<p>^It would be nice to know that people received what was sent – but, alas, it is not to be. (I don’t think.) My son submitted only supplemental MUSIC materials, and within the instructions, he read that he should not expect any acknowledgment of their receipt – that they were too busy and received too many supplements to take the time to acknowledge. So, I think he has his answer! :)</p>
<p>Oh well, we’ll just trust that the system works! :)</p>
<p>^@shiny, you also asked the only question my son had regarding the MIT application.</p>
<p>He took his tests long ago. However, he only recently chose to apply Early Action to MIT. So, he didn’t send his scores until very recently – and it sounds like they won’t arrive at MIT by the November 1 deadline, if it really takes 4-6 weeks to process scores. So, like you, he was worried that his scores might be considered late.</p>
<p>He searched and searched the MIT website, but didn’t find a specific answer to his specific question. Instead, he assumed, based on something he DID find, that if they take November 2010 test scores on an EA application, they would take November 2009 scores that were ordered by the EA application deadline of November 1, 2010. </p>
<p>Based on what we’ve read here, from MITChris, it seems that he guessed right! :)</p>
<p>^Yes, definitely. As long as you’ve asked for the scores to be sent, you’ll be fine. They don’t need to have arrived by November 1.</p>
<p>^Excellent. Thanks mollie! :)</p>
<p>@Simple</p>
<p>Don’t worry, I sent my scores on October 15th and MIT received them about a week and a half later :D</p>
<p>^Thanks, shiny! I’ll be you feel great to have your MIT application behind you! :)</p>
<p>@MITChris - Hello!
I have a couple of questions: I had ACT sent in my official score in Sept, but still not showing up on my application tracking page? </p>
<p>I called about 3 weeks ago, was told that there was a system problem, should be fixed by mid Oct. But it is still not showing up. Should I be worried? </p>
<p>Will the Oct 9 SAT score, which will be release on Oct 28 show up a few days after MIT receives the scores electonically?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>@bugs - </p>
<p>Don’t be worried. Your scores were taken in time. If they still aren’t in when we look at your application we will get it sorted out with no disadvantage to you, I promise :)</p>
<p>I just wanted this perfectly clarified…</p>
<p>1) Do I need to send my SAT scores in by November 1st?
1b) If I do, do they need to be at your office by November 1st?</p>
<p>2) Does my school need to have everything sent in/postmarked my November 1st?</p>
<p>Sorry if these questions were already asked/answered.</p>
<p>Thank-you!!</p>
<p>I was talking to my guidance counselor today, and she said she really wanted me to send in a resume because I have a lot to show. I figured that you guys only had 5 spots on the app for EC’s for a reason. She wanted me to ask just to make sure.</p>
<p>So should I send in a resume along with everything else?</p>
<p>You don’t need to, honestly.</p>
<p>I’m taking multivariable differential calculus from Stanford’s EPGY program. I won’t have a grade in the class by Nov 1. </p>
<p>1) Should I list it as a class in the classes section?</p>
<p>2) Should I list classes I’m taking this semester at my high school (which are currently gradeless) in the classes section?</p>
<p>3) Also, is PE a “regular college prep. class”?</p>
<p>@ace,</p>
<p>1)Yes.
1b)No.</p>
<p>2)Presumably. According to my son, YES. However, he may be in the same boat as you. He requested everything on time, but whether his teachers, counselor, and registrar submit everything on time is out of his hands. So far, for him, and for his siblings before him, their school has been loyal and true. 
No problems ever. But the school documents are not yet showing up on his MIT website. Whether that will fly with admissions is unknown at this time.</p>
<p>Okay, so writing my second essay (What program or department…) . I think it’s pretty obvious from my extracurriculars etc. what program I’m interested in (my interviewer was under the impression that this was true, too.) So I wrote what I’d probably say in an interview, and about half of it was basically why I’m such a great fit with MIT’s mission/teaching techniques that I’d be fine with a different major. Does this sound okay, or would a reader think I’m evading the question? (They have the whole app when reading essays, right?)</p>
<p>What’s the best way to include information on holding a job during school. Is just listing it enough? Unlike most of his peers, S has worked as a lifeguard part time to earn his own spending $ and so he could go to Germany in Summer. None of the essay questions seem to ask about that kind of stuff.</p>
<p>@ flalaw97:
the additional section would do</p>
<p>
The readers read the application as a whole, not just a part of it.</p>
<p>I don’t know the exact details of your situation, but I would advise you to be clear and explicit whenever possible. Don’t assume that the readers will infer your intended major from your extracurriculars and previous experience – they won’t.</p>
<p>How should one go about reporting AP scores? Is it enough to list the scores in part 2 and/or send in my school’s documents? Or should I send them via the collegeboard automated dialing system?</p>
<p>MIT processed my green card today. Kinda exciting to see some progress on my app haha.</p>
<p>@HEK, see post #375. You don’t need to submit AP scores. Self-reporting is fine.</p>
