- if I accept MIT’s offer of admission as well as an offer of admission to another college or university for the same period of enrollment;
- if I engage in behavior that brings into question my honesty, maturity, or professional suitability; or
- if I engage in conduct that violates MIT policy, including but not limited to those in the Mind & Hand Book.
