Hello Elizabeth, hope you are able to tell me if an International High School Graduate still need to submit any Mid Year Report after submitted the Secondary Report with Final result included?
Thanks.

"In my spare time I climb walls of ice, repair planes..." Cracked me up. On a more serious note, though, I'd say the best piece of advice was the one about removing the mental hurdle, very practical piece of advice!

Elizabeth, That was really really great!

d'awwww no YOU GUYS are awesome!

@E Zheng: I don't think you do, if the secondary report covers your entire senior year. You might want to check with admissions@mit.edu, though.

Some general advice: if you're an international student, please please please start here and read this page before e-mailing the admissions office: http://mitadmissions.org/apply/international/howto

As for test scores, these are not a rule, as Chris, Matt and David have repeatedly stated, but will give you an idea of what this year's incoming class looked like: http://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats

I'm probably going to be singing that song to myself in school tomorrow... and people will most likely look at me oddly but that's alright.

And that reminds me to update my own youtube ><

Elizabeth, thanks for your reminder. I realize I must be interviewed if an Interviewer is available at my area (Malaysia). The problem is I have not submitted my application yet. Does the registration of MIT only will enable an email from the EC pertaining the interview?

Hey Elizabeth, how important are high school scores in the admission process at MIT?
I vary in the top 5 - 30% in my class, I'm not really happy about that :c

You're gorgeous, by the way :p

Hey, what are the chances of admission if you hit a 2000+ in the SAT... Or schorlaship????

hey elizabeth ! that was awesome =D

Elizabeth, regarding the biographical part of the application, I am unable to mark both the International and Latino boxes. At first I figured that if I say I live in Colombia they know I am also Latino, but that is not quite true. I could be a Russian living in Colombia, and that wouldn't make me Latino. Is this normal? How can I indicate both things?
