwan this year was an aberration. In the same year, many of the
super applicants I worked with in other countries (including the U.S. and
China) did apply to MIT, in addition to H/S/W, and some chose MIT over those
other schools. While "real" school rankings pretty much never change from
year to year (despite the efforts of some magazines and newspapers to make
these rankings, umm, creative and logic-defying for the sake of drumming up
attention), MIT is an exception. The school, its alums and its admissions
office have done a great job in promoting and branding the school such that
realistically, "Big Three" is now "Big Four", and MIT is routinely one of the
top four schools to which the highest-qualified applicants seek admissions.
Hope this helps! Good luck to all the applicants!

Kevin, I am curious if more of the Harvard/Stanford/Wharton people are
applying to MIT in the 2013-2014 application year?

Michael Fei Well it's still too early to tell in this new year, but so far in
R1, among my clients, five clients have received interview invites from
Harvard, seven have received invites from Wharton, two have received invites
from Stanford and two have received invites from MIT. But Stanford, MIT and
Wharton will still issue more invites for R1 (HBS has issued all its R1
invites), so the total numbers even for R1 aren't done yet - and keep in mind
interview invites aren't the same as acceptances :) But so far, of the H/S/W
invitees, three have applied to MIT.

FYI several additional interview invites just came in - now it's up to four
Stanford invites and eight Wharton invites!

Just to clarify, the above numbers are my client interview invites from
around the world, not just in Taiwan. For Taiwan specifically, it's three HBS
invites, four Wharton invites and one Stanford invite so far :)
