MITES 2012 Information and Discussion

<p>Does someone who got in last year want to read a rough draft of one of my essays and see if it is too casual or not? I don’t want to write them all this way and then have to start over. I don’t have much experience with writing this kind of essay.</p>

<p>@coffeeandtea- I’m a proud alum! Feel free to PM me :)</p>

<p>Hi I’m applying to MITES this year and I was wondering if any alumni would share what a typical day is like for a MITES attendee? Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi Guys/Girls(:
quick q: income forms…i thought i remembered something about having to send some…but am not sure?..do we?
thanks!</p>

<p>Submitted my app yesterday… and I’ve been badgering the MITES peoples about problems with my application. Hooray.</p>

<p>Hey guys, Im a little confused. Even though the website said the deadline is extended to Feb 10. But in the apply part the deadline doesnt change. So does the website.</p>

<p>So when is deadline for students to submit the application?
Can someone answer my question?</p>

<p>I too am confused about the deadline. I trust that they made necessary adjustments, but only that one notification says it’s 2/10 now.</p>

<p>I also have a more pressing issue: I do not have a paper report of my SATs (only PSAT), and so now I’m really worried about how I’m going to send my SAT scores to MITES. I read through this and last years’ threads, and honestly I haven’t gotten anything helpful. I don’t know how to send scores from collegeboard to their email, <a href=“mailto:mites@mit.edu”>mites@mit.edu</a> , and even if I could send them as if I were applying to MIT, I read that collegeboard takes about 4 weeks to send scores. Is there any way for me to send an official report of my SAT score to MITES before the deadline? Is a semi-official report good enough (i.e. my guidance counselor has access to my scores (which are automatically received from collegeboard, not inputted by me), which I assume she mentioned in her letter) and I should just scan/email the PSAT score?</p>

<p>I really hope the deadline has actually been changed, because 2/3 of my recommenders haven’t sent theirs yet because of the deadline change… also because I’m not done with my essays.</p>

<p>They say on their site that you can just send your scores in to the MITES office as soon as you get them, that’s what i’m doing. dont panic</p>

<p>@knitswim: Thank you so much! The schedule on the mites website was blanked out so it was nice to see a schedule. </p>

<p>The recommendation checklist for my counselor said for her to upload all of my score reports so that’s what she did. I didn’t send in my score reports or anything personally. I would ask your counselors to submit your score reports for ACT, PSAT, PLAN, etc.</p>

<p>Almost done with the app! definitely don’t think i’m qualified enough but oh well might as well try right?</p>

<p>Are we allowed to send them our January 28th SAT scores once they come out?</p>

<p>Yes we are.</p>

<p>Also, the box now says February 10th, so that should put some of your minds at ease.</p>

<p>do you think there’d be a way to access and edit one’s application after it was submitted? i rushed mine, so my teachers would have a nice, large window to upload their recommendations, but now i realized i made a bunch of dumb mistakes, and i think if i went through and revised my essays, it’d do a lot for my chances…</p>

<p>How do I send my ACT scores? I don’t have a paper report… Only online.</p>

<p>@LesleyCordero Send your ACT as if you were sending it to MIT as your college through the online webpage!</p>

<p>@shostakovich95 Oh really? Lol, alright, thanks! :)</p>

<p>How should I send in my transcript? Should I scan it… Or should I have the school mail it directly to MIT? If so, what address?</p>

<p>My counselor does not process PSAT, etc. score reports. Is there something special I have to do?</p>
