<p>Since it’s not a college essay, I’ll paste it right here:</p>
<p>"Dear MIT Admissions Office,</p>
<p>Attached is a photocopy of my green card. For application tracking purposes, I am an undergraduate applicant of South Portland High School. I hope the Admissions Office will not mind the expiry date on the card – my family is in the process of getting our cards renewed and we should have our new cards within the year. My permanent residency status never expires – only the card, as I have been advised, for airport security purposes – and thus should only be an issue in transiting in and out of the country. As such, I hope this will not be a problem.</p>
<p>Thanks and yours faithfully,
John Riemann Soong"</p>
<p>I just want to make sure I am not sounding arrogant or anything.</p>
