    MIT application portal

    Thank you for your interest in MIT! The first-year and transfer applications are now available.

    Before you start an application, please review the eligibility requirements for both the first-year application and the transfer application.

    The 2023–2024 first-year application cycle is for those planning to enter college in the fall of 2024 who have not matriculated to another degree-granting institution. The transfer application is intended for students who will have completed at least one year of college/university before entering MIT.

    If you’re confused about which application is best for you after reviewing the two eligibility pages, reach out to us—we’re happy to help!

    Gmail users: MIT Admissions emails frequently go to the Promotions and Spam folders. Make sure you save our email (admissions@mit.edu) to your preferred contacts so you do not miss emails from us. 


    S.T.O.P.! (Stop, Take a breath, Observe, Proceed) Read the eligibility requirements above and choose your application type carefully. You will not be able to delete or change the application by yourself if you make a mistake. 

    Did you accidentally start a Transfer application and need to switch to a First-Year? Please fill out this request form. IMPORTANT NOTE - this change is irreversible so read the eligibility requirements carefully to choose the correct application type.
