The MIT Midyear Report is now available! You can fill it out now at http://my.mit.edu.
The MIT Midyear Report is an online form that is required of all students, and is to be completed by you, the applicant. The Report serves two purposes: to provide your updated grades since you have applied, and to mention other updates since you submitted your application. Please submit this form as soon as your midyear grades are available or by February 15th, whichever is earlier.
Some notes:
- The Midyear Report is an online form that is to be completed by every student being considered for Regular Action admission (thus, RA applicants -- including international students -- and EA deferreds). The Midyear Report should also be completed by students who were accepted during Early Action.
- The Midyear Report is to be completed by you, the applicant.
- You should complete the Report as soon as possible after completion of the fall semester or second quarter (if your school uses a trimester schedule, please use your first trimester grades).
- Even if you have no midyear grades to report, you should still complete the Midyear Report. Note that there is also an option in the Report for students whose schools do not provide any midyear grades, homeschooled students, and students already out of school.
- You do not need to have a hardcopy of your updated transcript sent by your school, and even if your school has sent a hardcopy transcript, you are still required to submit the MIT Midyear Report.
- The MIT Midyear Report is different than the Common Application Midyear Report. The Common App MYR which is filled out by your counselor and sent to Common Application schools. The MIT Midyear Report is to be filled out by you, the applicant, online via your MyMIT Tracking.
-
The MIT Midyear Report serves two purposes:
- to get your updated grades since you have applied ("Midyear Grades").
- to get any other updates since you submitted your application ("Midyear Updates").
- The Midyear Grades form has fields for your to report your coursework and grades. This is similar to the Self-Reported Coursework Form from the Part 2 of the application, except that we're only looking for current year courses and grades. And we're only looking for this from students with something to report -- so if you're in a school that doesn't have midyear grades, or you've already graduated, don't worry, you're all set -- you will be able to skip this section.
- The Midyear Updates form is a simple text box, similar to a free response box from the Part 2. This is the best place for any updates you have since submitting your application, or anything you want us to know about that you haven't already mentioned. Feel free to write in bullet points or more casual language. We're really not looking for another essay here. The Midyear Update has a maximum of 250 words.
- We are happy to accept a midyear/updated transcript from your school/counselor, or the Common App Midyear Report form. However, even if your school/counselor submits a transcript, you still are required to complete the online MIT Midyear Report.
- The MIT Midyear Report is due by February 15.
We've been getting a number of questions about the Midyear Grades section of the form. Here are some quick tips:
- For most of you, this will be pretty straightforward. You'll take your transcript, then write the course name in one box, and your semester/trimester grade in the corresponding box. For example:
Biology A+ AP Calculus A- English A+ History B+ Spanish 4 B
...or...
BC Calculus 89 IB Chemistry HL 97 British Literature 95 Japanese 100 Economics (EPGY) A- Health Pass
- In the "Grades" box, please list only grades and not narrative text. For example, it is sufficient to write "B+" rather than "B+ (Final grade)" or "B+ (online course)." Also, you don't need to write "Currently enrolled," "Just started," or "Spring semester;" it will be, in many cases, better to leave it blank.
-
While we ask for you to keep the grades column as pristine as possible, feel free to add some extra info in the "Subjects taken" box. For example:
Organic Chemistry (via dual enrollment at BHCC) A- AP Chemistry (self study / MIT OCW) Chemistry (auditing; not taking for a grade) Chemistry Honors (Spring Semester) -
If your transcript provides quarter grades but not a semester grade, you should list both quarter grades. For example:
Biology A, A- ...or...
AP Economics 96 / 92 -
If your transcript provides quarter grades and a midterm exam grade but no semester grade, you should list the quarter grades and the midterm exam grade. (Do not create your own midyear grade by averaging these grades or any other mechanism. You should report what your school reports.)
For example:
AP Chemistry A / A- / A ...or...
Theory of Knowledge 6+, 7, 7 - If your school uses a trimester schedule, please use your first trimester grades. We know that in most cases, your second trimester grades will not be available for a while. You can note in the Midyear Updates box that you are reporting first trimester grades, and also when your second trimester grades will be available.
- Some schools -- including many international schools -- have no concept of "midyear grades." This is okay. You can ignore the text boxes and simply choose the option, "I attend a school that does not provide midyear grades."
- Some schools will not release midyear grades until after the Midyear Report deadline of February 15th. This is okay. You should choose the option "Semester grades will be available on ______________________ and I will mail or fax them to you at that time."
- Some of you have graduated already and have no new grades to report. You should choose the option, "I’m not currently attending school; MIT has all of my grades."
I'll also try to field any other questions you may have in the comments.

