Subject: MIT Freshman Survey

Dear [Freshman's First Name]:

Welcome! I hope you're having a fun and relaxing summer.

Before embarking on your first semester at MIT, please take a few
minutes to complete a survey of first year students. This survey,
conducted at schools throughout the country, asks students about their
high school activities, goals for college, and plans after
graduation. We pay close attention to this information and use it in a
variety of program and policy areas, including admissions and
institutional research and assessment.

You will have an opportunity at the beginning of the survey to decide
how much information about yourself that you would like to share with
the researchers that oversee the survey and administrators at
MIT. Your responses will be completely confidential and no personally
identifiable information will be attributed to you without your
explicit permission. To access the survey, please click on the
following link:

This is a unique link assigned to you. For this reason, it is
important that you do not share it or forward this e-mail. The survey
consists of nine linked sections; please complete all sections so that
we have a record of your full set of responses. This survey takes
approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. We encourage you to fill out
the survey as soon as possible, but allow enough time to complete it
in one sitting. If you encounter any problems while taking the survey,
please contact websurvey@mit.edu.

Thank you for providing this feedback. We greatly value your input.

Sincerely,

Marilee Jones
MIT Dean of Admissions
