<p>1) Select the most correct one. It may confuse the person reading your application. I don’t know if they would discredit you for this.</p>
<p>2) EC doesn’t get your application and they don’t need it AFAIK. They can only see if you have submitted your Part1 or not but they can’t see what is inside. The EC gets your and your school’s name, however I don’t know what else they get, but definitly not the whole application.</p>
<p>
You can use any contact information provided to you in MyMIT. </p>
<p>
I believe they are given a list of students in their area who were admitted, but I could be wrong. A thank you is not expected, although it wouldn’t be bizarre or anything, either.</p>
<p>
Nobody knows yet, and nobody will know until early December. MIT will announce the date for decisions as soon as they are able to set it – they need to get through enough of selection committee to be sure that all the decisions will be finalized by whichever date they pick.</p>
<p>
Just pick the one that’s true. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve scheduled your interview at the time of submission (as long as you contact your EC by the scheduling deadline). </p>
<p>The EC does not get a copy of your application, and you should not bring one. The interview is not about recapitulating your application, but about exploring parts of your life that may or may not have been fully addressed in the application.</p>
<p>Should letters of recommendation sent in late October be processed by now? My secondary school report was processed on October 27, but Evaluation A and B still appear as not processed.</p>
<p>Not necessarily – there’s a huge amount of mail to sort through at MIT right now, and it’s not unusual for pieces to take quite some time to be sorted.</p>
<p>When all the mail has been sorted, the admissions officers will generally post a blog entry letting everyone know.</p>
<p>My secondary school report has been processed according to the “application forms” section, but no checkmark is on the main page. What does this mean?</p>
<p>Thank you Mollie! :)</p>
<p>My counselor wants to know how the admission officers will identify the transcript and the letters. Does she need to write the name and MIT ID on the documents?
She will be faxing them, by the way</p>
<p>crossbonesstyle - MIT has specific forms your counselor needs to file that you need to download after logging into your account. The same applies to your recommendations. When you download, your ID, name and birthday are populated on the cover sheets.</p>
<p>@texaspg - yeah I know that, I gave her the form already. What she wants to know is how MIT will identify the supplements (which she is supposed to attach, like abitur/cbse results, her letter of recommendation).</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>My counselor mailed my transcript, secondary school report, and both recommendations (all in one package) on October 28, but both recommendations and the secondary school report still are shown as “Not Processed” and do not have checkmarks next to them. Is there some way to know if they have been received (they may have been lost in the mail), or should I contact the Admissions office?</p>
<p>I know that there have been a number of questions similar to mine, but I’m starting to get a bit worried now. -___-"</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@crossbonesstyle, when they all are faxed together with the form, they will be processed correctly.
I have no idea how MIT Admissions does it but based on reasoning and my general knowledge on communication technologies tell me that as soon as the computer identifies the first page(the one with your Record ID), it automaticly folders everything else sent in with that fax transmission together. AFAIK, when you fax, they don’t get a printout and get mixed with all other faxes, instead it is electronicly saved.
Probably the computer doesn’t automaticly recognize and record Abitur and such scores(that would be hell of recognition software, but you never know :D) but when the Admission officers pull the evaluation from system, they all(the form, the letter, the supplements) come together.</p>
<p>From what Mollie mentioned, each fax gets saved as a file by itself.</p>
<p>So, how many EA apps have been submitted so far?</p>
<p>^ all of them :-)</p>
<p>@ Chris or Mollie: Do you think MIT will look down at applicant graduating early from high school?</p>
<p>^ Nope, they won’t. Why would they?</p>
<p>
This is also just speculation, though – I don’t know how the system works, and I think Phoestre’s hypothesis is reasonable.</p>
<p>Personally, I’d put name/number/birthdate on all pages of all forms, but I have a deep-seated distrust of fax machines because my lab’s fax is somewhat, shall we say, high-spirited.</p>
<p>
No, don’t worry. There’s a ton of mail at MIT (and “ton” is probably a significant underestimate), so it takes the mail room staff quite a bit of time to process all the documents. </p>
<p>Look for a blog entry that states they’re through all the mail. If your documents haven’t shown up at that time, there will be instructions for you to re-submit them. But in all likelihood, your stuff is sitting in a pile at MIT, waiting patiently to be put in your application folder.</p>
<p>@Mollie or @Chris</p>
<p>I’m a junior in high school and MIT is my first choice college that I would like to attend. I want to major in comp sci, and my academics and extracurriculars are on par with what one would expect from an MIT applicant. I haven’t had the opportunity to participate in any math or science competitions in high school, and this worries me.</p>
<p>With that being said, I have written and published an app on the Android Market with just over 1,000 downloads. Is this seen as something comparable to competing/winning a science or math competition? Would this be something that MIT would look at as being “special” or something that differentiates me from an applicant that is competing with me for a spot at MIT?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
