News for Admitted Students

News for Admitted Students Hello, MIT Class of 2015! Here are some things that admitted students should do, now that the entire class has been admitted Check out your MyMIT Portal: Over at MyMIT, youll find a bunch of stuff only available to admitted students, including: Campus Preview Weekend Registration: Please register for CPW by March 24 or when your travel plans are solidified, whichever is sooner. Also, when you fill out your CPW registration form, give us as much specific information as you can; this will help us make your CPW experience as good as possible. Finally, please complete the Medical Release Form. Notes to the wise: if youre flying in, book your plane tickets early. If your parents are joining you, have them book their hotel early (today or tomorrow would be very smart). I highly recommend hotels that are within walking distance (or easy public transportation) of MIT driving and parking in Boston is not a good experience. Local Admitted Students Meetings: During MIT Spring Break next week, MIT alumni across the globe will be hosting gathering for the Class of 2014, as nearby campus as Providence, Rhode Island, and as far away as Singapore. There will be meetings in dozens of locales, including New York City, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington (both the state in Seattle as well as the District of Columbia), Miami, Chicago, and many more. RSVP information is included. Class of 2015 Guestbook: Hundreds of your classmates have checked in to introduce themselves. Since only admitted students can enter themselves on the guestbook, its a good way to share your contact information securely with your future classmates, and to get emails and screennames to be in touch with fellow MIT 2015s! The MIT Reply Form: As soon as youve made up your mind for sure about whether or not to attend MIT after youve received your financial aid package, come for CPW, or anything else that you need to make your decision please let us know your decision through the online reply form. You have three choices: tell us youre enrolling this fall (Yay! Welcome officially to the MIT Class of 2015!), that youre declining our offer of admission (its okay, we know youre making the best choice for yourself), or to request a deferral/gap year(s) before enrolling at MIT (for a gap year, military service, or other reason). Take as much time as you need to make your decision (and if we can help, please let us know), but be sure to let us know by May 2. Overnight Program Registration: If you cant make it for CPW, dont despair, you can still come visit through our Overnight Program. Please register at least two weeks in advance, and well do our best to show you MIT. Link to the Facebook Group: Facebook is a great place to meet your future classmates and get questions answered by current students. Ensure you have completed your financial aid application: On MyMIT, you can view your financial aid tracking. If you are missing documents, get them in ASAP so that you can get a financial aid package ASAP! Webcast event on Saturday! Watch your email for details! Await Financial Aid Info: I know many of you who have complete aid applications are eagerly awaiting financial aid information dont despair! Financial Aid packages will be mailed this week. Finally, Class of 2015, what would you like to see us do blog entries on over the coming month or so? How can we be best helpful for you as you make your college decision?
