<p>About interviews: what happens if I move to a different country from the one in which my high school is located? Will I still be able to get an interview?
I’m trying to get an interview sorted but the interviewer is very slow to respond so I was wondering what would happen if I didn’t get interviewed in time.</p>
<p>
This question isn’t really possible to answer.</p>
<p>
You can certainly list those activities in the summer activity section, or you could leave it blank. It’s up to you.</p>
<p>
Even in the US, it’s not unusual for high school students to have never held a job. If you’ve never been employed, just leave the section blank. It’s not a problem.</p>
<p>
The readers will look at your website to the degree that each of them is personally able. For that matter, not all of the readers are reading from campus, and you shouldn’t assume that only hits from MIT IP addresses represent MIT readers.</p>
<p>
If you want to be assigned an EC in the other country, you should contact the EC office soon to be reassigned.</p>
<p>Will MIT acknowledge receipt of an emailed arts supplement?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Thank you so much Mollie for the quick reply.</p>
<p>I hope you can answer one last question:</p>
<p>A friend of mine was force to voluntarily leave school for quite awhile due to family reasons. When she came back, she tried really hard and finally graduated with just an acceptable grade (1 A* and 3 A) for her A levels. The school understands her situation so they allowed it. However because of these types of problems, her 3 years in high school revolves only around nothing but facing them.</p>
<p>The question is,
Should she report this? Will MIT even consider her as an applicant and how will they consider her case? She even couldn’t afford to join most school activities, not to mention won get the chance to win award (but she’s really passionate for science and studies and achieve a lot I think given her background), should she bother to apply?</p>
<p>Thank you again in advance.</p>
<p>About tests for international students.</p>
<p>Do you use SAT Reasoning for language evaluation? That is, if my CR score is relatively high (730) and math is low (670), am I better off aplying using my TOEFL score (102, retaking in December).</p>
<p>Also, I took Math II some time ago and am not satisfied with it. I only have time this upcoming January to dedicate to some studies. Will the January score be taken into consideration?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>"Will MIT acknowledge receipt of an emailed arts supplement?</p>
<p>Thanks."</p>
<p>Yes, they will.</p>
<p>-sorry I forgot to hit quote.</p>
<p>I applied MIT for EA. I recently won a award. Should I update this via fax or <a href=“mailto:admissions@mit.edu”>admissions@mit.edu</a>? Is it too late to update for EA?</p>
<p>Hiya there,</p>
<p>During the early application applying season, I thought it would be too much to include my Common App essay but I recently looked at it again and noticed how much of an insight it gives in to me and my experiences. Understanding that some readers may have already read my application, is it too late to submit a supplementary document hoping that another reader may see my application just in time with the supplemental essay?</p>
<p>And similar to the post above, if it is okay to send, can I email the document or must I fax?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>It’s not too late to update for EA, but it’s getting close (I would say any time after December 1 is probably too late). Fax is the preferred modality for updates.</p>
<p>
If you submit more than one score, MIT will use the one that makes you look best. Your TOEFL score is totally fine (it’s above MIT’s minimum), so there’s no need to re-take. </p>
<p>
Yes, January scores will be considered for RD.</p>
<p>
I find it impossible to judge whether any given person should bother to apply. After all, with such a low international admit rate, 95%+ of international students who apply will not be admitted. Maybe then nobody should bother to apply.</p>
<p>MIT will consider anybody as an applicant who completes the application requirements. And they are strongly committed to understanding an applicant’s background and context, and to interpreting the applicant’s achievements in light of available opportunities. Of course, admission is incredibly competitive, even more so for international applicants than for domestic applicants.</p>
<p>I sure your right, competition is tough, even for those seemingly much more “qualified”. So i guess point is, she should give it a try… But then, I’m sure given her situation, she’ll need to consider whether that try is worth 50+$…</p>
<p>Regardless, your response is great. Thank you so much.</p>
<p>I applied EA, and I also emailed in an arts supplement. I noticed that we were supposed to get some kind of confirmation; should I just resend it? Or wait for an email or something?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey, I have some questions. I graduated from high school in 2010 and I am an international applicant. Do I have to submit a mid year report? I also have a problem with my name on my SAT score report. Who do I contact at MIT to get this sorted out?</p>
<p>I aware that MIT is very diverse. Are there any steel drum bands there?</p>
<p>Smiley :)</p>
<p>I know that I can’t change anything, but what happens if the EC report and the teacher evaluations present opposing views of me?</p>
<p>The teacher evaluations are going to be weighed more heavily, as these are teachers/ people who know you and have known you for a period of time. It’s like your grades are going to be weighed more heavily than your one time standardized testing score. Your interview was a one time thing with a stranger. The interview is important (like your standardized testing scores), but it’s the ongoing relationships / record that show more of who you are. IMO.</p>
<p>A few questions: (well, more like a short essay)</p>
<p>I took the SAT I quite hastily, and didn’t have much if any time to revise for it due to pressing coursework deadlines (<3 IB). As such, my scores weren’t that great, 710 reading, 680 math, and 620 writing (!!!). While I’m somewhat satisfied (if not overly pleased) with my reading score, the math is definitely not representative of my ability, and the writing especially so. Would you advise I retake the SAT in January? (as December is now too late). Bearing in mind that I took the SAT math II and got a 750, and also that I’m predicted a 6 in IB English (SL). Would it have that detrimental an impact on my application, or would those other factors negate the less than satisfactory scores?</p>
<p>It would definitely be to your advantage to retake the SAT and perform better on it. Have you taken a science SAT 2? That is also needed for MIT. MIT does not evaluate your writing score… but they DO see it.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I figured as much. But yes, I did take a science, physics; I did satisfactorily (700), but not as worried about that as I’m looking at a 7 in HL physics.</p>
<p>Hey, anybody know around when MIT is expected to release the early action decision date? Is it usually Dec 1 most years?</p>
<p>It’s generally mid-December.</p>
<p>Questions directed to MITChris and mcgmit:</p>
<p>how many indians(as in those who live in india) are admitted to MIT for undergraduate each year? and what is their average scores and ECs? </p>
<p>anyway ive known only one indian doing ug in MIT and she is here in CC. id like to know more about my chances in MIT from the pro preople directly.</p>
