According to the MIT physics admissions website (http://web.mit.edu/physics/prospective/ ... index.html), a completed application must include the "Field and Support Preference form" which "...is included in the online physics application" (http://web.mit.edu/physics/prospective/ ... fform.html).
I have registered online for the application, however I have been unable to find the required Field and Support Preference form.
Can anyone shed some light on where to acquire/find this form and how exactly to submit this (online or by post) ?
Thanks.
Field and Support preference form for MIT application
Re: Field and Support preference form for MIT application
I believe the field preference is under "Application Information" (page 1) where you select a preferred research field of interest and support preference is under "Financial Support" (page 9).
It might be best to send an email to physics-grad [at] mit.edu and ask them about this.

Re: Field and Support preference form for MIT application
Thanks.
I did send an email to them.
Are you applying this year? Maybe someone who has applied in the previous years can confirm if there is not so much as a field and support preference "form", as individual entries (on page 1 and 9) to be filled up in the online application, as sydfloyd suggested.
But then i do not understand why they expressly mention on the website (http://web.mit.edu/physics/prospective/ ... index.html) that a complete application includes both the online application and field and support preference form, if it is anyway part of the online process.

Re: Field and Support preference form for MIT application
sarthorks, did you get a response from MIT about the form?
Re: Field and Support preference form for MIT application
I sent an e-mail to the MIT physics graduate admissions office and got a response. What I mentioned earlier in this thread is correct.

I never got a reply. Thanks sydfloyd.
I do not really have anything to fill in the Financial form, except say yes to considering me for fellowships.
