<p>^ I second that</p>
<p>Mollie, Is there any way that I can tell if something supplemental has arrived? On november first, I attempted to fax a supplemental sheet with a rickety fax machine that I've never used before. I know it sounds kind of absurd of me to be worrying about it, but I am really not sure if I did the faxing right and if it got through (I had never actually sent a fax before). I mean it went through the machine and I am relatively sure I dialed the number correctly (at the right time). But to my knowledge there is no section of the tracker that would tell me if they got it. </p>
<p>It was sent (I hope) to the "Records Office"- number (617) 258-8304 that I got from MIT</a> Admissions | Blog Entry: "Missing Pieces"</p>
<p>I know this sounds petty but it was kind of an important piece of my application and I'm wondering if there's any way to confirm it was received!</p>

Can we, international students, send all the school forms, fee waivers, supplementary recommendations, financial aid forms in one big envelope with the individual components in separate envelopes inside the big one?

You can definitely send all of the admissions stuff (school forms, fee waiver, supplementary recommendations) in one envelope, as it all gets processed by the mail room. I am not as sure about the financial aid stuff, since it goes to an entirely different office. This would be a good question to ask Daniel Barkowitz, the financial aid director.</p>

There isn't currently any way to check on the status of supplemental material unless you call the admissions office to check that it has arrived.</p>
<p>oops... I just realized that I put my SAT date as 05/2007, and I just looked it up and discovered it was really 03/2007. I hope this is not a big deal.......</p>
<p>Mollie, on the collegeboard website it says for MIT: SAT or ACT writing component will be used as follows:
* Not using essay component</p>
<p>I know you told me that Matt said writing section isn't used (and so I didn't send my retake with better writing scores for EA). Did you mean that the essay isn't used, or is the entire writing section not used for admissions?</p>
<p>Hey Mollie ... did you check your PM inbox? :)</p>
<p>Yes, and I'm sorry I didn't reply.</p>
<p>I should perhaps make my policy clear other than in my profile: I don't have time to read or critique all of the essays and statements I get sent, so out of fairness to all, I don't read or critique any.</p>
<p>Oops! Sorry. :)</p>
<p>hey adrivit. am still alive, kay? why don't u use me in that regard?</p>
<p>Oh dear me, I had so totally forgotten about you ... considering how infrequently you show up on facebook ... all hosed and everything ;) Check your email then! Also your facebook inbox.</p>
<p>I have graduated from high-school and am in my gap-year now. So, my Principal doesn't have to fill out the mid-year report right? Since I am the first applicant from my school, she doesn't have a clue. What do I ask her to do?</p>
<p>mid year report is only for US applicants, not for us (in the MIT app, unlike the common app)</p>
<p>I am late cuz my SAT II date is on jan 2009 , so can i apply on Sprng 2010 ? or rolling admission in MIT?</p>
<p>MIT will accept your January 2009 SAT scores for Fall 2009 admissions, but none later.</p>
<p>You're fine.</p>
<p>If you want the January scores to be considered for this cycle's admissions, though, you need to send a note to MIT informing them that you will be taking the January 2009 SAT. Then they will look for your scores.</p>
<p>The regular decision deadline for admission in fall 2009 is January 1. This is the only remaining deadline this year for freshman admission during the 2009-2010 school year; MIT doesn't admit freshmen to start in the spring.</p>
<p>Our High school is a purely Science/Math focused school where we can only pursue pure sciences plus English and Our Native Language.
MIT requires us to submit one evaluation by Humanities Teacher. We do not have a Humanities teacher on our High school.Actually we are not required to take Humanities(atleast for 11th and 12th grade). So what should we do about that??</p>
<p>Note:We have a national exam after the tenth grade and then we join this High school for 11th and 12th grade only.</p>
<p>humanities or language teacher, so you can get it done by the english teacher</p>
<p>Hi. I'm a high school student from Canada, and I am currently applying for MIT RD...I have a question regarding the scholastic distinctions section. I wished I could be part of the national honor society (especially in math:) if I were in U.S. but there wasn't any such things in Canada. However I did score well on many math/science competitions and won awards for those. Do I write these onto the scholastic distinctions list?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Oh yes, for sure.</p>
<p>A student gives three subject tests originally, of which he retakes two. Now, before the scores of the two retakes come out, the student puts in his application the best two scores from his previous testing. After the new scores come out, the student realizes that the combination of best scores have changed. He gets all flustered but does send ALL the scores to MIT from Collegeboard. What will MIT do? </p>
