Is it hard to get into MIT graduate school?

I am considering going to graduate school for computer science, and I have been looking at the various schools. I am interested in finding out how hard it is to get into the graduate school at MIT. I have heard that it is one of the best schools for computer science, and I would like to know if it is worth the effort to apply.

This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on a lot of factors, such as your GPA, what you're studying, what research experience you have, and so on. The best way to find out is to consult the website of the graduate school you're interested in and look at the requirements for admission.

For example, here are the requirements for admission to the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science:

As you can see, they vary depending on whether you're applying for the Master's program or the PhD program. In general, though, getting into a graduate program at MIT is extremely competitive.

There is no one answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including your specific field of interest, your academic record, and your test scores. In general, however, the competition for spots in MIT's graduate programs is extremely stiff, and you will need to have stellar grades and test scores to be competitive. In addition, your letters of recommendation and personal statement will also be important factors in the admissions process.