I completed the midyear form yesterday and submitted it, but after reading this post I realized that I entered my grades incorrectly.
For each class on my report card, I have a grade for term 1, term 2, and the midyear exam. When I completed the midyear report I just entered in my grade for term 2. Is there some way I can fix this and add in my term 1 and midyear exam grades or should I just let it be?
Thanks!

My school starts its academic year early (February). As a result, my first semester exams (My school follows a tri semester schedule) were completed by June and I had sent my report card along with the transcripts. As of January, I got the results of my Model Exams (equivalent to second semester exams). Should I put in my first or second semester grades in the Mid Year Report?
Thank You!

My midyear grades will be available on March 19, which I believe is after the decisions are announced, I wonder if I should still choose the option "Semester grades will be available on ______________________ and I will mail or fax them to you at that time." and fax the grades to you once I receive the grades, if yes, what is the fax number and should I fax it with the 'Supplemental Document Cover Sheet'? If no, should I choose the option, "I attend a school that does not provide midyear grades."? Thank you very much.
Posted by: Vincent on February 1, 2012
My midyear grades were available a long time back. I have still not submitted my MYR because i'm waiting for the result of a very prestigious competition which will be announced around 12th Feb. So should I wait for the result and send the MYR on 12th or should I send the MYR right now and the achievement later on via email/fax?
Posted by: Anon. on February 2, 2012
@APPLICANT: Supplemental information tracking is not available on MyMIT.
@Ashwin: Yes!
@Nidhi: You're welcome to provide both, or just the IB grade.
@Donna: It's okay. We probably already have your term 1 grade (yes?), and now having your term 2 grade gives us a very good picture of you at midyear.
@Ruslan: Don't convert anything; list the grades your school provides. We are familiar with international grading systems.
@Krishna: We don't have your Model Exam results, so it would be great to get those in the MYR.
@Emily: Your plan to "describe what [you] do with all [your] newly found free time" is perfect.
@TayS: We confirm grades versus official transcripts for all admitted students. You really don't want to be caught lying at that point.
@JR: You may wish to email admissions with your 1st and 2nd marking period grades broken out.
@Vincent: Writing in March 19 seems like a reasonable idea. If we haven't yet released decisions at that time, you'll want to fax them in with the Supplemental Document Cover Sheet.
@Anon: You can wait.

I am a prospective transfer student for the Fall of 2012 at MIT. I could not find a recent blog on transfer admissions, so I thought I would use this one instead.
I have a BIG problem. I was supposed to give my SAT Subject Tests on the 28 of January 2012. I live in the hostel of my current college which is about 300 Kilometers away from my testing center. Even though I started my journey well in advance, unforeseeable weather conditions delayed my bus and I was not able to reach my testing center on time. So I missed both my subject tests.
The administration told me to reappear on the 5th of May 2012, but I am afraid that would be too late.
Please guide me through this problem and inform me whether I am still eligible to apply to MIT or not.
Moreover, I have been trying to get in touch with the transfer office via mail and phone but have been unsuccessful so far. The application deadline is February 15 2012. Please tell me if I should even apply now. Please help me out!
Regards,
Lakshya
P.S. I hope no one other than Mr. McGann would try to answer this question. No offence, but, I really need an experienced person to talk to at the moment.

Is there any way to know if the materials were received and are in the correct format or does the absence of a reply mean that everything is in order?
Posted by: Ashwin on February 3, 2012
@Julia: No, there aren't any boxes to add. You can put the 2 overflow subjects in your Midyear Updates box, or you could combine multiple classes onto the same line, such as:
Physics // Chemistry A // A-
Either way would be fine.
@Rochelle: Let us know that it's a college class and we should be able to figure out the rest. For example, after listing your high school courses, you could write:
Physics (State Community College) A-
...or something like that. No worries.
@Applicant: If you call the office during business hours, we may be able to tell you.
@SS: You'll need to send it again. It's not a problem.
@SB: You're welcome to wait, but NMF is unlikely to make a difference in our process.
@Manda: Yes, absolutely. Also, you all will be better off if you don't think of that box as an "essay."
@Ashwin: Later this month there will be a Financial Aid Tracking system available on MyMIT. You'll be able to check there.

