<p>For international students, can TOEFL be sat in january, just like SATs?</p>
<p>Hi, I am an International student from Hong Kong.</p>
<p>I heard that most international students hold some sort of international award/recognition. Is that a requirement in the admission process or have international students in the past who have none won an international award also been accepted before?</p>
<p>Thanks, Aaron</p>
<p>Hi, I applied to MIT early action. I was wondering if there is a difference between writing “public relations officer” and “reviver” of french club. I partook in the reviving efforts of the club by actively contacting the board of education and spreading awareness for the club. I wrote on my application the i was the “public relations officer”, but I guess “reviver” would be more accurate. Do I have to contact the MIT admissions officer? Thanks!!!</p>
<p>The New York Times article says that MIT only plans to admit 1130 freshmen for the class of 2016. That’s a huge drop from last year!
Mollie, Chris can either of you verify if this is true?</p>
<p>The New York Times article says that the freshman class size anticipated for Fall 2012 is 1130 although around 1700 were accepted for 2011 fall. Yield rate is around 60%</p>
<p>are you sure it would be that low?</p>
<p>expected admitted % yield Applied EA/ED applied
1,072 1,611 67 16,632 590 5,684 2014
1,072 1,715 63 17,909 772 6,500 2015</p>
<p>rosewood is correct – 1130 is the anticipated class size, not the number who will be admitted. 1130 is actually somewhat larger than the class size has typically been, because MIT has a new dorm and has expanded the number of undergraduates in response.</p>
<p>
Yes.</p>

International awards are not a requirement for admission (for either domestic or international students), and many international students have been admitted in the past without international-level recognition. Still, there is a quota set by the higher levels of the MTI administration on international student admits, so there are very few seats for international students. Most international students admitted to MIT are very highly distinguished.</p>
<p>For the essay asking which department or program appeals to me at MIT and why, am I suppose to respond with my intended major department or can I talk about UROP or D-lab? The opening sentence talking about our projected major makes me hesitant to talk about UROP and D-lab.</p>
<p>Ender, they probably aren’t going to hold it against you if you include those interests. Nothing you write in there is going to be set in stone, they just use it to get an idea of what your current interests are.</p>
<p>I emailed my EC two weeks ago with no response. So i tried calling today and it said that the number had been disconnected? What should I do?</p>
<p>contact MIT admissions and tell them. they’ll most likely reassign you.</p>

<p>Contact the Educational Council office on <a href=“mailto:interview@mit.edu”>interview@mit.edu</a>. They will fix it.</p>
<p>I have just received my November SAT scores and sent it to MIT via regular shipping.</p>
<p>Will MIT receive the scores in time prior to making selections? If not, should I resend the scores via rush shipping?</p>
<p>Ah, screw it. I just expedited it. >:</p>
<p>I had a rough junior year. Previously, I had mostly As and a B+ or two each year but junior year I got mostly Bs and then a D in a math class (linear algebra) through a combination of family issues making it hard for me to work and me overestimating my abilities. This semester I am on track to get all As. How much will this temporary drop in grades hurt me in the admissions process considering I am bouncing back? Thank you.</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>This question has probably been asked but I just hope to get a clarification:</p>
<p>About the summer activity section, if I happen to spend all my summers travelling with my family, hanging out with my friends, or just completing family obligations, how can I write about these things, should I even list them and if yes, should I separate it? What if this is what I do for all the summer every year, how do I list the “Approximate Dates of Participation” & “Approximate Hours per week (if applicable)” etc.</p>
<p>Finally, given that from my region (not in the USA), it’s extremely hard to find any paid jobs (unless it’s unsafe construction works or unregistered “street jobs” etc), and so I didn’t get one. How will this affect my application? Should I explain it? Any suggestion.</p>
<p>Thank you so much in advance and sorry for asking so much.</p>
<p>I was just wondering how much reviewers look at our websites? I ask because I have had one hit from MIT and they didn’t look at anything on my page except for the landing page. I’m just a little concerned because I spent as much time on the website as I did on my application.</p>
