<p>ack, I already emailed my EC to set up an interview date. He lives like 10 minutes away from me. </p>
<p>Does the 17% acceptance rate for girls really mean anything special for me?</p>
<p>^ To your first point, I don’t think it matters. You will just get it out of the way so I guess that is a good thing</p>
<p>…ehz - Uh, what do you mean?</p>
<p>Even if your EC information does change, it’s okay to have contacted or to have had an interview with the EC who was originally listed. </p>
<p>
It means that the women who apply to MIT are exceptionally qualified.</p>
<p>I currently hail from Orange County, California, although I’ve also lived in Michigan for a year and my permanent residence is in Singapore. :p</p>
<p>BTW, how is everyone able to access the online application? I haven’t had any luck… :(</p>
<p>^ It isn’t up yet.</p>
<p>It might sound ridiculous, but I know both of the ECs of our country. Can I politely ask them to change my current EC, and replace by another? :-s (basically because the seniors said that he was really awesome, and he takes interview near my house)</p>
<p>@mathmad:
If you believe your relationship with the interviewer may cause a conflict of interest, then you should contact the admin office to change interviewer.</p>
<p>Oh ****.</p>
<p>My EC is my friend’s dad. I never even knew he went to MIT. This could be interesting.</p>
<p>My son contacted his EC to set up an interview, but unfortunately the EC prefers to wait until late Sept/ early Oct. It would have been nice to cross this off the list before the craziness of senior year begins. Oh well, I am sure it will all work out for the best.</p>
<p>what kind of questions are asked by the EC ?</p>
<p>^I’ll be addressing that in an interview thread soon, but for now suffice to say that the ECs ask a huge variety of questions so preparation isn’t all that helpful [and can in fact have a negative effect.]
One question you’ll definitely see though is: “Why MIT?”</p>
<p>^ Will there be a new interview thread for 2010? I’ve looked through last year’s and it’s getting really long and hectic.</p>
<p>jimmy says maybe in a weak or so.</p>
<p>@resilient
Yes, and as the above poster said, in about a week. I’m just waiting on a reply from a mod.</p>
<p>^ Have you already had your interview?</p>
<p>^I haven’t yet; I’m a rising senior, and much like many of the students on this board, I’m trying to get informed on the admissions process. I’ll be sure to update my post when I do meet for the interview, but for now my intention is to round up interview information gathered from this board and some other sources into one place.</p>
<p>How many people have already submitted their Part 1? (hint: me!) :p</p>
<p>Me too, haha. I’ve actually finished 4/5 essays too! :D</p>
