>>14014691>but still easier to get in that MITNot sure about that. I remember reading about a girl who failed to get into either UNICAMP or USP in some engineering course, but managed to get into MIT because she had won a medal in some math or physics Olympiad and had excellent high school grades.
Regardless, MIT is still insanely ahead in terms of research than any Brazilian university. I think the same can be said about any top 30 american university, it certainly is the case in my field of research, which is AI. Difficulty in getting admitted isn't totally correlated with the university's quality.
