<p>I just got the viewbook, and I really liked it! It had a very personal feel to it and talked about a lot of different aspects of MIT.</p>
<p>If you got the viewbook already, what did you think?</p>
<p>What? Where do you live? I’m in Oregon and I haven’t gotten it yet.</p>
<p>I’m in California…hmm. Well I’m sure you’ll get it soon!</p>
<p>I definitely got something from MIT, but I’m not sure if that’s the viewbook. It seems like it though. :|</p>
<p>All I can say is that last year when the rain forests were being cut down, processed, printed, and mailed to me by the wagon-full, my dad put all of my college letters in one dark (and seemingly highly flammable) corner of my room. The only college-related information he ever paid attention to was the MIT viewbook. When it came I saw him flipping through it for a couple of days, and then he placed it on top of my keyboard. Not very subtle.</p>
<p>When I looked through it I thought it was some veritable guide of awesomeness (and color). Since it’s known mostly for science and engineering, I don’t think MIT gets enough credit for its marketing department. It certainly hooked me at least and got me to apply and eventually enroll (although I’m a pre-frosh so I can’t really comment on its accuracy). Still, I think it’s a very nice pamphlet. If it entices any of you apply, good luck :D</p>
<p>Gahh, I still haven’t received it XD</p>
<p>I’m taking yet another look at mine right now. It’s actually quite amazing. NYU and Columbia also have really nice viewbooks too but they emphasize the metropolitan feel more than anything.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My dad just gives everything to me and hopes I’ll be able to sort it out. Although I recycle the majority of them, MIT’s is among the very few I have read through, and the only one I have looked at more than twice.</p>
<p>This might be a stupid question, but who is it sent to/how do you request it?</p>
<p>I believe you can directly email the admission office for one. I know they send it out to particular student groups based on PSAT scores or something like that (I got one my senior year and I don’t recall being in any other thing which gives them access to my address). Oddly I remember there used to be a request viewbook blurb on mitadmissions but I can’t seem to find it anymore =/</p>
<p>I want to see too! =P</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I got a much lower PSAT score than what it would have reflected on my SAT, but I’m sure I requested it somehow. I don’t really know how though, but I never figured that they’d bother since it was like a 196.</p>
<p>I don’t think it has anything to do with PSAT/SAT score, unless some got lost in the mail somewhere. I got 223/2400.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, I figured I must have requested it somehow.</p>
<p>I never requested anything, and my PSAT was a bit lower than yours. Hmm, maybe it has something to do with whether or not you checked of ‘YES’ in the PSAT that makes it so that you get a lot of junk mail from colleges…
I have some friends who received the viewbook as well, none of them requested it. I’m sure you’ll find it in the mail sometime soon.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, naturally, but I figured that there is a certain score range that they concern themselves with. Maybe I was a bit naive but I never really expected anything from a university of MIT’s caliber though.</p>
<p>But it’s still great. I don’t regret checking that ‘yes’ if that’s why I got it.</p>
<p>I just tried emailing them for one, and I got a robo-email telling me to go to [MIT</a> Admissions](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/]MIT”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/)… -_-</p>
<p>I emailed them about it last week, and they sent a response saying that their records indicated that I had been mailed some “materials” the previous day. Hopefully I should be getting something soon.</p>
<p>Applying this year. I haven’t received a viewbook yet. It would be nice to have, I guess. I hear it’s quite good.</p>
<p>I never got a viewbook last year, and I’m a '13er.</p>
