Howdy folks,
Some quick messages from CPW HQ!
If you haven't yet registered for CPW: the deadline is TODAY! Please log into your MyMIT account and fill out the CPW registration form asap. If you don't have a MyMIT account, you can call the CPW hotline (617.258.6085) to register via telephone.
If you have already registered for CPW: please log into your MyMIT account and confirm that your registration was recorded by the system. Simply click on the "Registration" link in the CPW portlet - if you see your registration information, you're all set. If the form is blank, however, then your registration was not received by MIT. This has happened to a few students who didn't register using one of the recommended browsers (Safari or Explorer). If your form is blank, you'll need to register again.
Thanks, and see you all in less than 2 weeks! :-)

If my dad hasn't bought plane tickets yet, when is the latest that I can e-mail the office to let them know that he's coming?

@Amy '12: You have basically complete freedom during CPW. If you really want to, sleeping in a dorm or other living group besides your host's should be just fine. Although you should let your host know, of course.

Man, I'm going to be missing a lot of school this April.

We hosts find out who we're hosting this Sunday, April 6, at our 8pm training meeting. Then we contact you! Expect an email next week from the lucky student who you'll be staying with. They'll introduce themselves and tell you all you need to know about what to bring, where to go when you arrive, and how totally psyched they are to have been matched with a prefrosh!!

Also, I am FREAKING PUMPED for CPW. I just thought I'd clarify in case the umpteen posters above me hadn't made that sentiment clear enough.

The schedule of open classes will be available when you arrive at CPW - it'll be in the rather awesome folder you get (including the much-coveted, hugely gigantic booklet listing all the official events).

If we get x amount of support from the MIT FA dept, is that in loans, or is that a scholarship? Does that mean that I have to pay back the x amount of dollars on interest? And what does the "Self Help Award" mean?
Thanks!

@ Amy - yep, like Paul said, you basically have complete freedom, but it's always good to keep your host updated on your plans.
@ Anonymous - as Teresa noted, your host will hopefully get in touch with you early next week after attending the hosting meeting on Sunday.
@ Anon - if you can't send in the medical release form prior to arriving on campus, you should bring it with you when you come. Unfortunately we can't register you without that form if you're not yet 18 years of age.
@ Katie - shower, yes. Sleep - only if you want to, and you probably won't want to.
@ Victor - not totally sure of the specifics of your situation - I'd email admissions@mit.edu with the details and we'll help you figure it out.
@ Anonymous - just the CPW registration form; everything else seems to work fine on Firefox. I keep bugging the tech folks about Firefox & CPW - no idea why it doesn't work!
@ Anonymous - see Paul's post just below yours.
@ Sareena - it could be any of the above; without seeing your award letter I'm not sure. I'm no expert on financial aid though; you'll want to ask the master over at daniel.mitblogs.com
