The IDOCs of March
Happy March 15th! What an exciting week, Pi Day yesterday, the Ides of March today, and St. Patty's day on Thursday (by the way, here in Boston, the local folks get to take the day off on Thursday -- something about an Evacuation Day? -- I don't know, any excuse to party on Patty's Day). MIT will be open on Thursday -- no one will be evacuating here.
So, I missed last night's debate. Other issues intervened, but, no surprise, there were no losers at last night's debate, only an unfinished conversation. There is a pretty humorous piece in this morning's Tech covering the event. Read it and eat!
As for a financial aid update, we are still working on completing reviews of application files as we receive them, but I have to tell you, for many of you, we haven't received your documents. I know, I know, admissions decisions are still in the mail, many of you are getting over the shock and angst of the admissions decision, but we need you to complete your file. If you are unsure what still needs to be done, look on Autumn to see what is missing and GET IT DONE!
If there is information that you think you have submitted but that we don't show we have on file, please contact us ASAP by phone - (617) 253-4971 - or by email - finaid(at)mit(dot)edu - so that we can resolve the issue.
If you need help understanding what we've asked you to do, feel free to post questions here, review the “Forms and More Forms” category on the left, or be in touch with us. We know many of you are trying your hardest to complete the application requirements; let us know what we can do to help!
One other fun thing. On Friday, I finally got the opportunity to meet Mitra, one of my fellow bloggers here at MIT. To commemorate the mailing of the admissions decisions, the four of us (Mitra, Ben, Matt and I) took a group photo. Here it is:
