Our preference is for recommenders to use our application portal to submit documents. However, they do have the option to submit their additional documents via Naviance, SOCIR, or other methods. Applications will not be disadvantaged if recommenders submit their recommendations through a third-party service other than the MIT application portal.
Applicants should enter their recommender and counselor (or equivalent) information into the Recommendations section of the application, regardless of how the recommender intends to submit their materials, because it will help us match the materials to their application.
