<p>Dear David, </p>

<p>You are cordially invited to attend a special admissions information session by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taking place in your area. Use this RSVP link to see a full listing of dates, times and locations. </p>

<p>This will be a great opportunity for you to get to know MIT - and see if it's the right fit for you. </p>

<p>I hope you can attend. </p>

<p>Sincerely, </p>

<p>Marilee Jones
Dean of Admissions, MIT
77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 3-108
Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 </p>

<p>Can anyone tell me more about this before I commit to anything?</p>

<p>It should be this: <a href="http://matt.mitblogs.com/archives/2005/07/mit_central_mee.html#comments%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://matt.mitblogs.com/archives/2005/07/mit_central_mee.html#comments&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>...although that's not terribly more informative than what you already have. :)</p>

<p>It's an information session. It doesn't commit you to anything, and gives you a chance to ask questions of an MIT representative. I went to a large public information session last fall in my town, and that was very informative. I recommend MIT information sessions to anyone who might possibly consider applying to MIT.</p>

<p>Matt McGann mentioned the nationwide MIT</a> Admissions Information Sessions in his blog a couple weeks ago, perhaps this session is part of that schedule?</p>

5

<p>Yeah I got one too</p>

<p>:-D</p>

6

<p>Half the country probably got one. -__-</p>

<p>It's very useful. I went to one both my sophomore year and junior year. Everyone's invited (quite literally; bring friends if you think they're interested in MIT) [Ben, correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I did and there wasn't a problem, heh].</p>

<p>Basically, you get a presentation/infosession on MIT, and then there's a decently long Q+A session where you get to ask admissions officers questions. If I recall correctly, they also had some ECs there (YOUR potential interviewers :p).</p>

<p>And you get free cookies and soda! What's not to like? :p</p>

<p>I went to an information session over the summer at MIT. Are the infosessions this fall going to be any different?</p>

9

<p>We show some video & pictures and go a bit more in depth into certain topics than we do in the on-campus info sessions. Otherwise there's a lot of overlap.</p>

<p>As Mike says, you're free to bring friends, but please include them in the "number of people attending" when you RSVP (and please RSVP!). We need to get as accurate a head count as possible, in case we need to expand seating, etc.</p>

<p>^ ...in case they eat all the cookies themselves and have to run to the local supermarket to get more...</p>

<p>lol, yes that too :)</p>
