Hi CC,
I recently submitted my MIT EA App and am feeling quite good about my stat, ECs, essays and all, but I was shocked to find that I had made a few errors/typos throughout my responses. None of these were in any of the main essays, though but here they are:
- In the optional question on your cultural background, I wrote “Living in ____, can only be described as being the epitome of” with an obvious comma-splicing error
- In the Maker Portfolio section, I wrote “the whole experience taught me a great amount but programming through adversity” where ‘but’ should be ‘about’
- I also forget an ‘it’ in the Maker Portfolio
Not sure if these errors are worth e-mailing admission at MIT over, but I would greatly appreciate any advice on whether or not I should or if it would affect my chances given that I am an international.
On a separate note, in a question asking about specialized courses you’ve taken (IB, AP, etc.) I wrote my IB subjects in the form “Biology HL”. Would this be clear to the reader to be an IB Higher Level subject or should I clarify this too in an e-mail (possibly the same as above)?
Thank you!
