- Math or Science teacher recommendation
MIT requires at least one of your teacher recommendations to come from a math or science teacher.
If neither of the recommendations you submitted through the QuestBridge application was from a math or science teacher, you will need to submit one. Go to http://my.mit.edu to log in to your account (or create an account if you don't have one yet), download an ''Evaluation A'' form in the ''Application Forms'' section, and have a math or science teacher complete it.
(If you've already submitted at least one math or science teacher recommendation through the Questbridge application, you do not need to submit an additional one.)
- Citizenship Documentation (only required for Permanent Residents)
MIT will only consider US Citizens and Permanent Residents for the Match. All others are encouraged to forward their applications for regular decision.
If you report your citizenship status as "Permanent Resident", fax a copy of your registry documents (i.e. Permanent Resident Card) to:
617-687-9184
Write "QuestBridge" on the cover letter.
- 2012-2013 CSS PROFILE (including Noncustodial PROFILE, if applicable)

- MyMIT Account
Log on to http://my.mit.edu to create a MyMIT account. You do not need to submit an MIT online application. Don't worry if you see your application listed as ''Early Action'' -- this means we've received your Questbridge College Match application.
- Interview (optional, but very strongly recommended)
You can contact your MIT interviewer with the contact information provided through your MyMIT account. The deadline to contact your interviewer is October 20, 2011. If the deadline has passed, you should still make an effort to contact your interviewer; however, not all interviewers will be able to accommodate late requests.
You may apply to any of QuestBridge's partner colleges via Regular Decision. Admission through Regular Decision is not binding and does not come with a guaranteed financial aid package. You must complete two steps in order to apply to a partner college via QuestBridge:
- Request Regular Decision application forwarding on your "My Locker" page between December 1st and December 15th.
- Submit all required additional materials. Required materials may range from submitting official transcripts to emailing the college's admissions office to submitting the Common Application.
All additional materials are due by the individual college's Regular Decision deadline, and you will be notified of the admissions decision according to their normal deadlines. Please note that colleges may have different Regular Decision deadlines, and many partner colleges have different requirements for QuestBridge finalists and non-finalists. You may need to submit additional materials even if you ranked a college for the College Match process.
