Will I be able to resubmit an essay?

Hello everyone,

I’ll try and make this quick! I applied to MIT Early Action at the end of last month. I felt pretty confident about my essays, since I was working on them since the second the application was released.

In the past few days, I had some new ideas for one of the essays. It doesn’t really change many of the ideas, but I feel like it would enhance my essay a bit more.

My question is, if I happen to get deferred (which happens to the majority of applicants), will I have the chance to resubmit this essay? I know that MIT offers the chance to submit the February Update, but I wasn’t sure if the essay would be included in this. Any information would be great. Thanks so much!
