Update Your Profile Information

The Profile Information section of your application should be automatically filled with the information you entered when you created your MIT Bootcamps account, but please double-check it! If any of your information has changed, please update your profile with current information.

Submit Your Resume and/or LinkedIn Profile

Next, you will be asked to upload your resume and/or submit a link to your LinkedIn profile. If you choose to submit your LinkedIn profile, please be sure your profile privacy settings are set to public so we will be able to view it.

Please note: Your resume or CV must be submitted as a PDF, and must be submitted through the Bootcamps Application Dashboard as part of the application process. MIT Bootcamps cannot accept documents submitted via email or saved in other formats.
