<p>@mollie or anyone who can answer this</p>
<p>Though I fully understand MIT cannot guarantee athletes admission, I am wondering what a coach’s email meant. It said that the admissions director himself took a look at my application and said I was going to be a “very strong” applicant throughout the process. How should I interpret this message? Perhaps it means I won’t get rejected automatically. </p>
<p>Let me know if you need more info.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be flip, but means that the coach told you that Stu thought you were a strong applicant based on looking through your application. It’s certainly not a bad sign, but you shouldn’t take it as a guarantee or a suggestion of anything.</p>
<p>Does MIT superscore between the ACT and SAT?</p>
<p>My SAT is a lot stronger (2200 vs. 30) but I have a perfect math score on the ACT and only a 730 on the SAT. My SAT IIC more or less confirms the 36, as it’s a 770.</p>
<p>Normally, I wouldn’t send the ACT at all (with a 24 on reading due to completely incompetent proctors) because my 730 on CR is fairly good and I don’t want there to be any doubt regarding my verbal abilities. </p>
<p>However, I’m really interested in EECS and mathematical reasoning is an obvious requirement for that. Would you recommend I send the ACT along with my SAT. And if, as the admissions officer I spoke to said, MIT superscores between the two tests, what would my score look like?</p>
<p>Writing is not considered so that’s a superscore between a 730 and a 36… So a 1560?</p>
<p>@Mollie Ah ok. Got it. Thanks.</p>
<p>Hi… I submitted a supplemental url but it was wrong (off by a dash). However, I have now moved my site to the url that I submitted to MIT. Have the admissions counselors begun looking at urls yet, or are they still doing preliminary reviews of applications? Thanks ^^</p>
<p>never mind. :)</p>
<p>@saffysparkles: Do you know if MIT has seen your website already (using logs)?</p>
<p>localhost, I can tell you that MIT has not yet looked at my website (I’m using google tracking). However, this may be because my transcript and and rec letter have yet to arrive.</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I have a quick question. When you send in supplementary material/recs, where will you see whether MIT processed them or not? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Hi… I was wondering, as a reapplicant from last year, do I need to re-send my SAT scores this year? Also, when I was registering, I couldn’t get my last year’s MyMIT ID to work, so it’s not connected to my account - however I do know what ID I had - is there any way to remedy this?</p>
<p>I received an email that my application was incomplete and when I looked it was one of my teacher evaluations. At the end of October my teacher emailed me that he sent it out. Anyway he faxed it on Friday. Still no update on mymit for me yet others said they had the same problem, faxed it on Friday and got an update that their application was complete. MIT said to wait until Nov 26 to process everything but I am still really worried.</p>
<p>
I’m not sure. MIT does have a conversion chart for ACT scores, as I understand, so it’s possible that ACT scores are converted and ACT and SAT scores could be considered together.</p>
<p>
I would always recommend that, when in doubt, applicants should send all scores and allow MIT to choose the best ones. Sending all of your scores will never be held against you.</p>
<p>
Admissions officers are now reading completed applications, including any supplemental information.</p>
<p>
Tracking isn’t available for supplemental material. If you are worried, you can call the admissions office and see if your material has been received, but generally there isn’t a problem.</p>
<p>
My assumption would be that you don’t need to send your SAT scores again, but that’s probably only true if your application this year is connected to your application from last year. I’d email the admissions office, or (preferably) call, if you can get the time zones to work out properly (I know you’re in Europe).</p>
<p>
Really, just wait until November 26. The admissions office isn’t updating application folders over the weekend, so it’s almost certain that the letter was successfully faxed, but either wasn’t added to your folder by the end of the day, or else MyMIT wasn’t updated. There’s no reason to worry.</p>
<p>
Followed up on this and Matt replied that yes, they do, look at the best score across each test.</p>
<p>Makes me happy :-)</p>
<p>rapt555, my email said that the last day they are accepting materials is November 20th and it must be there by 5 PM so I would NOT wait til the 26th. I had my rec faxed on Friday I think and MyMIT is updated already so either call or just fax it again.</p>
<p>napalm2013, I already had it faxed over on Friday. I am hoping that I see an update on mymit
on Monday. I was hoping that it would update on Friday but see that it did not. I did not expect to see updates over the weekend.</p>
<p>Hello there, quick question
Does anyone know whether supplemental materials sent to MIT BEFORE sending in your application (such as teacher recommendations) will be kept by them and can be easily reconnected with your application once you send it in?
One of the teachers writing my recommendations is quite impatient to send the forms in before she loses them (you’d think a math teacher would be less prone to losing stuff!)
Thanks</p>
<p>
Yes, whatever materials arrive first will be used to start your application folder.</p>
<p>ZK…all my son’s stuff was sent before he applied. As soon as he hit submit on Part 1, a list popped up showing what had been received…test scores, transcript, and evaluations were all there. :)</p>
<p>While MIT publishes the interquartile range of ACT English, Math, and Writing scores, I’ve always wondered why MIT never publishes the interquartile of Reading and Science scores. Does MIT just not use these 2 scores in admissions?</p>
<p>
Thank you. I think I’ll e-mail them, though, as I despise doing phonecalls in English <em>blush</em> It’s nice to hear I’m remembered, though, ha ha.</p>
<p>I also have one other question, which isn’t really important, but I’m simply curious: why on the application if you check the option that your parents are “divorced”/“separated” you get the option to check which parent you live with, but you don’t have that option if you check “never married”?</p>
