<p>Other things : I volunteered at two different hospitals. Each hospital I had 50 hours in it. How do i exactly prove this to the people... Oh yeah i also volunteered to help underpriveledged children in schools to understand math and reading concepts better.</p>

<p>General Comments: Well there you go. </p>

<p>Oh and could someone tell me if I do EA, can i still do ED somewhere else?
Thanks!</p>

<p>You may do EA at MIT and ED somewhere else if the ED school allows you to do so -- MIT asks only that you follow the rules for the ED school.</p>

3

<p>Yes, MIT states in their application that they will accept November test scores for EA without 'score rushing'.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh ok, i know i need to raise that CR score at LEAST 60-70 points. :d</p>

<p>I really think that my biggest weakness comes from my lack of EC's... my school is VERY weak in EC's and has only 2 honor socities... it is more of a sports school and in WV you don't get good schools... oh and my SAT is a problem too :d but i mentioned that in the previous post. I really hope that somehow.. or someway that I pull it off with outstanding essay's. Oh and how many teacher + counselor + outside recs should i have. I was thinking 3-4. IS that fine?</p>

<p>Extra curriculars don't have to be things you do at school.</p>

7

<p>well then i didn't do much other than volunteering.. that in total was around 200 hours.</p>

<p>MIT requires one math/science teacher rec, one "humanities" teacher rec, and a giudence counselor report. If you have someone else who knows you in a different context and can add something meaningful and different to the picture of you, it's fine to submit that as a supplemental rec. Beyond that it can start to get into the "overkill" category, so just be judicious. Best of luck!</p>
