MIT is EA? not Restrictive EA?

I find it quite annoying that MIT does not accept by school or major. It’s more difficult for people who have shown aggresive passion for one particular aspect of life or career.

You can indicate your passion on your application. You don’t apply to specific schools/major because most people end up changing their minds later on after they learn topics they’ve never been exposed to.
As as stated on the MIT application:

You won’t declare your major until the end of your freshman year–there’s a lot of time between now and then to explore, discover new things, change your mind.</p>

<p>For this reason, approximately half of our students ultimately major in something entirely different from what they wrote here when they applied
