Update 01/01/2012 7:00pm
It is now 7:00pm Eastern Standard Time on January 1, making the MIT Regular Action deadline 5 hours away. For those of you who have procrastinated and have not yet submitted your application, here are a few tips, notes, and words of wisdom:
- Submit your Part 1 now, if you haven't already. There are no essays in there or anything that is likely to need changes or edits. No need to wait until the last minute. If you have technical problems with the Part 1, let us know ASAP at applicationpart1@mit.edu.
- Be sure to validate your Part 2 (on page 10) well in advance of the deadline. Most people's problems at the deadline are related to not validating early enough. Also, don't forget to view the preview PDF.
- There may be some small grace period for people submitting the application after midnight. If this happens to you, don't worry.
- Do not worry about your recommendations, transcripts, and test scores if they are not yet showing up in MyMIT tracking yet. They do not need to be in by midnight. We are processing thousands of documents right now, so there's a good chance we have received it but not processed it yet. You will be fine.
- Finally: we're nice, understanding people here at MIT Admissions. If you're panicking right now, odds are that you don't need to be and that we will be understanding of your circumstances.
The Office of Admissions is currently closed for the holidays, and is not accepting emails or answering phone calls (and I am on vacation!). The office will reopen on Tuesday, January 3rd.
However, with the RA deadline fast approaching, I'd like to use this entry to answer some of the common deadline-time questions. There are many answers already here on the site -- for example, about standardized test requirements or statistics. And below, I've provided answers to some additional FAQs:
Deadlines
- The deadline is January 1, meaning you can click "submit" on your application any time on January 1 or before. However, I strongly discourage waiting until the last minute. I know that, for example, many students have had validation errors with their essays, taking more than a couple of minutes to fix. If you're submitting at 11:57pm, you're playing with fire.
- It is perfectly fine if, through no fault of your own, your school forms (e.g. teacher recommendations, secondary school report, transcript) come in after the January 1 deadline. We are much more understanding of and flexible with late documents from schools than with late documents from the applicant.
- January is the last testing date that can be seen by the Admissions Committee (February will not be seen). If you will be taking the January test, you obviously don't have the scores yet to write down in your application. This is okay. Just be sure that when you take the test, you designate MIT to receive the scores; other than this, you do not need to do anything special. Please do not rush report your scores. We require either SAT Reasoning Test OR ACT Plus Writing (or TOEFL) AND 2 SAT Subject Tests (one in math, one in science). We we only use the scores that make you look best, and we do abide by Score Choice.
- The deadline to request an interview was December 10th, and has now passed. While highly recommended, the interview is not a required part of the application (and students whose interviews have been waived are at no disadvantage). You are welcome to request an interview from your Educational Counselor (EC) after the deadline, but do not expect that your request will be granted. If you have already interviewed with your EC, or have scheduled your interview for the near future, you are all set. Do not worry if your interview report has not yet appeared on your MyMIT Tracking; the deadline for ECs to submit their reports has not yet arrived. If you wish, you may now fill out the conducted interview form and we will be sure to get the interview report.
Submitting & Tracking Documents
- The MyMIT Tracking is up-to-date (while the Admissions Office is closed, the Records Office is working hard), but please recognize that processing can take 2 weeks. You do not need to worry at this time about documents that are not showing on MyMIT; we currently have a backlog of materials in our processing center, and expect to have that backlog into January. Do not send a second copy of any document at this time. Also, you do not need to call MIT Admissions at this time to check on any such documents (there is a time for this later). Do not worry about materials that have not yet shown up on MyMIT Tracking.
- Please note that you do not need to express mail or overnight any part of your application.
- Any application materials being mailed, including recommendation letters, should be sent to: MIT Office of Admissions; 77 Massachusetts Avenue; Room 10-100; Cambridge, MA 02139; USA. Be sure to include the appropriate cover sheet. It need not have any special code on the envelope.
- Any application materials being faxed, including recommendation letters, should be sent to 617-687-9184. Be sure to include the appropriate cover sheet.
- Please include the appropriate cover sheet from MyMIT for any document you send, as it helps with filing (but documents without the cover sheet will be fine, too, as long as there is enough information for us to match the document with your file).
- Please include the MIT Supplemental Document Cover Sheet from MyMIT for any additional documents you send. It helps with filing. (Documents without the cover sheet will be fine, too, as long as there is enough information for us to match the document with your file.)
- For teacher recommendations and secondary school reports, we prefer our form, but will accept your school's forms, the NACAC forms, or the Common App forms.
- If you are having credit card problems, please email applicationpart1 at mit dot edu. If problems delay your application past January 1, we will extend the deadline for you due to any problems on our end.
- We are happy to accept fee waivers for any student (foreign or domestic) who needs one. Using a fee waiver will not negatively impact your admission. You may use the SAT Fee Waiver, the NACAC Fee Waiver, or a letter from a school official detailing your situation. We will accept other fee waiver forms as well. Generally speaking, if you are in tough financial shape and make a good faith effort to inform us of your circumstances, we will waive your fee.
- If you need to update your application after you submit it, the best -- and recommended -- mechanism is the Midyear Report, an online form which will be available next month. On this form, you will also provide updated/semester/midyear grades and any changes in your coursework. You will also be able to provide information about any new awards or anything else you want us to know about.
- On the last section of both Parts One and Two, there is a link that will allow you to preview your application as a PDF. This PDF is exactly how the admissions committee will see your application. You should always preview your application before submitting it. Two common problems that are often not caught without previewing are listed above: pasting special characters from Microsoft Word and a too-lengthy Additional Information section.
- Application tracking is available on MyMIT after you submit your Part 1. For this reason, I recommend submitting your Part 1 sooner rather than later, so that you can track your documents.
- Regular action results will be released in mid-March.
Essays & Other Application Components
- The word count on the essays is pretty strictly enforced. Perhaps a little overly strictly -- you may find that you can only fit, say, 247 words for a 250-word prompt. My advice would be to not sweat the small stuff. Everything will work out. These short-answer essays are only one small part of the application, and the word limit will in no way influence an applicant's admissibility.
- If you copy and paste from a program like Microsoft Word into the application, you may lose some formatting. Be particularly careful of characters like apostrophes, em dashes, and quotation marks. If you type directly into the text box on MyMIT, everything should be fine.
- In Part Two, Section Nine ("Additional Information"), we are aware that the font shrinks and is not traditionally formatted; this affects everyone equally. Also, if you put too much text into the box, the bottom will be cut off and the admissions committee will not be able to see it.
- Listing awards that you have received is sufficient. You do not need to mail us certificates. Do not lie or be deceitful, though.
- There are often many questions about the self-reported grades form. We ask that applicants in US school systems do their best to accurately and completely fill this out. Be sure to include your current year courses. Be sure that your self-reported grades match what is on your transcript. If you have taken college, online, or summer courses, you should include these classes and grades as well. If you do not attend an American-style school, you do not need to fill out the self-reported grades form.
I hope this is helpful. Best wishes as you finish and submit the application! And happy holidays!

If so, should I just put any additional courses in spaces in the subjects sections, even if they don't fall within that subject?
Thank you!

2) Should I simply send (through fax) the letter and the paper printed from MIT (the one that says Evaluation A, Evaluation B) or should I add another cover. And if yes, that cover would only be single sheet sent before the rest of the files?
3) Is there any problem if I waive the "Secondary school report" as my High School doesn't have a guidance counselor?

