<p>Hi, I have a question about submitting the mid-year report updates. Do we have to write the updates in an essay format or can we just straight out make a list of the updates like this?:</p>
<p>-Update 1
-Update 2
-Update 3</p>
<p>Is one format preferred over the other?</p>

I emailed my musical supplements…</p>
<p>Mollie/Chris, do we get confirms on snail mail supplements?</p>
<p>Hi
If an applicant is applying to MIT second time, will admission office see his or her previous your application and recommendation letters while their review?</p>
<p>Hi! Just a quick question - what if we don’t really have any significant updates to add to our applications? I’m actually confused about what people do add here. I faxed a detailed two page resume to the MIT Admissions Office last month and also some more information on research that I had undertaken. I basically tried to cover everything possible through the application and by faxing the material, so I don’t have any significant updates at this point, especially since I am an IB student and the focus at my school is now on preparing for our final exams.</p>
<p>So I’m kind of wondering how to tackle the Midyear Updates section. Also, since there’s no guarantee that they receive faxed materials, I just wanted to make sure that they DO read all of it, right? Because if not, I could probably try to include those details in my Midyear Updates section.</p>
<p>Thanks sooooooo much! 
I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Is the IDOC stuff due by February 15th?</p>
<p>If so, will it be okay if I postmarked my IDOC stuff to college board on February 15th? My parents have yet to file their taxes so whatever happens, it’ll be really last minute.</p>
<p>
There’s no preferred format. Whatever works for you is fine.</p>
<p>
I wasn’t aware there were confirmations for any sort of supplement, regardless of its method of submission.</p>
<p>
The previous application still exists, but IIRC I have been told that it’s not usually consulted.</p>
<p>
Then there’s no need to update them on anything, no worries.</p>
<p>
I’m not sure whether February 15 is the postmark due date or the receipt due date (though I would assume it’s the postmark date). </p>
<p>Either way, you can absolutely submit financial aid documents after February 15 – it’s just that if you submit them late, the financial aid office can’t guarantee that they’ll have an aid package ready for you in mid-March/early April as they will have for admitted students who submitted aid applications on time. It won’t affect your eligibility for aid to submit documents late, just your probability of having an aid package on time.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your answer molliebatmit! I have another question! I already sent in my mid-year report but I recently got some new awards. Is there a way I can send in that update even though I’ve sent in my mid-year report already?</p>
<p>Can I scan the employees certificate of my dad’s company to the financial aid office or I should have to fax it?</p>
<p>My financial aid tracking is not shown in the my MIT account. Any one with same problem?</p>
<p>@imtitanium -
Same for me. I’m assuming it’ll take a while for everyone’s to appear?</p>
<p>When I called the FA office today they said that admissions got a little excited about posting that and that most likely the tracking will be up by Monday.</p>
<p>Is there any place where I can get specific instructions on how to go about the Financial aid?</p>
<p>Go to the financial aid site of MIT. Read your emails from MIT with instructions. Don’t wait until now to get started :-)</p>
<p>Have you guys started committee yet? Just wondering :)</p>
<p>I did not get any e-mail from MIT regarding Financial Aid.</p>
<p>My man concern is that the CSS profile asks me to provide income tax return info from the 2 tax year’s which end before 1 April 2012. The current tax year ends on 31st March, but how can I provide that info before Feb 15?</p>
<p>Also, what mode of communication should be used to send the documents to MIT SFS office? Would e-mail work or should I use fax?</p>
<p>As an international applicant I am required to send translated financial aid documents.
Are they supposed to be officially translated or can I just translate them myself, and if the latter, in what manner or form? Thank you for your time.</p>
<p>Now this might be slightly out of topic, but is there any way that an international student can get his full fee waived for MIT?</p>
<p>@Dialga,</p>
<p>If you’ve applied for financial aid, it is possible. Your citizenship status doesn’t have much to do with MIT SFS.</p>
<p>If your family makes less than 50k USD/yr and doesn’t have a high amount of cash or properties, a full financial aid is possible.</p>
<p>However note that: full financial aid means that you’ll still pay about 2-4k USD.
That is called student contribution.
They expect the student to get this money from available resources, outside scholarships, loans and/or employment.
That is same everywhere and getting upto 5000 wouldn’t be hard when working at campus.</p>
<p>Thank you Phoestre. :)</p>
