<p>Also, I had one question about those interviews. They have to be done with the EC in your area, right? I presume this isn’t something where you go to campus for an interview…</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You’ll get the contact information for your EC on MyMIT sometime in late summer/early fall. The interviews are either in your immediate area, or, if there’s no EC living near you, the interview is waived.</p>