Hope you enjoy your holidays.
I want to ask a question if you don't mind. SAT test is not held in my country ( Iran) Accordingly, I have to go to Turkey to take the test. The nearest time to register was Jan 28. I will take it, but do you think that it will be too late?
I had to pay a lot in order to reserve the ticket and hotel and ,,, . I am afraid of that maybe all of these efforts will be unpractical.
Thank you very much,

May I ask what -exactly- could be included in the midyear report? Is there room for extra things like peer recommendations and the like?
Thank you!
Posted by: Chris Ong on December 22, 2011
@Cristy: 1) Yes. 2) No need to add the extra cover, though you can if you like. 3) You should see if some other school official, like a headmaster or registrar, can fill it out instead of a counselor.
@KP, @Anonymous, @Chris: I have now posted an entry specifically for deferred students that includes the MYR.
@Gelare: We will consider January SATs.
@Moe: We have your November Physics Subject Test. I don't know why only the June test shows on MyMIT. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. We will consider your November score, don't worry.

Regarding interviews:
1. Initially Mr. Ayan Sen was assigned as my EC, but he had too many candidates to interview.
2. Therefore, Mr. David Toshio Williams was assigned as my EC. But soon after a few email exchanges he said he had too many candidates and that a different EC should be there on my MyMIT page.
3. Sure enough a different EC was shown, but it was Mr. Ayan Sen again, who initially already had too many candidates
4. On emailing interview@mit.edu, they said it was a mistake and yet another EC, Ms. Ellen Wong was assigned and that I can contact her even if it is past the Dec 10th deadline as the delay is not my fault.
5. On emailing Ms. Wong, she replied that she was going on vacation and that she'll be unable to conduct the interview.
6. I emailed interview@mit.edu again asking for instructions for further course of action, where I got the automated response saying that the Admissions Office is closed and that I should email after Jan 3rd.
7. But the application deadline is Jan 1.
Now, it is not technically a waiver. And after changing 3 EC's, I have no one to contact regarding this. I wrote this here, hoping you can help me out.

I still have a question though.
Is it necessary for international applicants to submit the Secondary School Report? My school doesn't actually have a guidance counselor, and I doubt we will be getting over the next week.
However, my terminal examinations are in January. So I will be able to send in the Mid-Year Report as soon as the results are available.
Posted by: Haroon on December 23, 2011
My Dec Sat subject tests scores are just in which I have sent today as soon as I could ! since the January 1 2012 is the deadline am apprehensive if the scores would be received well in time since it is vacation time! how would I get to know if my application would be considered or not.I had completed all other formalities and submitted application in the first week Nov 2012..only the subject tests scores remained..pls guide asap! I think I have fair enough scores..Math level 2 is 750/800 and Physics is 680/800

I'm not sure about when my school forms and also supplemental documents will reach you. I'm sending them via post and they may reach you after jan1. Is there going to be any problem? (If yes, I'll try to fax them)
Posted by: Ehsan on December 23, 2011
I asked the same question above.
The anwer was: " You should see if some other school official, like a headmaster or registrar, can fill it out instead of a counselor."
But unfortunately it is too late for me to find someone else to complete the secondary school report (anway I had no one able to complete them, as some fields are not applicable).
Posted by: Cristy on December 23, 2011
@Krishnabh Medhii No need to panic.Just send one more email to interviews@mit.edu explaining the whole situation to them.They will find the best way for you.Do make sure to indicate that you are getting those same EC's again and again.Most probably your interview will be waived off.
@Tushar Don't worry.The main responsibility of yours is to submit your application parts(1 and 2) , teacher evaluations, School Reports(If you don't have a guidance counselor get it done by your Principal or Vice-Principal) and supplements(if you have any) till January 1.The score reports are sent to colleges by the testing agency.They will get it done on time.You application will definitely be considered if you have done these.Don't worry about score reporting.Keep following you MyMIT tracking.If it doesn't show that scores have been reported by mid-January then you can definitely contact your testing agency and MIT admissions office.Good Luck!
@Cristy If some fields are not applicable then you can ask your concerned official to leave them blank.That would be sufficient.

Got 2 questions:
1) I took the TOEFL and have my scores (I'm an international applicant). I would be taking the SAT in Jan. Should I apply with the TOEFL scores or the SAT scores? Does it affect my chances in *any* way?
2) I've made quite a few robots and have a couple of inventions too, but I never made a video, blog or website or anything of the sort. How do I put put these into my application?
Thanks!
Posted by: Aa on December 23, 2011
It's too late to ask my Principal to do so, even though the Principal doesn't really know students so couldn't have answered that questions about me.
I have already sent those recommendations, will me application still be considered if I've signed my name and chose to waive my second school report?

I have a problem regarding interviews which is similar to that of Mr. Krishnabh.
My previous EC was changed a few days ago (I had contacted him before the deadline) as he was interviewing too many applicants. My new EC is now leaving the country in the next few days and won't be taking interviews.
I've emailed interview@mit.edu with the problem but the office is closed.
In the application (Part 2), there is a section on interviews in which we are required to name our EC and provide other related details. What should I do as I would like to submit my application?
Posted by: Irtiza on December 23, 2011
We will not be accepting any email during this holiday closure. MIT
Admissions has not received your email. Please do not resend your
message at this time. In an effort to provide the most timely and
accurate service, we ask that you wait until after January 3, 2012 to
send your message.
Should I still email them?

Posted by: Ananyo on December 23, 2011
What should I do about this?
Posted by: Ramon on December 23, 2011
@b_jones: Keep trying with your EC. On your application, write something like, "Contacted EC on December __ but no response, still trying for interview." Once we are back after January 3, email interview@mit.edu with your issue. You may still be able to get an interview, especially since you have done your part and contacted your EC by the deadline. You will be at no disadvantage.
@Abderhman: There is no problem with that.
@Krishnabh: Your situation is similar to that of b_jones above, and my advice is the same. Sorry that there's not more I can do.
@Haroon: We ask for the Secondary School Report from all applicants. We recognize that many questions on the form are less relevant or not applicable for international students, but we ask that you do your best to provide us with the information. Also, yes, you will be able to submit the results of your terminal examinations on the MYR. Finally, no, the letters cannot be emailed to us.
@tushar: We will receive your scores in time, do not worry. Even scores that come in after the deadline are okay.
@Ehsan: That's no problem.
@Cristy: It's not too late; feel free to ask someone to fill it out once you return to school after the holiday. However, your application will be considered complete as long as we have a transcript, even without a Secondary School Report. Don't worry, everything will be okay.
@Bhaskar: Thanks for the mostly accurate advice. Might you in the future include a disclaimer, maybe something like, "I'm not an admissions officer, just a helpful/informed observer, but here's my advice..."
@Aaron: No. Just enough to meet the requirements.
@Antonio: I don't know why that's happening. Here's what I would do. Start stripping out information from the top, starting with street address, down to city/country if needed. Try submitting again at each step. Then, once the office is open again, email us at admissions@mit.edu and tell us what happened and what the address should be; we'll go back and manually add it on our end. Sound good?
@Aa: 1) It's your choice, but I recommend that anyone taking the TOEFL should submit it. You can submit both the TOEFL and SAT, just the TOEFL, or just the SAT. You will have to decide whether or not to send us the SAT before you get the scores, though, because if we are not listed as a recipient we will not receive the scores in time. 2) I would post some pictures and descriptions to a simple website like Blogspot or Flickr. Sites like these are set up to be very user-friendly, especially for people who have never made a website before. Photos and descriptions of projects can be very helpful to the committee.
@Eric: We'll begin reviewing applications the first week of January.
@Irtiza: Your situation is similar to that of b_jones at the top of this comment, and my advice is the same. Sorry that there's not more I can do.
@Ananyo: We'll want to see your predicted grades whenever they're available.
@Ramon: We should be able to receive DHL mail next week on December 27, 28, and 29; if Room 3-108 is closed, Room 3-001 should be able to receive mail. If this doesn't work, reattempt delivery on January 3. You'll be fine, no worries.

