How space do we have for updates in the Mid year report?

<p>Hi,
I was deferred for EA.
I'd like to know how much space students have on the mid year report for update information. The word limit is important because I have to prepare my update information accordingly.
It's definitely better to send MIT update info through the mid year report than through regular mail/email, right?
What is the deadline for extra letters of rec?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I emailed Matt about this, and he said

All students will have to fill out the Midyear Report online, and it includes a space for updates. This is the space that will be most used in admissions committee for updates. However, we will still accept emailed and mailed updates, recommendations, etc as well up until the deadline.

So if you would prefer to send your updates via email or postal mail, you may do so, or you may wait until the midyear report is available and report your updates through that form.</p>

<p>You should have extra letters sent as early as possible, hopefully so they will arrive by early February.</p>
