Who should my references be and how do they submit my letters of recommendation?

• At least 1 of the 2 recommendations must be from faculty members from an institution where you have conducted research or taken classes.
• Applicants with prior research experience (whether at your home institution or elsewhere) are required to provide, at minimum, 1 letter of recommendation from a research supervisor. If you have conducted research under a faculty member, a letter from this individual would qualify as being from faculty and a research supervisor.
• If you have participated in MSRP previously, 1 letter must be from your MIT research mentor.
• All letters of recommendation are submitted online. When you provide information for your references on your application, they will automatically receive an email containing a link to answer questions and submit the letter of recommendation. Please ask your references to watch for this email, as it may get caught in their spam filter.
• You will be able to re-send the reference request link until the application deadline, even after you have submitted your application.
