<p>Hey, Mollie B (at MIT)
I’m just about to submit my mid-year report, but I realised that I maybe should send in an additional recommendation + some more info. I emailed the folks at the MIT office about it but they said they preferred stuff on the MYR. Issue is MYR is only 250 words worth of text. Would now be too late to send in the mail? It would probably get there in a few days.
Cheers.</p>
<p>I was planning on sending the abstract of my research paper. It’s just under 250 words, so would it be a good idea to include it in the MYR?</p>
<p>I just got 670 on math level 2. how is that going to influence my admission? i’m an international student from Croatia. did 100 on toefl and 730 on physics. if I do not stand a chance, just say it :D</p>
<p>Be aware that anything you send with your MYR will likely not be seen by all the application readers – I would expect the admissions officers to go into selection committee very soon, so I assume they are only having a few people briefly read the MYRs. </p>
<p>You can send anything you want, but there is no guarantee that the admissions officers will be able to read and carefully consider it.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply, Mollie. Do you think that sending the abstract via snail mail would raise the probability of admissions officers reading it, or would it be a nuisance (extra paper to add to my app)?</p>
<p>I don’t think the probability of anything being read at this point depends on the mode of submission. Either via the MYR or via snail mail will be fine, although obviously the MYR will get it there quicker at this point.</p>
<p>In the past, Matt has sometimes posted a blog entry (e.g. [Feb</a> 16, 2005](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/selecting_from_10439_applicati.shtml]Feb”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/the_selection_process_application_reading_committee_and_decisions/selecting_from_10439_applicati.shtml) and [Feb</a> 20, 2006](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/misc/miscellaneous/selection_continues.shtml]Feb”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/misc/miscellaneous/selection_continues.shtml)). More recently, I think they have just not had time, as applications have increased, but the release date has remained more or less constant.</p>
<p>I have a question, due to the winter storm my school will be closed tomorrow so I still haven’t got my semester grades, so I can’t really fill out my mid-year report. So what should I do? I emailed my counselor but I’m not sure if she can get me my grades or not.</p>
<p>@SpaceUnion: I think they have several options of what you can do on the midyear report submit page if that’s the case. I already did mine so I can’t remember the exact options:
@Everyone else: 1 month left…</p>
<p>Did all of the RD people see this? I don’t think it was ever posted in the EA thread.</p>
<p>[MIT</a> Admissions](<a href=“http://mymit.info/]MIT”>http://mymit.info/)</p>
<p>Does anyone have their January SAT scores showing up on the application tracker yet?</p>
<p>Anyone NOT having them show up in tracking?</p>
<p>Millancad,
The link says that in 2009, the Regular Decisions heard on March 14th? Did you see anything for 2010— when the RD will be released?</p>
<p>MIT will not announce a decision date until they are partway through selection. In the past few years, they have announced the date during the first week of March, and decisions themselves have been released as close to Pi Day (3/14) as is humanly possible.</p>
<p>I think that, usually, if they’re done on Pi day, they’re done at 1:59. So, then it’s 3.14159. My Art History teacher was excitedly telling us all about it last year since her father went there, even though there were no MIT applicants in the class.</p>
<p>The EA decisions date was announced on the seventh, I think, which was 9 days before the decisions themselves came out. Since I was in England sans internet access and had to call my sister to see if the date and time were out, I may have missed the drop of the date for decisions by a day or two.</p>
<p>since when have decisions always been on a saturday? EA decisions weren’t…</p>
<p>@Handala92: Does that the decision comes out on Saturday conflict with that it comes out on March 14? This year March 14 is Sunday, last year it’s Saturday, and in 2008, it’s Friday.</p>
<p>Oh ya you’re right. Just have googled a little bit and found this:

<p>Anyone else take the January SAT tests and not have their scores updated yet?</p>
<p>Anyone know when the latest one can send application updates to MIT in time for them to actually matter? Just wondering as I have two major competitions this week and wonder if there is any point in emailing the results to MIT.</p>