One of my teachers who is writing a recommendation for me says that he is very busy and may not be able to complete and send my recommendation by January 1st. I have heard that MIT is quite lenient with teacher recs, is this OK? If my teacher does not manage to send in my letter on time, will I be at a disadvantage? Would you begin reviewing my incomplete application or wait until you receive my recommendation?
Thanks

I was just wondering if you're an international applicant and you're from Canada, which has a similar schooling system as the U.S., can you still leave the self-reported coursework blank?

Please HELP

1) It doesn't seem to be optimal for the office to be closed the week before the deadline
2) Jan 1 should be described as the postmark date to reduce confusion. The IRS does this.
3) Perhaps it would be good to have threaded discussions separate from blog posts for QnA. I suspect much of the QnA is repetitive, but the new website does a bad job (and worse than before) of surfacing that information. I'm sure you love answering the same question over and over

My name on my Collegeboard and ACT Accounts differs from my actual name and that used on my MIT application because there aren't enough available letters in their systems. Should I contact anyone in MIT specifically to tell them of this problem? I already tried contacting the two organisations but they said it was not possible to edit my name.

Posted by: carfeak gauve on December 24, 2011
@Carfeak gauve The very first thing I would say is that you are "NOT"supposed to write the letter of recommendation or evaluation on your own even on behalf of your teachers.That is not at all acceptable.The teachers are supposed to do it and that has to be kept confidential.Ask your teachers to do it for you.You can only send those sealed envelopes which your teachers and principal gives you indicating their return addresses after completing those forms.Regarding your email id issue.This could be some server error.Just inform the admissions office about this error after January3rd.Send them an email explaining the matter and the correct email address.They will update it in records.Good Luck!!!

The school profile and attested transcript of my past grades will be from my current school.
Also, is it alright for my teacher to just fill out the evaluation report or is it necessary for them to write a recommendation letter to go along with it?
And, is it okay if the evaluation letters and secondary school report be sent in one package? It would definitely be cost effective.

I am USAP student from Mongolia. As a participant of USAP program, the program directors send request to waive my application fee. But they send the request by mail ans sent that on 19th of December. And it takes approximately 14 days to get the letter there this means that I might not be able to waive my application before the post reaches.
Do you have any suggestion that I should do?
Thanks beforehand.

*JUST AS AN INFORMED OBSERVER*
@Kamran You can send your updated info about such a small part in an email indicating the recent change.Those things are kept in consideration while evaluating your application as it help in understanding your background,the way you have evolved yourself in that family.This is the most basic reason those things are asked.Also those matters related to your parents employer are used in your financial aid process,visa issue,etc following the United States Laws.So just no need to worry about.Send them an email after 2nd January.
@Haroon Yes you can ask your principal from previous school to complete those forms as long as that school has been higher secondary school for you.In your case I guess yes you can ask them to do it for you.Also ask them to seal those forms in an envelope with their return addresses and then you can send them in one single packet.DO NOT forget to write your First Name,Last Name and Date of Birth on the top of each application material you are sending.Good Luck!
@Cristy I guess you should not worry about if the Officers will read your application or not.I can't guarantee that but I can guarantee that if you will not send it they won't.Better you stop diverting your mind on this and keep working with your teachers to get it done for you.A couple of delays don't matter much.Be positive about it.Good Luck.Enjoy your application days.!

For WBC question- Its good that u r as keen as me to find a solution, but just imagine, if things were that easy then at this time we too must be having regenerating organs as in Hydra, star-fish,etc, but unfortunately-no. We may do research and find an answer. Its good that you are correlating things but just having some perceptions do not help.
I haven't submitted my part 2 yet as I am dedicating my time to many other things too..
I am Indian too, and MIT too is helping me out.
SAT tests are offering me difficulties too, I have to travel more than 500 kms and I am going to reappear for January Maths test as my scores were low. Still I am trying my best to perform well. If you need help, I will be glad to do as I too have interests in these trivial things and am a "car freak".

This is my question from before.
One of my teachers who is writing a recommendation for me says that he is very busy and may not be able to complete and send my recommendation by January 1st. I have heard that MIT is quite lenient with teacher recs, is this OK? If my teacher does not manage to send in my letter on time, will I be at a disadvantage? Would you begin reviewing my incomplete application or wait until you receive my recommendation?
Thank you and have a Merry Christmas!!!
Posted by: Eric on December 25, 2011
Just to reiterate what's already been said a lot of times, school forms and teacher recs can arrive a little late. Stuff applicants are sending shouldn't.
Regarding the TOEFL and SAT comments, I asked the same thing somewhere, and was told that MIT will consider whichever score presents you in the best light.
//Not an admissions officer.
Posted by: J on December 25, 2011
But my main question was whether the admissions officers would start reading my application without one of my recommendations. Would they?? Or would they wait until it arrives?

Since the Jan scores won't reach MIT until the first week of Feb., and my standardized testing requirements show as complete on the dashboard, can I somehow tell the admissions committee to wait for my Jan scores?
Posted by: J on December 25, 2011
@J You can take the January SAT and get those scores reported to MIT.They will consider your best scores out of those.
@Eric As I earlier said you should focus on sending your teacher evaluations as soon as possible rather than thinking about the application review procedure.
Posted by: Bhaskar on December 26, 2011
I have the same issue as Antonio Garcia (posted Dec 23rd). It's about the application. Even though I type my permanent address it keeps giving me error (Permanent Address required) and I cannot save and continue! it's not letting me submit the app!

I am Devashish from India. I am presently in grade 12. My schools is affiliated to the Indian School Certificate (ISC) baord. I will be appearing for my Board Examinations in March 2012.I have already appeared for the SAT examination(November 5) and will appear again after my boards in order to improve my previous score.
When should I apply for MIT so that I get admission in the Fall-Semester 2012?I am hoping for aeronautical/computer engineering.
Also, My subjects are as follows:
1.English
2.Environmental Education
3.Mathematics
4.Physics
5.Chemistry
6.Computer Science
Sir, I do not have any guidance counselor in my hometown, so I also wanted to enquire about the procedure of applying.(And any extra valuable information)
I thank-you in anticipation.

