I get lots of questions along the lines of, “In my country/school, things work like this. [insert explanation of unique circumstance] WIll MIT understand and take that into consideration?”</p>

<p>As professional admissions officers, we have a wide knowledge base and are pretty good at figuring out things we don’t know from your application. Usually, we’ll be aware of your situation and if we’re not, we’ll do some information gathering using the internet or the phone or email. The only way to be 100% sure, though, that we are completely knowledgeable of your situation is to tell us about it in your application.
