<p>Alright, so I want to major in physics, but I'd also like to minor or simply explore religion as well. I'm mentioning that in the "Which world you come from" essay, but since MIT doesn't offer a religion course, I was thinking I shouldn't mention the religion part at all...I fear MIT adcoms would think I'm not a fit, and I don't want them thinking that at all.</p>
<p>But religious stuff is an important part of me...</p>
<p>Could I perhaps mention that I'm interested in religious studies through the Harvard-MIT cross study program (is there an official word for that?)?</p>
<p>QuantumArbiter, the only advice I can give you is to be yourself. Write what you like and dislike, and what you want to do, and do it honestly. The admissions officers will admit you if you’re a good fit, but if they admit you on false information, then you’re going to be miserable.</p>
<p>Seriously, get off CC, stop worrying, and be yourself. It really will all turn out OK.</p>
<p>But, to be somewhat specifically helpful, it’s called cross-registering at Harvard. You can also cross-register at Mass Art and some other colleges, I think. While MIT doesn’t have specific religion courses, they probably have something that will interest you in the philosophy department, however.</p>
<p>plenty of students are involved in religion and they have a number of religious student groups, so i’m sure they’ll have nothing against your studying interests!!! + they have the cutest little chapel for all sorts of services(i go to mass there every so often)^^</p>
<p>You’ll be able to cross-register at Harvard in religion classes, to my knowledge. I’m not sure if you’ll officially be able to be awarded a minor in it - but that shouldn’t be a major worry.</p>
