Does MIT ask about disciplinary actions on the counselor recommendation?

Just wondering if the counselor is also required to give an explanation.

It pays for you to be up front on what you did and what you learned from it.

MIT will likely look at “getting caught hacking in the 10th grade” differently than your high school did.

Yes.

The question is phrased, “Has this student ever been dismissed, suspended or placed on probation, or incurred a serious disciplinary action?”
