MIT International Interview: Is the Mid Year Report the right way?

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>I tried contacting my EC and he even responded to my Email. But, he says that he is out of the country till March 20, 2010 and I can contact him again when he comes back to the country.</p>

<p>Would it now be a good idea to explain my personal circumstances for not having an interview in the MIT Mid Year Report? Do I mention the fact that I tried contacting my EC but he is out of the country?</p>

<p>Any help would be deeply appreciated!</p>
