<p>have any of you that applied this year been to MIT? how did you like it if you did.</p>

62

<p>nope never been there. Heard it has a cool campus with a lot of gadgets. I think theres a river between campus and downtown</p>

63

<p>Does anyone know why MITES asks for your picture?</p>

64

<p>i do...then again i was there so i won't say anything lol</p>

65

<p>^
Please tell me what it's used for! The picture I sent wasn't my good side...</p>

66

<p>i dunno, I dressed up for it. But probably just to see how you look and maybe get an impression of you?</p>

67

<p>I sent in a school picture :o. I thought they said it was for a yearbook, but maybe that's a different program.</p>

68

<p>it said on the application that the picture was for the program book,</p>

69

<p>really? maybe wearing a tux wasn't the best idea for the pic...</p>

70

<p>lol...for the accepted students, in one of the packages you get, they send out this booklet with everyones name, email, and hometown just in case people want to carpool. Along with that they send out this picture booklet with a picture of everyone who will be attending. And thats what the picture is used for.</p>

71

<p>ha ha i took my picture with my cheer outfit, cuz it was a game day and i didn't have too much time to change that day.. lol</p>

72

<p>^^ don't worry...mine was in my soccer uniform...some people had on marching band equipment...and others sent in more formal pictures with suits and thing lol</p>

73

<p>You'd think they would EXPLICITLY tell you what the pictures are intended for, but nooo</p>

<p>meh I guess it's more fun this way</p>

74

<p>woah. we find out in like a month if we got in or not. It seems really soon but also so far...</p>

75

<p>a month...before or after spring break?
i really hope all you guys here make it in(myself as well). It'd be really fun hanging out.</p>

76

<p>It is directly stated somewhere in the App document or the site.</p>

77

<p>I think they say the picture would be used in the program book, but how are we supposed to know what that is?</p>

78

<p>Going by last year, kids found out on March 27th. I hope everyone makes it it too! You all seem so nice and smart.</p>
