This post is for all of the students that are applying regular action for MIT.  Here are ten things not to do during your interview:

  1. Never go into your interview without a copy of your application even if it is incomplete.
  2. Never say that you are good with computers and then have difficulty with the printer while trying to print a copy of your application infront of your EC.
  3. It is also a wise idea not to jam the printer, especially if it is used for printing order reports and other items that are required for the business.
  4. It is not a good idea to force the computer into a need to reboot.
  5. Don’t get nervous and temporarily forget the letters MIT.
  6. Never confuse mit.edu with the nonexistant website, mit.com.
  7. Don’t bring in a laptop with a nearly dead battery.
  8. It may not be a good idea to forget the size of your school.
  9. When you go to leave and only one door functions as an exit, don’t go for the other door(s).
  10. Don’t forget how to say your EC’s name.

I personally would have liked this list because I did all of these in my interview.
