<p>thanks mollie! i was feeling a bit left out there. =D</p>
<p>Do we get our instructor during the lottery, too, or does that come later, when we make the rest of our schedule?</p>
<p>The instructor information is actually already available for most classes if you look at the fall</a> schedule. For classes which are taught by "staff" or have multiple sections, I believe you do get your instructor's name in the lottery.</p>
<p>For the HASS requirement, can we take 3 classes in our concentration and then take the two elective in the same field and then take another class and make that area a minor?</p>
<p>So, let me just make sure it's okay:
2 CI-H/HASS-D
1 HASS-D (Concentration)
3 HASS Concentration courses</p>
<p>2 more anything?</p>
<p>Secondly, does the essay mean anything? They say the lottery is random.</p>
<p>The HASS</a> website says
[quote]
Of the six subjects required for the HASS minor, no more than five will count toward satisfaction of the eight-subject Institute HASS requirement. Of these five, only one will count toward the HASS distribution.

So yes, you can turn a concentration into a minor, but you will have to take a total of nine HASS classes instead of eight (since one of the classes for the minor can't be applied to the HASS requirement).</p>
<p>Spartan, that sounds good to me. And no, your FEE essay won't impact your lottery placement (I think that's what you're asking) -- the lottery is just a garden-variety MIT lottery.</p>
<p>I didn't pass the FEE or get a 5 on an AP English. Do I still register for the HASS Lottery?</p>
<p>You'll have to take a CI-HW</a> class your first term, and none of them are lotteried. So you'll register for your HASS when you meet with your advisor during Orientation, no need to enter the lottery.</p>
