Hey, I'm an Indian student from Dubai and I'm actually planning on applying to MIT this year. I plan on taking the biomedical stream. One of my English language teachers who has taught me for three years is leaving the country this year and has written a letter of recommendation for me. I want to know if I can send this letter to the admissions office as an additional supplement or one of the two letters that MIT requires as recommendation ? (since she wrote it recently, I think she may hve not included ALL the criteria asked in the MIT applications form regarding this issue).

Secondly, I studied GCE O levels from one school, and the A levels from another. I wanted to know if MIT would accept the school transcripts from grade 9 to 11 (and now grade 12 and 13 when I'm done) given that both these schools did not have the GPA system since they are from the British curriculum.

Thanks =)