A question to anyone who has the answer:
I am an international applicant. As my teachers are not fluent in English they have written their recommendations in our native language. How should i go about the translations of those recommendations? One option I could think about was, that I take the evaluation letters to a certified translator and later give the translated versions back to the teachers to sign and send to the admission office. Or maybe it is okay if I have the official translated versions which have the signed originals attached to them?
And an additional question:
Is it okay to scan + e-mail the signed evaluations and/or supplements instead of faxing as the faxing system is a bit deprecated in our country.
Thank You,
Deiwin

I was completing my self-reported course work and I don't have my final grades from senior year Do yo want me to leave it blank?
Posted by: Zain Abbas on December 26, 2011
@yafael: I wouldn't recommend taking SAT again for MIT.
@J: We won't wait for them, but you can note in the application that you will be taking them. As I said to Erdenechimeg above, we will initially review your application before the January scores arrive, but will have them in time for selection committee decisions. As for your science recommendation, no worries -- many international letters have at least some language errors. This is no problem and is quite common.
@Andrew: As I said to Antonio, I don't know why that's happening. Here's what I would do. Start stripping out information from the top, starting with street address, down to city/country if needed. Try submitting again at each step. Then, once the office is open again, email us at admissions@mit.edu and tell us what happened and what the address should be; we'll go back and manually add it on our end. Sound good?
@Anonymous: It sounds reasonable to me to have a teacher in charge of guidance filling out the SSR, especially as you are an international student.
@Kipper: You can say no. As for your age, it has no bearing on your admissions decision.
@Devashish: If you wish to enter MIT for the Fall Semester of 2012 you will need to apply by January 1 -- 6 days from now. You will also need to sit for SAT Subject Tests in January if you have not already done so.
@Deiwin: This plan is excellent: send the official translated versions which have the signed originals attached to them. We do not accept emailed evaluations.
@Zain: Exactly. Fill in the grades you have. If you get midyear grades, you can include them later in the Midyear Report.
Posted by: Matt McGann '00 on December 26, 2011
@Cristy: It's on the late side, but late is certainly better than never. Your application will be considered complete, though, as long as we have your transcript (even without the SSR). We will consider documents mailed sent in after January 1.
@Binghao: Yes, you can leave it blank. And if a letter is lost in the mail, we will let you know and give you a chance to resubmit it.
@Kennard: If you will send/have sent us your previous SAT, I would recommend filling it in. If you will only be sending us your January results, you can just write 01/12 and leave the scores blank.
@Mission MIT: Sounds like you'd be considered a homeschooled student. We will still require your recommendation letters, and transcript/exam results from 10th.
@Arun: Yes, you should email admissions@mit.edu after January 3 and let us know what name you used for each exam, and what name you use for MyMIT.
@IronMan: Sorry, you application will be reviewed like everyone else's application, almost certainly in 2012.
@carfeak: You can fax documents to us at any time of day. I don't know what you mean about the principal's signature. We would like recommendations on official school letterhead; in your case, I might send what you have now and consider sending along letters on letterhead after January 9th. Also, we have your correct email address, you just can't see the underscore (but try copy/paste, you'll see it's there).
@nitesh: You can send it by fax or postal mail as described on the cover sheet.
@Stefanus: We probably have received it but not yet processed it. The name that signed for it is very similar to someone in our office who would sign for packages. Once we receive the package, we still have a lot of work to do until it shows up as processed. Be patient and I'm sure you'll see it on your MyMIT tracking within a week or two.
@Imad: You cannot read the EC report. I see that you have filled out the Conducted Report form, so there is nothing more that you need to do. As for supplemental documents, you can follow the instructions on the Supplemental Document Cover Sheet -- click on "Application Forms" from your MyMIT homepage.
@George: Your application would be considered complete. Many recommendations are submitted without the MIT Form, do not worry. If your teachers can fill out the forms after you return to school, that's great, but otherwise don't worry.
@Rochelle: Yes, that's normal about the indents. How it appears on the PDF preview is how we will see it. There are no indents for anyone, don't worry. Also, most schools submit the SSR and transcript at the same time before January 1, but they can come separately, and we are more flexible with late documents sent from the school.
@Darrell: It sounds like you are a transfer student. For transfer students, we are looking for college teacher recommendations.
@Kamran: January 1 is the postmark date. Also, you may make amendments to your part 1 by emailing admissions@mit.edu after January 3.
@Haroon: We would like a transcript and SSR from your current school. We also require a transcript from your previous school. You may also submit an SSR from your previous school. Ideally, teacher recommendations would include both the MIT form and a narrative letter. All of this can be sent in one package.
@Erdenechimeg: No problem. Just check the fee waiver box on Part 1 when you submit it. All is good. We will initially review your application before the January scores arrive, but will have them in time for selection committee decisions. We haven't yet processed your TOEFL; it should balance out any perceived deficiencies in your SAT score.
@Pranav: As with Stefanus above, we probably have received it but not yet processed it. Once we receive the fax, we still have a lot of work to do until it shows up as processed. Be patient and I'm sure you'll see it on your MyMIT tracking within a week or two. And yes, you will be fine with your fee waiver letter.
Posted by: Matt McGann '00 on December 26, 2011
So, I can update that in my Mid Year Report. Taking this under consideration, can my counselor leave the grades part of the SSR empty?
If so, I would be happy to send the attested transcripts of my 11th and 10th grade final exams even though they aren't that impressive.

2) does taking a gap year have any affect on my application or chances of admissions
3) I have spent three years in an Arabic high school and transferred to an international school at my last year that fallowed US based system should I fill the section of my application about my course description

I have, however, got my transcripts and counselor recommendations on the official school letterhead with the counselor's signature and seal. So will a simple signature on an A4 sheet suffice, as far as my teacher recommendations are concerned?

Say I had one school report from the college where I'm currently taking my Pre-U studies (grade 12 equivalent) and also another one report from my high school, am I suppose to get 2 cover form or I'll be fine just using one I gave to my Pre-U college? (and attach the high school's together with the college's)
I currently don't have any means of contacting my high school (studying outside of hometown) but they did give us all the documents needed upon graduating, is it possible if I get my current college to certify the documents?
Umm... sry for asking but I need to know this asap, my college staff is going on a holiday starting Thursday.

One of the questions in Part 2 of the app reads, "Have you ever been dismissed, suspended, placed on probation, left voluntarily for an extended period of time or incurred serious disciplinary action?" Now, I attend a Catholic school and we have mass once a week. At the beginning of this year, a couple of my friends and I decided to skip, and we were caught. I was required to serve a one day in-school-suspension for skipping, which, in my opinion was a little overboard considering the offense committed. Would serving an in-school-suspension for skipping school mass be considered "incurr[ing] serious disciplinary action"?
Thanks!

For the self-reported transcripts portion of the application, is it okay to just write the letter grade received in the course (such as an A or B etc.) instead of the number grade received?
Posted by: Ali on December 27, 2011
Due to circumstances out of my control, I was recently forced to get a different teacher for my Evaluation B. However, our school offices are currently closed and she is unable to go in and get official letterhead. She'll be able to write and send a recommendation on time printed on regular paper. Is that okay? If not, the earliest she can possibly print and send in a recommendation on official letterhead is January 5th, past the deadline. Is that okay too?
Thanks,

