<p>ohhh icic thnx helped me alot haha
another question (sry)
if you’re deffered to regular admission from EA, then do they look at ur app equally as others’ who did just RA?
thank you so much, i love this site and ppl here lol</p>
<p>Yup, if you get deferred to RA then they look at your app just like you had applied RA (I mean I don’t think they reread the whole application, but when they go to committee its all the same).</p>

Oh, no, they really re-read the whole thing. They’ll also read any extra information you choose to send between November and January – sometimes people will send a note updating their applications with any new awards or happenings in their lives, or a new essay, or an extra recommendation.</p>
<p>
To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth playing guessing games. The application will come out in plenty of time for EA applicants to complete it.</p>
<p>When you’re deferred EA, you get an extra few months to think about what would have made your application stronger, and then send those materials.</p>
<p>I noticed that in this blog it says that all applicants need to complete either: </p>
<p>(SAT I OR ACT) AND (3 SAT IIs: 1 math, 1 science, and 1 writing/literature/history)
OR
(TOEFL) AND (2 SAT IIs: 1 math and 1 science)</p>
<p>Is that a typo for the first option, since it says on other parts of the MIT website that we only need 2 SAT IIs, one in math and one science?</p>

<p>That blog article is from 2005, so I think it might have changed since then.</p>
<p>Yes, that entry was written prior to the inclusion of writing into the SAT I. </p>
<p>The current requirement is to take either the SAT I, the ACT, or the TOEFL, plus two SAT II subject tests, one math and one science.</p>

<p>What other schools superscore?</p>
<p>Ok, so since MIT FINALLY released their application, I have been working on filling it out. I have not ever held a job, and I am worried they will look at that badly. However, I have a very good reason ( I held a job for week during which I was repeatedly sexually harassed, and charges have been pressed, after this incident my family would not allow me to get another job in high school). Should I say this in the section for extra information, or will it make it worse because I will be making excuses?</p>
<p>It won’t be a problem that you don’t have a job. I don’t think there’s any need to explain why you didn’t have one.</p>
<p>Do my teachers and guidance counselor need to physically mail the evaluation forms to MIT? If so, what address should I write on the envelopes?</p>
<p>will it look bad to the admissions board if we do not visit MIT before applying? i heard that they like it when people visit because it shows interest, but my family cannot afford a plane ticket. also, is it very detrimental to my application if i have not won any major math or science awards. i have only placed in some national competitions against other Muslim high school students and some simple science awards at my school. thanks!</p>
<p>I doubt they would reject you just because you haven’t visited. I would guess that many of the accepted students never visited MIT before they were accepted.</p>
<p>
Someone will need to mail the forms, whether it’s you or them.</p>
<p>The address is
MIT Office of Undergraduate Admissions
77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 3-108
Cambridge, MA 02139</p>
<p>
No, MIT does not consider whether or not you’ve visited – they do not track or consider interest.</p>
<p>
Most people who are admitted have not won major math or science awards. Just list the awards you do have.</p>
<p>On MIT’s application, it asks for the high schools that I’ve went to.</p>
<p>The high school I go to only has gr 10 - 12, so should I just have that and leave out the entire grade 9 section? If not, what should I do? I cannot find my gr 9 school on their application…</p>
<p>Also, can someone give me MIT’s Undergrad Admission Contact information, especially phone number (I somehow can’t find it)? I want to know this just in case because I might want to ask them some other questions</p>
<p>Contact information is at the bottom of the MIT admissions homepage.</p>
<p>If you cannot find your 9th grade school, you can always write your 10th-12th grade information on the application, then send your 9th grade information on paper as supplemental material. Perhaps someone else has a better idea.</p>
<p>Just checking a few things for the self-reported coursework section.
- The section labeled social science is for history classes right?
- The section at the bottom with check boxes for whether or not you took calculus, chemistry, etc. asks for years. At my high school all of these subjects have two years worth of classes associated with them. Should I report the first year I took the class, or the later?</p>
<p>Sorry for the double post, I couldn’t find the edit button.
How should I fill out the siblings section? For example one of my sisters double majored, meaning two degrees. There is no way I can abbreviate this to fit in 10 characters while still saying in what she majored (BSc and BA is the best I came up with). Also, if my siblings have graduate degrees should I use two lines, or just ignore those degrees?</p>
<p>Hello
I was just wondering if I moved into the U.S. and lived here for 9 yrs with only E2 Visa under my parents’ business, and I have tax number but no social security number and no greencard,
would i still be able to apply EA for MIT or not since im actually considered as International Student, even though i’ve lived here for 9 yrs? thnx</p>

<li>The section labeled social science is for history classes right?</li>
</ol>
<p>~ Yeah, it’s for history classes.</p>
<ol>
<li>The section at the bottom with check boxes for whether or not you took calculus, chemistry, etc. asks for years. At my high school all of these subjects have two years worth of classes associated with them. Should I report the first year I took the class, or the later?</li>
</ol>
<p>~ I think when I did it, I put the later year and then made a note about it somewhere in the application. It shouldn’t matter a whole lot, since you’ll be submitting your transcript too.</p>
<p>
Yes.</p>
<p>
I don’t have the application in front of me, so I don’t know if you can possibly list two years. If not, then just pick one year or the other – they’ll see your transcript, so they’ll know which classes you actually took.</p>
<p>
I would just write the fields in which she majored, not the names of both degrees. It’s not really relevant that she got two separate degrees for this question.</p>
<p>
The question asks for college (undergraduate) degrees only, so you can ignore the graduate degrees.</p>
<p>
If you’re considered an international student (which is based on citizenship, not country of residence), you cannot apply EA.</p>
