<p>My answer to qestion 13 was an essay about a NASA contest project, and in q 14 i told them that if they wanted to see the actual project ( which is >100 pages document, 6MB) they should email me and I would send it.
Is there any other way of sending them the project? the answer space in q13 didnt even come close to what i needed to describe it, thus making sure they see the project is really important.</p>
<p>My experience has been that they will, in fact, contact an applicant or reference writer if they desire more information. I wouldn't send a 6MB document unrequested, it won't be fully read and absorbed and might annoy the readers who have thousands of applications to summarize. You summarized, which is the right approach: they don't want to evaluate the details of the project you worked on, but rather why you worked on it, what you learned from it, how you communicate its importance for you to others.... in short, the sorts of things you likely said in your essay.</p>
<p>Would it be alright to send a picture of a piece of artwork?</p>
<p>yeah of course, but I think the admissions office prefers if you send it to the Jan Wampler for review:
(page 5 of application)
Students who are interested in architecture or
art are welcome to submit a portfolio containing
any art, photography, or architectural work
for evaluation by the architecture faculty.
Please send submissions to: Jan Wampler,
Director of Design - Undergraduate Program,
MIT Department of Architecture, 77
Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139.
For both music and art submissions, please
write "Undergraduate Application Materials"
on the envelope and include your full name
and date of birth on any materials you send.</p>

Art. If you are an artist and would like to participate in the arts community at MIT, you may send in a portfolio containing any art, photography, or architectural work for evaluation by the architecture faculty. The faculty requests that you submit only hard copy materials in a binder, and not electronic submissions. Slides will be evaluated by members of the MIT art & architecture faculty. Your artistic talents are something unique that you bring to this process and your talents can be considered with your other talents in your application. Send this via US Mail to Professor Jan Wampler, Director Of Design - Undergraduate Program, MIT Department of Architecture, 77 Mass. Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139. Be sure your full name and date of birth are included, and please write "undergraduate application materials" on the envelope. You do not need to be an art or media major for this to be considered (most people who submit the supplement are not), and there is no portfolio review to take art classes or be a part of the art program.