@Andrew: I'm looking into it, hope to have an answer soon.
@Narei: As I wrote in this blog entry, it is perfectly fine if, through no fault of your own, your school forms (e.g. teacher recommendations, secondary school report, transcript) come in after the January 1 deadline. We are much more understanding of and flexible with late documents from schools than with late documents from the applicant.
@Justin: You can put anything you like in that section.
@Cristy: First: Don't jump to the conclusion that a slightly late school document is "canceling any chance of getting to MIT" -- not true at all. Get your documents in as soon as possible and things will be fine.
As for the faxed evaluation letters, as I wrote in this blog entry, the MyMIT Tracking is up-to-date (while the Admissions Office is closed, the Records Office is working hard), but please recognize that processing can take 2 weeks. You do not need to worry at this time about documents that are not showing on MyMIT; we currently have a backlog of materials in our processing center, and expect to have that backlog into January. Do not send a second copy of any document at this time. Do not worry about materials that have not yet shown up on MyMIT Tracking.
@Rochelle: We have your SSR and Transcript, which includes your college classes. You're all set.
Also, our application does not allow italics, bold, indents, etc. Don't worry about it.
For the awards question, see this blog entry which answers your question: http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/application_question_scholasti
@Saud: 1) You can submit SAT, TOEFL, or both, it is your choice. 2) No affect. 3) Yes, for the one year of American schooling.
@Darrell: Yes, you are a transfer student. See http://mitadmissions.org/apply/transfer/application for more information.
@Stefanus: Yes, that's fine.
@Mayisha: We will accept any forms submitted, including the Common App forms. The forms submitted will not impact your admissions decision.
@Ramazan: If you submit a complete application -- Part 1, Part 2, two teacher recommendations, a transcript, and a complete set of test scores -- you will be considered for freshman admission.
@Mridul: We want to know about the circumstances and philosophy of your homeschooling. If someone has supervised your homeschooling, such as a parent or a tutor, they should fill out the SSR. If you have done it completely on your own, you can fill it out yourself. More questions for homeschoolers are answered here: http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/homeschool
@Kamran: If you click the Validation button on page 10, you will see that many of your answers exceed the word limit. Go back and correct the errors, and then validate your application again. Then, you should be able to submit.
@Saw235: We will need an SSR from your Pre-U college, and official transcripts from that include your grades/marks from both your Pre-U and your high school. If your Pre-U college can submit all of this, that's fine.
@Silvia: Your Questbridge app gives us lots of information. Because we have all the information we need, Questbridge math participants with MIT may not also submit the MIT application. However, you will be able to complete the Midyear Report on MyMIT when it is available.
@Michael: I would say that in-school suspension requires a "yes" answer to that question, as you have been suspended (even though it is of the in-school variety). The admissions committee may agree with your opinion that it was a little overboard, but it would be much worse for us to find out about the suspension if you answered "no" to the question.
@Ali: You should report whatever grade is on the transcript. If the transcript says 95, you should say 95. If it says A, you should say A.
@Mickey: As I wrote in this blog entry, it is perfectly fine if, through no fault of your own, your school forms (e.g. teacher recommendations, secondary school report, transcript) come in after the January 1 deadline. We are much more understanding of and flexible with late documents from schools than with late documents from the applicant.

It is not problem of submitting it is the problem of previewing. I know that I broke lots of limits but I had downloaded the pdf before (even with the broken limits) so probably the problem is not because of the limits.

I am an international applicant, and an home schooled too. I've seen your answers regarding the homeschooling , that's why ..i wanted to clear one doubt.
1> Do I have to send those SSR completed by me only (I've been to a normal school till my 10th grade) or do i need to be get that done by my 10th grade principal?
2> And what about the recommendation and signature from the Principal/ Councillor, if I'm reporting it by myself.
3> And, since, I am not into a regular school...then how should i get those recommendations on an official school letterhead ??
4> And, what is this MIT open courseware ?I've seen that site, but How it could be of any use to us(homescholars)?(I mean it could be of use, but that too, in case if someone want to boost up their knowledege regarding the enlisted topics.It cannot earn an degree or diploma.) Am I right ?

Wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year !!
So Matt, I'd be applying as an transfer (international) applicant to MIT this year..I would be glad to know few things.
Firstly, its written...""Please have your high school transcript/secondary school records sent directly to MIT."" on Transfers page of MIT admissions....So, the question is ....is it ok that we sent our high school transcript only or do we need to sent , both of them(SSR and HST).?
Secondly, I am studying in a medical college, so no maths was there since last one year. Although, I have studied maths earlier than that. However, I have completed my coursework (one year each of college-level calculus and calculus-based physics) on my own level.And even I have scored a perfect 800 in my Maths L2 and Physics SATs. Still, am i eligible for transfers to MIT or not ?
Thirdly, what about the procedure of taking exclusive admission to MIT's EECS department only after transfers.
Thanks beforehand.

I have finished everything in my application, all is done except for the interview. I had contacted my EC much before 10th Dec but I received no reply. So a week later I forwarded the mail again to her and she replied saying that she was in Boston and would be in Mumbai (where I'm staying) to conduct my interview after 18th Dec. So on 19th I mailed her regarding the interview but got no reply. I emailed her gain on 23rd. I understand and agree that she may be busy.
I had sent an email to interview@mit.edu, regarding the situation, on 24th Dec but they were closed due to Christmas.
(In Part 2 I selected the option "I was unable to contact my interviewer" and explained my situation in the additional information section)
So, I wanted to know if it would affect my application in any way? And is there anything I should do? I do not mind having an interview at a later date if required.

I'm an international student and have done almost everything required. I only just realized that I've totally forgotten the secondary school report and I won't be able to contact a counselor until after the holidays. Is there any chance I might be able to send the Secondary School Report (including Transcript) in the beginning of january next year and still have my application be considered?

I am applying as a transfer and I noticed that I could not make my own MyMIT account for transfer admission, only for freshman admission. So are there any online applications for transfers or do transfers have to print everything out on paper and mail it?

There are 3 projects I'm working on. One is a research paper in chemistry for which my teacher will submit the report.
Others are 'a science project' and 'an electronics project'.
Do I submit the supervisor's report for them or give MIT a link?
Also, MIT varsity athletics form (field hockey) asks for Skills/Highlights DVD or online link. What kind of video should it be?
My hockey coach does not have an e-mail ID. So, should i leave the field blank?

Thank you for the responce!
I got 93 on TOEFL would it help me balance till the January score arrives?
I am sure that I will do much better on January SAT subject test because I was going to take the SAT reasoning test in October a few days before the test I had decided that I was not ready for the test and took the SAT subject test without preparation instead.

I have very bad scores on the SATs (both 1 and 2). Would my application still be considered for admission or be thrown away as soon as you see the scores. I will take the SAT again in January, will it hurt my chance if the officers see my bad scores?

I just want to make sure that I got this:
-Is it alright if the fee waiver is sent after January 1st?
- Due to complications, my recommendation letters will probably be sent on the 4th on January. Does that still work out?
Thank you in advance for your time.

I have sent my TOEFL and SAT subject test scores to MIT. I also gave the SAT reasoning test, but didn't score too good. Should I send those scores also or would it have a negative impact on my application?
Thanks!!
Posted by: Akshay on December 29, 2011
Don't mind but u should apply later..as in i can see ur "english" used here , which is totally messed up. Better u should work on your language part rather than application. Anyone can understand, y u scored low in SAT Reasoning and i can bet, u wouldn't have scored more than 100 + in TOEFL, either.
Mind it !!
Otherwise, its all up to u.
Best.

Good luck with all the applications! I know this time is stressful, but I hope that you all are able to enjoy the holidays a bit as well
For those of you who are interested in international development (community service abroad) work, I wanted to point you to an interesting nonprofit that a couple of MIT students, MIT alumni, and Peace Corps Volunteers are working on! We have been selected as finalists in the Intel Innovators competition and if we gather enough votes, we have the chance to win $100K! You can vote on facebook (directions are in the see more part of this event: http://www.facebook.com/events/294448130592468/, and we would truly appreciate your help!
This project started as an offshoot of the international action projects that we went on through the Global Poverty Initiative and Public Service Center at MIT, so you should definitely check out both groups if you are interested!
Thanks!

