I'm calling bullshit on this story because MIT is not a public school - there is no in-state vs. out-of-state tuition, and as someone who did a ton of cost comparisons on the private vs. public schools where I was accepted, I have difficulty believing someone who was accepted to MIT would confuse this fact.
- atmavatar 1y agoThis was 25-ish years ago, so apologies if I got that detail wrong. In vs. out-of-state tuition was a big deal for nearly every school I was looking at, but I no longer remember them on a case by case basis. What I do remember was that MIT was so incredibly expensive that I didn't have to give it much thought -- it was never a viable option due to cost and lack of financial aid possibilities.