The EC assigned to me was Mr Rajendra Y Shah. On 7th November 2011, I communicated with Mr Shah regarding my interview. I received a reply from him on 1st December asking for my availability for the interview. Accordingly, I had completed my interview with Mr Shah on 8th December 2011. A week after the interview, the MyMIT dashboard showed a message saying that my EC was Ms Ruchi Jain. I submitted the Conducted Interview form and still the application tracker showed that the interview wasn't processed. I filled out the form again and contacted Mr Rajendra Shah through mail yesterday. He replied that I was not on his assigned list, so he cannot submit my interview report. Please follow up with Mr Rajendra Y Shah for my interview report. My MIT ID is 916237127.

@Sujanitha: We're working on it.
@Akshay: You can send us an email, or submit it via fax with the Supplemental Document Cover Sheet.
@Charlie: If you can't fit it in the text box, you can instead include a link to website where you have posted it.
@Bhawna: I'm sorry, we don't have it. You should submit it again.
@m_quinn: Not true. Most of our international students are on full or nearly full financial aid, and students from Asia are not the majority (but probably are the plurality -- it is the world's most populous continent, after all). [note for the m_quinn fans: this is not the "original" m_quinn]
@basim: We are in the process of merging your records. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
@Heather: As long as your second semester classes haven't changed, you only need to report the first semester courses and the corresponding grades. You are welcome to list your second semester courses without grades if you like.

My MyMIT dashboard shows that my Secondary School report and Transcript have not been processed while Evaluation A and B were processed on 1/27/2012. I cannot understand the situation as all of them were faxed at the same time. Also, they were emailed by my school on 2/5/12 again.

I am an International applicant from India. In Maharashtra (the state in India where I stay), the education system is of the type that we have got our final board exams from 21st Feb to 16th March, whose results would be out by the month of June. We do not have the concept of "mid year grades". But the recent exam that took place in my high school was the Preliminary exam (which is sort of a mock exam of final board exam taken in individual schools before the final exam). Our result consists of marks rather than grades. Should I report my preliminary result on the mid year report? If yes, am I supposed to convert my marks into grades?

After receiving an e-mail about missing materials last week (school report and transcript), I had my guidance counselor fax them to the number listed in the email. I know that when regularly submitting application materials, it takes quite a while to process and sort these documents, but I'm not sure about the time frame for re-mailings. Should my MyMIT account have everything checked off by now, or will it take longer?

I'm sorry to impose on a blog not meant for transfer students once again, but this is important.
The application deadline for transfer students is 02-15-2012. But, my college transcripts are not available yet. Even the administration of my college does not know when the results will be out. Moreover, due to certain rules and regulations of the institution, the college transcripts cannot be sent to MIT directly.
But, the administration has agreed to let me get a print out of my grade-card once available and verify it.
So, my query is whether I can personally send a verified copy of my grade card once it is available to MIT by scanning it and e- mailing the document to your email address or not.
P.S. Kindly tell me the email address that would accept the document if the above is possible.

I know that it is only issued with the report card, but I requested my teachers and they sent my school exams report on school official letter head. In the final mark sheet (our board result) we also have grades so you can also ask your teacher to send predicted board grades on school letter head.

@Shomith: They were in different records; I have merged them so it should be fixed now.
@AVO: I don't know what to tell you. One thing I can say is that we will not receive a February TOEFL score in time for consideration.
@Sameen: Doing well in math & science always helps, and I would say that the Chemistry Olympiad would count as doing well in science.

I participated in a state competition and my team will know our results sometime between February 7 and February 22. I am hoping that we will hear how we did before February 15, so I have delayed sending in the report. However, since now with less than a week to the deadline, I am wondering what I can do if we find out the results after I send in the report. Could I possibly email the admissions office or someone with our results? It's a fairly important competition, and winning at the state level would take us to the national competition at D.C. It's the Real World Design Challenge, and I think it's very relevant to my application as it's been a big part of my life for the past few months. What do you think I should do in the event that we get back our results after I have submitted my report?
