<p>Where do I put my self studied subjects and courses I plan to start taking in the second semester??</p>
<p>How much should my essays be about math/science?</p>
<p>How much does being racially chinese and ethnicity malaysian qualify me as URM?</p>
<p>When do I find out if I get accepted?</p>
<p>I don’t think being Chinese/Malaysian/any other Asian ethnicity will get you any consideration as a URM student</p>
<p>I’m a proud member of the MITES class of 2008 and I’m delighted that you’re considering MITES. It’s an amazing program and believe me when i say this “six weeks at MIT can change you life”!
Now on to your questions. The essays are extremely important, it brings out you. Write about your passions and interests and don’t fall into the trap of writing about something simply because you think the admissions officers want to see it.<br>
Don’t worry about minority status, because the term “minority” doesn’t just apply to race (e.g. economically minority). Apply to MITES because you want to, not because of minority status.<br>
I don’t remember the exact month, but the results usually come out during fall. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you and to the future MITES class of 2009!</p>