I am an international applicant applying from the United Kingdom, I have already sent in my application as well as my ACT/ SAT2 but I was wondering if it is possible to take the Feburary ACT date (as there is no January test date for this exam) or is it only ACT/SAT scores that is sent before the end of January that can be credited?

@Rochelle: Glad it worked out!
@Kamran: If you fix your validation errors, you will be able to preview.
@Nick: It depends. If your EC is no longer willing to interview, I would select Interview Waived by MIT, and then after January 3 email interview@mit.edu and ask them to re-waive the interview. However, if you EC is still willing to do an interview, I would write something like, "Interview was waived until December 18; now trying to schedule interview with new EC."
@Abhijeet: Recommendation letters that look possibly dubious -- including those not on official school letterhead and those not signed -- will draw additional scrutiny in the admissions process.
@saeedajmal: It sounds like you may want to use either the extra space in the Part 2 or the space in the Midyear Report.
@Aishvarya: The Financial Aid question goes into the financial aid database, but does not appear on the application because MIT is need-blind. As we review your application we do not care how much financial aid you might need. You are always eligible for financial aid.
@MythBuster: 1) We will need at least a transcript from your 10th grade school. 2) You can talk about what kind of homeschooling you've been doing since you left formal school. 3) You should try your best to get letters from teachers besides yourself, possibly from 10th grade. 4) OpenCourseWare is a resource for independent learners; via an initiative called MITx, it will begin offering certificates next year, but will not offer an MIT degree.
@TransFat: 1) Just the transcript. 2) You are not automatically ineligible. 3) If you apply as a transfer to study EECS and are admitted, you can study EECS at MIT.
@Mohit: You have done everything right, and it will not negatively impact your application.
@Maha: Either one is fine for the schooling date; I've seen applicants make either choice. For supplemental material, you can follow the instructions on the Supplemental Document Cover Sheet.
@Neharika: Because you are an international student, you cannot choose an ethnicity. And if your preferred name is the same as your given name, that wouldn't show up either. If your preferred name is different, let me know and I can fix it.
@Shankar: As I wrote above, the MyMIT Tracking is up-to-date (while the Admissions Office is closed, the Records Office is working hard), but please recognize that processing can take 2 weeks. You do not need to worry at this time about documents that are not showing on MyMIT; we currently have a backlog of materials in our processing center, and expect to have that backlog into January. Do not send a second copy of any document at this time. Also, you do not need to call MIT Admissions at this time to check on any such documents (there is a time for this later). Do not worry about materials that have not yet shown up on MyMIT Tracking.
@Zippo: As I wrote above, it is perfectly fine if, through no fault of your own, your school forms (e.g. teacher recommendations, secondary school report, transcript) come in after the January 1 deadline. We are much more understanding of and flexible with late documents from schools than with late documents from the applicant.
@Hasan: There is no online transfer application at this time. You must print and mail.
@Sudhanshu: For the projects, a link would be good in the space provided. As for field hockey -- we only have women's field hockey, so men's forms will not be considered.
@Michael: Send an official transcript.
@Mridul: Looking into it.
@Erdenechimeg: Yes, send the 93 in the meantime.
@Danny: We have no minimum or cutoff score for the SAT. All applications are considered. However you may be interested in the results from last year: http://mitadmissions.org/apply/process/stats
As for the translation, you could try a self0translation if you let us know the circumstance (i.e. financial hardship) and disclose that you did it yourself. Also include the original, official transcript as we have staff who can read many languages.
@SS: Yes, this is all okay.
@Akshay: It is your choice.
@Reni: We cannot accept February tests.
@Hung-Tse: Looking into it.

I submitted my Part 1 and Part 2 app to MIT on tuesday.
My question has to do with the Testing requirements. I took two subject test on Dec 3rd, and received: Math level 2-700, Biology E 670. I am planning to register for the Jan test date. I was debating between improving those two subject test scores or try to break 2000 on the reasoning SAT(will be my 4th time taking the SAT).
What would be you advice for me?
: Taking the subject tests again, or taking the SAT for the 4th time and break 2000, or don't bother taking any test at this point?
Posted by: Xiao Jing Yang on December 29, 2011
I have the same issue as Antonio and Andrew above. The system will not let me submit my application. It keeps saying that there is an error "Permanent Address is Required" in Section 2 of Part 1 although my permanent address has been filled out correctly.
I realize that the application deadline will have passed already by the time someone reads the email that I sent to the admissions office about this.
Is there anything I can do about it?
Thank you!

I am an international student studying in the UK at the moment, and I am wondering whether MIT has heard of or knows about the UK-based Headstart course for engineering, where prospective undergraduates spend 3 days studying at a university e.g. cambridge, oxford, imperial and getting a taste of what university life is like.
Posted by: Rajiv Dua on December 29, 2011
1) Does employment also count internships that are unpaid? I had a summer internship that was unpaid, but I think it's still an experience worth listing on my application. Should I list it under summer activities, employment, or both?
2) I copy and pasted my short essays into the various text boxes. While one of my essays was a few words over the word limit, the essay was not cut off when I previewed it. Does this mean my essay is in the clear or will the word count be "strictly enforced" later on when I submit my Part 2?
Thank you!

When I was filling out my part one of the application I clicked that I apply for the free and reduced lunch program and would send a waiver in for my application cost. Unfortunately, I never used an SAT waiver, even though I am eligible, and my college center is closed for the holidays so I can't get any form of waiver until Jan 7. Since the application is almost due I can sum up the money to pay for the application. Where can I pay at this point?
Thanks!
Posted by: Nelson Moreno on December 29, 2011
I just had a quick question. On the application, it mentioned sending optional materials to MIT if you are a "maker" and what not. Although I didn't say I will send something in for the other part of optional supplements, I would like to send something now. Is it ok to email just a link to the admissions office detailing what I've written about above or who should I send the email to?
Thanks a lot! And I hope you have a great 2 more days before 2012!

As an international applicant I decided to write the SAT earlier this year in order to apply to MIT. I have reported the SAT scores that I received in my application.
However, as a non-native English speaker who doesn't speak English at home and has been speaking English for less than 5 years I understand that TOEFL is the recommended option for me.
Recently, I decided to write the TOEFL as well to attempt at a better score. I will be writing the test in January and have listed MIT as a recipient for the scores so they will be directly reported to MIT. I was wondering which score MIT would consider because I won't have the option to report the TOEFL scores on my application as it has already been submitted.
Thank you.
Posted by: Shalini on December 29, 2011
No I Won't.
I did so but still the same problem remained. and I won't submit anything until I preview it. and don't submit my new version of Form 2 because I deleted some parts to test your Idea (which I knew it was wrong and it been proven to me) so right now my form 2 is only a row of words that doesn't have meaning because they are incomplete.

The system is truly awesome in many ways, but clearly this isn't one of them.
You should let us know that what you tried didn't work by submitting a report, or go back and try something else";

Posted by: Katrina on December 30, 2011
I also had two questions about letters of recommendation. First, my humanities teacher sent in his letter two weeks ago, and it is still not showing on my application. Second, the system said my math/science recommendation was already submitted *before* my teacher sent in his form. I think this might be due to confusion with a supplemental letter of recommendation. Is there a way to check that the primary letter of recommendation did, indeed, arrive?

