On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission to the MIT Class of 2016! You stood out as one of the most talented and promising students in the most competitive applicant pool in the history of the Institute. Your commitment to personal excellence and principled goals has convinced us that you will both contribute to our diverse community and thrive within our academic environment. We think that you and MIT are a great match.
You'll likely have offers of admission from many fine schools, but we hope that you'll choose to enroll at MIT. You have until May 1, 2012 to let us know if you'll call MIT home for the next four years - please visit your MyMIT account to complete our official Reply Form. Until then, we look forward to building our relationship with you and to helping you to get to know us better. In the coming weeks, we'll be in touch via phone, email, and web.
We hope you will be our guest at Campus Preview Weekend (CPW), held on the MIT campus from Thursday, April 19 through Sunday, April 22. CPW is an excellent way to experience MIT student life firsthand. You'll go to classes, eat lots of food, join hallway conversations, and meet your future classmates. We encourage your parents to attend as well - please see the CPW website for all the information you'll need: mitcpw.org
If you are a financial aid applicant, any information about your financial aid application can be found on the MyMIT portal. Simply scroll down past the Application Tracking to Financial Aid. If your financial aid application is complete, your award letter will be available on the MyMIT portal by April 1. If you have any questions about financial aid, feel free to contact Student Financial Services at sfs@mit.edu or 617-253-4971.
And now for the requisite fine print - I must remind you that this offer of admission is contingent upon your completing the school year with flying colors. Have fun with the rest of your senior year, but please keep your grades up!
I hope you'll agree with us that MIT is the perfect place to prepare for your future. As a member of our community, you'll join builders, scholars, entrepreneurs, and humanitarians. Together, you will make all the difference in a world that desperately needs you.
Many congratulations, and once again, welcome to MIT! Now stop reading this and go celebrate. :-)
Sincerely,
Stuart Schmill
Dean of Admissions
