<p>So for the supplement question: Describe what department or program appeals to you and why, would it be risky to discuss how I’m interested in political science and the global initiatives? I can’t find anywhere if the undergraduate program is ranked, and noticed that there are only 4 undergrad pol. sci majors at MIT. Would it be safer to write about my interest in economics? Please help…</p>
<p>No, that would not be risky. MIT genuinely wants to know what it is you are interested in. If political science weren’t a legit thing to study at MIT, there woudn’t be an entire department dedicated to it. (Besides, a huge chunk of undergrads end up changing majors.)</p>