@Neharika: From our website: "MIT considers any student who does not hold US citizenship or permanent residency to be an international applicant, regardless of where you live or attend school. US Permanent Residents are those students who have an official copy of their Green Card in hand. If you are in the process of obtaining a Green Card, then you are considered by MIT to be an international student, regardless of where your high school is located. If you are an American citizen or permanent resident, then you are considered a domestic applicant." If your Green Card comes through prior to decisions being released, please let us know.
@Xiao Jing: I don't know what to tell you. Do what you think is best.
@Annie: All fixed.
@Rajiv: Some of the officers are aware of them, but don't assume that your application reader is intimately familiar with it.
@Jenny: 1) I'd choose either summer activities or employment, applicants have done it both ways. 2) If you have validated and previewed the app, and it's all there, that is exactly what we will see.
@Nelson: You should not pay the fee. You qualify for a fee waiver from us, whether or not you used the SAT Waiver. Check the fee waiver box and send us whatever you can, whenever you can.
@Song: Since you've already submitted your Part 2, email us a link to admissions@mit.edu after January 3.
@Moe: No need to expect anything. Some coaches may follow up with everyone, some may not follow up with anyone.
@Tyler: You can apply; get those letters to us ASAP.
@Shalini: We will consider the test scores that you submit to us. Scores are evaluated within an applicant's context.
@Kamran: I don't know why it's not working. Once you've ensured that your answers are as you want them, and it passes validation, I'd try to submit it. Let's see what happens from there. If you cannot submit, we will extend your deadline until we can fix the problem.
@Toluwanimi: I'm looking into your problem. If the problem continues past the deadline, we will extend your deadline until we can fix the problem.
@Abdul-Rashid: Your interviewer is out of the country; we are aware of the situation.
@Rohit: I cannot rate your chances. Also, see Nelson's answer above.
@Katrina: It can take a while at this time of year. Please be patient. Don't worry, all is good!
@Mitchell: For the B Eval, please be patient. For the A Eval, you are right that we had your supplement there -- I've made the request for correction.
@Egor: I'm looking into it.
@George: I'd write something like: "Missed deadline; have requested late interview."

1) My evaluators and counselor have already submitted by fax their reports and letters but they do not show in the system yet. Should I worry? One of the evaluators has also sent an email to the admissions office with a copy of my letter, just to be sure it has arrived, is that okay?
2) I am an International, I study in an Italian school in Peru. Is the MIT aware that in Peru the academic year starts in March and end in December?
3) Is the MIT familiarized with the Italian Esame di Stato certificate (awarded after finishing an Italian Highschool) ? And what about the Peruvian Certificate of Secondary Studies?

This way I should be put into the category of psychopath criminals. I violated the limits some thing around 100 words. and for the section 9 I used 700 words. (I don't know the limit) and don't try to understand the relationship between being psychopath and breaking the limits. I used the psychopath because of the concept of my essay.

I would have the same idea if I was US citizen. English is your first language and I think all of you should have the ability read English Literature and understand it. I read Persian literature and really like it and I am ahead from my classmates. but there is no reason for me ,international individual, in this period of time that I am in the beginning of my path and my mother tongue is not english to learn english in that level (it is really good if someone has the time but most don't have)

@Jmsaad: These are two different questions. On the part one, you should say that you are a US citizen. Then, you can submit the TOEFL -- submitting the TOEFL is not related to your citizenship.
@Francesco: 1) No, do not worry. As I wrote above, "The MyMIT Tracking is up-to-date (while the Admissions Office is closed, the Records Office is working hard), but please recognize that processing can take 2 weeks. You do not need to worry at this time about documents that are not showing on MyMIT; we currently have a backlog of materials in our processing center, and expect to have that backlog into January. Do not send a second copy of any document at this time. Also, you do not need to call MIT Admissions at this time to check on any such documents (there is a time for this later). Do not worry about materials that have not yet shown up on MyMIT Tracking." 2) Yes. 3) Yes.
@Kamran: You can email us whatever you want, but the best way to handle this will be to have our tech staff fix you problem next week and for you to submit your application through MyMIT then.
@Aditya: I'm looking into your problem. If the problem continues past the deadline, we will extend your deadline until we can fix the problem.
@Aminat: Do not rush your scores. Send them normally and we will receive them in time.
@viku: Yes, mention as many as you like.
@wale: Do not worry. You have sent the documents as requested. The January 1 deadline is a postmark date, not a received date, and even then we are flexible with school documents. You are fine.
@Aishvarya: You can leave it blank if you need to.
@Mathew: As I wrote above, "January is the last testing date that can be seen by the Admissions Committee (February will not be seen). If you will be taking the January test, you obviously don't have the scores yet to write down in your application. This is okay. Just be sure that when you take the test, you designate MIT to receive the scores; other than this, you do not need to do anything special. Please do not rush report your scores. We require either SAT Reasoning Test OR ACT Plus Writing (or TOEFL) AND 2 SAT Subject Tests (one in math, one in science). We we only use the scores that make you look best, and we do abide by Score Choice."
@Guille: If you have not yet sent MIT your scores through the College Board, then you need to do that, yes.

There are some problems that occur in my awards section, for some reasons, all of my awards are disappeared but one. It happened after application. I know this really harms my admissibility. What can I do please?
Please I think MIT is kind of a big deal for me and I am from China.

@ Christina
1,2) I think you should have mailed those supplements directly to the office of admission and it's postmark deadline is 1 Jan so I think you'd better post it immediately. (don't forget the MIT Supplemental Document Cover Sheet )
3) I don't think so because it is written very clearly "To be completed by students in U.S. or U.S. based school systems only."
4) I think you should upload it on a website or your own website and write down the URL in the part provided as URL..

Happy new year! I hope you have a good one.
I have a question for you, I sent my Evaluation A, B, and Secondary School report by mail to MIT admissions office on the 19th of December, and it should arrive by the 22nd. Should I be panicking that the links are still blue and underlined? I know you said we shouldn't worry about documents we don't send ourselves being late, but I was just wondering if it's reached the office. Thanks! : )

Dear Matt,
I have already sent my recos and my secondary school report by fax on the 22nd Dec, however my account in the MIT does not show the conformation for secondary report; please do confirm its receipt.
Posted by: Pranav Kumar Mohanty on January 1, 2012
A word of advice: Do check your email and myMIT account regularly for the next couple of weeks, even months. If you are missing something, they will let you know. (That happened to my daughter in EA. It was an issue of the school counselor not submitting all of the documents they were supposed to. We were notified and we were able to get the situation solved.)
Remember, it does take some time for things to show up as received, but if you've done your part in requesting the materials be sent the rest will be worked out. Don't give up or lose hope.
Since I'm a mom, I can't forget to encourage you to have an application in at a couple of "back-up" universities, because even though you're brilliant and are very qualified, and probably a great match, there is no certainty that the admissions team will be able to choose you, so prepare for all possible outcomes.
And lastly, live life as if you will be admitted: Stay out of trouble, continue doing what you do, and be cautious of what you write on-line. Everything you do needs to reflect who you are, whether they're looking or not.
(Truly motherly advice, I know, but it's true)

For anyone not familiar with OMF's problem, I am unable to preview the PDF of my application part 2 and I can't submit it! I've been trying since 29th December, and I'm desperate now. i understand that MIT does not entertain complaints about technical errors as excuses for late submission of applications, can anyone help me out?!
@ OMF if you have managed to do something about this, can you tell me what worked?

