About the Midyear Report

About the Midyear Report Weve been getting many questions about the Midyear Report. Here are some answers. On mitadmissions.org, it says the following about the Midyear Report: This online form is required for all applicants, including Early Action deferred applicants and Regular Action applicants. The Midyear Report will be available on your MyMIT account in February and should be completed as soon as possible after completion of the fall semester (or after completion of the second quarter, if your school uses a quarter-based system). If your school uses a trimester schedule, please use your first trimester grades. Please be sure to get your official midyear grades from your Guidance Office in order to complete the Midyear Report accurately. Your Guidance Office does not need to mail your midyear grades to us directly we will verify the accuracy of the information you submit as needed. The Midyear Report also includes an opportunity for you to update us on anything important that has occurred since you submitted your application. Using the Midyear Report for such updates is preferred over mailed updates. And on your MyMIT Tracking detail page, it says: This online form is required of all applicants and will be available on this page in February. Even with this information, questions about the Midyear Report (a.k.a. MYR) are currently the most popular question being called in to our offices. So, heres a blog entry that will hopefully help answer many of your questions. The Midyear Report is an online form that is to be completed by every student being considered for Regular Action admission (thus, RA applicants including international students and EA deferreds). The Midyear Report is to be completed by you, the applicant. The MIT Midyear Report is different than the Common Application Midyear Report. The Common App MYR which is filled out by your counselor and sent to Common Application schools. The MIT Midyear Report is to be filled out by you, the applicant, online via your MyMIT Tracking. The MIT Midyear Report serves two purposes: to get your updated grades since you have applied (Midyear Grades). to get any other updates since you submitted your application (Midyear Updates). The Midyear Grades form has fields for your to report your coursework and grades. This is similar to the Self-Reported Coursework Form from the Part 2 of the application, except that were only looking for current year courses and grades. And were only looking for this from students with something to report so if youre in a school that doesnt have midyear grades, or youve already graduated, dont worry, youre all set you will be able to skip this section. The Midyear Updates form will be a simple text box, similar to one of the essays from the Part 2. The Midyear Update has a maximum of 250 words. We are happy to accept a midyear/updated transcript from your school/counselor, or the Common App Midyear Report form. However, your school/counselors submission of this still means that you must also complete our online MIT Midyear Report. The MIT Midyear Report will be online in February and will be available for several weeks. I hope this is helpful!
