<p>Ok, sooo I'm dumb. Do I send additional materials to the regular MIT mailing address? And what do I need on it? Birthdate and SSN? I know I've read it somewhere but I can't find it. And yes I know it's late and it might not be read but I'm sending it anyways.</p>
<p>Yup, just send it to the address at the bottom of the admissions webpage, and all you need to have on it is your name and birthdate.</p>
<p>Would faxing supplementary information also be appropriate? I have no problem with mailing it, faxing it is just more convenient.</p>
<p>Would e-mailing extra materials to <a href="mailto:admissions@mit.edu">admissions@mit.edu</a> be acceptable? Someone posted this in the Admissions blog comments.</p>
<p>In the fall, Matt posted an entry asking that the fax be reserved exclusively for missing required materials and not for supplemental materials.</p>
<p>As for email, an email update is appropriate if the update is text; I don't believe the admissions office generally opens attachments sent in an email.</p>
<p>Regardless of the method of updating, it is very late to send an update. Most, if not all, reading is probably finished at this point.</p>
<p>Perhaps, but as an international student, isn't the reading and decisions done a couple weeks later?</p>
<p>Regardless, if I can't fax, then I may as well email or mail it in, although I'm leaning to the latter even though it will take longer because of the uncertainty of email. I don't like to be cumbersome, but I like to stay on the safe side: that said, would it be reasonable to do both?</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarification.</p>
<p>I sent in a creative writing essay I had lying around, a supplement detailing my computer programming experience, a research paper, and two short end-of-course teacher recs from summer programs. I also sent in a cover letter informing them of Presidential Scholars status.</p>
<p>I think as an International app., e-mailing should be alright now. If I were you, I would probably e-mail them unless the part is required and missing.</p>
<p>I'm sending in (or already have) sent in a letter that I still have an intent to enroll if I get accepted and an updated research paper for a book chapter which I was invited to write for with my research group. My research mentor also sent in another recommendation explaining the research that I have done.</p>
