<p>Would contacting MIT music people (wind ensemble director, etc.) be advisable? (Athletes contact coaches, so I thought this might be appropriate…)</p>
<p>
I have not heard that it is, so I would assume it’s still not considered.</p>
<p>
It’s up to your best judgment. I would agree with you that a multi-state competition would probably be fair to call “national”, and a mostly-in-state competition would probably be “state”. But whatever you decide to choose, just choose it consistently across your distinctions.</p>
<p>
Not bad at all – this is something people frequently do. You get to choose your top five activities, and you can lump and split as you choose.</p>
<p>
Personally, I’d advise listing them separately (in the “anything else” box), because the self-reported coursework form is just to help the admissions officers interpret your transcript – listing courses that aren’t on your transcript might be somewhat confusing.</p>
<p>
Those are both social sciences.</p>
<p>
It’s okay to list them under both sections, but you don’t have to. Whatever you want to do will be fine.</p>
<p>
The appropriate way to contact the MIT music staff is by submitting a music supplement – the staff will evaluate your performance and pass their recommendation on to the admissions office.</p>
<p>Can I ask MIT Transfer application related questions here too?</p>
<p>Should I be sending the SAT scores that I already have to MIT like… right now? Also, I’m taking tests on both October 6th and November 3rd. How do I make sure that MIT receives both of these score sets in time for review?</p>
<p>
I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to answer them – I am considerably less familiar with the transfer admission process. You’re welcome to ask here, but you might get more visibility with your own thread.</p>
<p>
You can certainly send your scores now, but if you’re sending new scores later, you could just have them reported all together. You don’t need to do anything special to have your October and November scores reported in time – just designate MIT as a score recipient when you take the test.</p>
<p>Well it’s more a general question. The Transfer application is released in PDF Format and so I was wondering whether I should handwrite the application and type the essays or type both the application somehow and the essays? The application is in the PDF format so I’m not really sure on how to write on that.</p>
<p>And what are the major components that the admissions committee look at on the transfer applications?</p>
<p>Pretty much complete with application. Stuck on part one short answer - Tell us about your cultural background and identity. Is this short answer optional? Any ideas? I’ve stared at it for hours and I got nothing!</p>
<p>How do we mark the courses that we are taking our senior year? I don’t think that they are on my transcript and it sounds like the self reported course work is only for items that appear on your transcript.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If I’ve taken classes at my local community college via dual-enrollment, do I need to send a transcript from the college to MIT? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>
Whatever works for you. I would imagine that most people type them (e.g. with Adobe Acrobat Professional), but there’s no problem with hand-writing.</p>
<p>
Among other things, your grades in college courses, the coursework you’ve undertaken so far in college, your letters of recommendation, your essays, your test scores.</p>
<p>
Yes, it’s optional.</p>
<p>
I don’t have access to the application, so I’m not sure. Overall, you can use your own best judgment – there’s not really a wrong way to fill out the self-reported coursework as long as you’re consistent and truthful. </p>
<p>It is my understanding that you should put courses you’re taking as a senior into the self-reported coursework form, but it’s also typical for those courses to show up on your transcript as “in progress”. </p>
<p>
If they show up on your high school transcript, no need. If not, you might consider sending it.</p>
<p>How close is the MIT Net Price Calculator results on the CollegeBoard website versus the actual financial aid application process using the CSS Profile? I found that there were supplemental questions that are also required by MIT on the CSS Profile. I’m basically trying to find out what amount of aid I might end up with based on my parents’ financial position. </p>
<p>I would expect maybe a 10% variance in either direction. Anything beyond that, it would seem that the NPC is not that accurate. Any assistance would be appreciated.</p>
<p>The instructions for my GC say she’s supposed to send my SAT scores along with everything else, but I Dylan need to take my SAT IIs and I plan to designate MIT to receive the scored then. Should she still send in my scores that she has?</p>
<p>I remember reading a post some time ago that if you apply ED to one school, you can still apply to MIT EA since MIT is not single-choice, is that true?</p>
<p>Edit: just looked back at my post and realized spellcheck messed my question up. Basically, can I send my SAT scores via collegeboard after I take my Nov test, or does my guidance counselor need to send in the scores that I’ve received so far in addition to me sending the scores via the Nov test date?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>
I don’t have any information to suggest that it’s generally inaccurate, but the final amount of aid you are awarded will depend on questions more in-depth than you’ll find on an online calculator. </p>
<p>
The latter. Your GC should send the scores you have so far (unofficially), and if your November scores are better, MIT will use those once they arrive. If you’re taking November tests for EA, you should remember to designate MIT as a score recipient prior to taking the test.</p>
<p>
You can apply early to MIT and other schools as long as that’s allowed by other schools’ policies. If the ED school permits simultaneous early applications, MIT is perfectly happy that you apply there EA.</p>
<p>The MIT blog post announcing the launch of MyMIT also said that a silver MIT application guide booklet would come in the mail sometime in September. Has anyone else not gotten there’s yet?</p>
<p>i got the packet. the booklet itself isnt silver it comes in a silver package. its very nicely designed :P</p>
<p>My family recently renewed our green cards and basically we don’t have green cards now. I do have couple documents and a stamp on my passport that serves as a temporary green card i guess…
should i call them? and which number should I call…</p>
<p>Hi Mollie! I have a couple of questions:
- I’m currently in 11th grade and so, can I take the SATs now(in January 2013 since I don’t live in the US)?
- If I do write the test in 2013, when will I step into college IF (unerline the big ‘if’!) I get into MIT?
I really have no idea about SATs or anything and I just want to be sure of when I’m supposed to be taking them. I just want to be well prepared for it! Oh and one more question: - If I should be writing the test soon, I have to apply right now so that my application is in before January (1st, I believe). So I registered with MyMIT and I have to idea where to start doing the application because I don’t see a link or anything like that. Can you tell me where I can start working on my application?
I know I’m sort of counting my chickens before they hatch but I don’t want to be late!</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>I am applying through QuestBridge and will hopefully become a Finalist but I will not go further in the College Match process. If I apply EA to MIT, can I submit both my QuestBridge and MyMIT application?</p>