@Dingzhong: I would email us the corrections after January 3 at admissions@mit.edu.
@Kamran: I don't know the exact date, but it hasn't passed yet. If you have conducted your interview more than two weeks ago and it has not yet appeared on your MyMIT tracking, you should submit the Conducted Interview Form.
@Jin: Fixed.
@viku: I would definitely write something in response to that question. If you have more to say, feel free to include it elsewhere. You need not wait until January 3rd to fax documents.
@Kevin: Do not panic. Do not worry. We have lots and lots of mail that we are still processing. You are fine.
@Pranav: Do not worry. We have lots and lots of mail that we are still processing. You are fine.
@Martin: Send us what you have when you can. If you can get the fax to work, that's great, otherwise you can mail it, even if it is after January 1.

Happy New Year! and thank you for all your help answering our questions even over the holidays.
I recently submitted my MIT application and indicated in the interview section that I missed the deadline and have requested a late interview.
However, I still have two concerns,
1. If I obtain the interview, will it put me at a disadvantage because I booked it late?
2. If my EC doesn't respond, could I switch to another EC?
Thank you very much!
Have a wonderful first day of 2012!

Thank you
Ramsey
Posted by: Ramsey on January 1, 2012
You say it's no disadvantage but there is. that is it is an incomplete representation from ur side to the university and rather u had not got the "benefit " of being interviewed. that is a sufficient disadvantage.when others evaluations of interviewers will be considerd they wont harm our chances(who were not interviewed.) but on the other hand we would not have that benefit that will be enjoyed by the ones interviewed..i hope u caught my point of view.please do help cuz i have been patient since long(december 6th) without any panic attacks. but will soon have one if i am not interviewed.

I noticed that on the MIT Application Tracking page, I'm missing my Evaluation B and Secondary School Report but I checked with my teacher and counselor at the beginning of December and they submitted both parts. Is it possible that MIT hasn't processed all of them yet? Can you help me confirm this? My MIT ID is 1298708
I'm planning to ask them to resubmit them again once school starts if they still haven't appeared on the application tracking page by then. Will MIT allow late forms if this is the case?
Thank you!
Posted by: George on January 1, 2012
@Kevin: 42.
@Anindita: January is the last testing date that can be seen by the Admissions Committee (February will not be seen).
@Ramsey: It takes more than 2 business days. Be patient. If it hasn't appeared on MyMIT by mid-January, then you can check with us again.
@Carfreak: Stay in touch with Neetu and Varun. See if either of them can give you an interview.

I sent my SAT Scores through the collegeboard a couple of days back by regular order and saw that they might take up to 1-2 weeks to process and send the reports. Will this be an issue?
Also, I contacted my school and they said they mailed the forms (School Report and Evaluations A & B) on the 19th and 20th of December by regular registered post. I am am international applicant and the mail might take 10-15 days to reach the Office.
I am aware that you mentioned that this would be no issue provided it is through no fault of mine. The thing is, this has not been mentioned in the mails.

@Martin IF you have sent your documents,your job is finished for that part.Anything the Admissions Office finds missing,etc they will contact you.Relax for now .No need to stress out.!!
@Mayisha I don't really think that MIT accepts commonapp.It has it's own application.Still I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THIS.
@Prapti No need to worry.Send an email at admissions@mit.edu explaining the situation and they will help you out.Nothing to be worried.Just complete all your forms.There could be a server error,may be your deadline will be extended until they rectify your error.

I live in California and submitted my essay around 9:15 pm on January 1stthinking that I was a full almost 3 hours early. However, one of my friends told me that the Common Application is due midnight eastern time.
So my questions are:
Is the application due midnight eastern time?
If it is, does MIT accept applications that are a few minutes late?
If I tell MIT that I was not aware that my application was due midnight eastern time, would they be understanding?

I have emailed my application materials on December 18th but the admission office told me I'd better fax them.
I faxed my application materials yesterday (January 1st) but it seems difficult to read the faxed materials.
Otherwise, I emailed you the documents (4 PDF) on December 30th so you might be able to read those much easier.
Could you tell me if it's fine? My MIT ID is : 1379608

I do appreciate your responsibility. I asked my Chemistry teacher to write my evaluation letter. I have no idea why, but my dean didn't let me to see the letter before sending it. After sending it, she gave a me a copy of it. As a part of evaluation form, MIT asked my teacher " how long does she know me?" and she answered 23 years!!!! while I'm only 18. Her English proficiency is almost weak and I am afraid of that she couldn't understand the question. Does it affect my admission in someways?

Honestly, @carfreak gauve, not to carry out any speculation or criticize your conduct but I'd suggest that if you really are serious about MIT, you should stop wasting your time posting useless posts and spend your time in more constructive activities. Plus, it's really irritating to see your good-for-nothing comments after every other post rather than seeing to credible answers to question asked by people who actually are serious about getting admitted. As for your essays not fitting in the word limit, that is just another challenge for us; they want to see how effectively we can sell ourselves in limited space, so that's hardly anything to complain about.
Anyway, moving on, @Matt McGann '00:
Sir, I didn't mention a couple of my achievements in Part II of my application because I couldn't find my certificates at that time; I wasn't sure about my ranks and I didn't want to provide any false information. I found them last night and considering that my ranks are pretty good, I want to mention them now. How should I go about it? Should I send them in an e-mail to the admissions department? Or should I write them in my Midyear Report? As I understand, I am not supposed to fill in the Midyear Report because my school doesn't provide midyear grades, so what should I do?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Posted by: Sameer on January 3, 2012
I saved and submitted my application without any issues, but I overshot the word limit in some essays by a few words. Will you see my application exactly like it appears in the preview, or will my essays go to you truncated?

Posted by: J on January 3, 2012
@Sameer You can definitely put those achievements in the mid-year report mentioning the details about why you were not able to put them in part2 at that moment.No worries!!

I'm little bit worrying about my recomendation letters. My teachers have sent their recomendation letters (and Secondary School report) by mail in the same envelope, on 15th December 2011. But until now the letters haven't shown up in my myMIT account (the boxes haven't been checked). My friend, who sent his recommendation letters on 29th Dec, said that the letters have shown up in his account. Does it mean a problem for me? Thanks before
Posted by: Samuel L. Putra on January 4, 2012
I am starting to worry too. My school posted the letters on the 19th and 20th of December and they are supposed to take approximately 10-15 days to reach the admissions office. They are still not showing on my MyMIT account (boxes unchecked). I contacted the school and they in turn contacted the post office to see if the letters have been delivered but there has been no answer.
I am an international applicant. Should I ask them to fax the letters and SSR? School starts after the 9th of January. Or should I wait some more? Should I contact the admissions office?
Thanks in advance.

Happy new year! (I hope it's better than mine- I have 2 Cambridge A-Level further math tests tomorrow :-O ). I'm applying from the African Leadership Academy in South Africa although I am Nigerian. In my application, I focused on being an all rounder and kind of a polymath as I pursue many passions like art, writing, classical music and personal research.
Although I thought against it when I applied, I was wondering if sending art supplements or samples of my work could give more insight into my application. Also, I would like to know if such supplements could count against me.
Lastly, I wrote an essay in writing class here at ALA that best describes me and wanted to add it to my application but there wasn't enough space in the additional info section. Is it possible for me to still send it?
Thanks for being there for all of us! I know that sorting out 10,000 applications must be a motherload!
