Hey everyone, I am really interested in applying to MIT, but I haven't been able to find much information about the demographics and race percentages at the school. Is there anyone here who could give me an idea of how diverse MIT is?
MIT has a diverse student body, with students coming from different ethnic backgrounds, countries, and experiences. Based on data from the 2022-2023 academic year, the undergraduate population's racial and ethnic demographics at MIT are as follows:
- 34.1% Asian
- 22.1% White
- 14.8% Hispanic or Latino
- 11.0% International

Keep in mind that these numbers can change slightly from year to year, but these should give you an idea of MIT's commitment to creating a diverse learning environment.
Additionally, MIT offers various resources, support systems, and organizations to promote inclusivity and cultural understanding, which helps create a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds.
