I am applying to R2.
Almost done with essays and am in the middle of the Cover letter. I have 4 questions regarding the online application and my bad for not getting to the online application specifics till now. Will greatly appreciate any inputs.
#1. Employer Information: I see only two sections in the Employer Information page - Current or Previous Employer & Previous Employer. My position with my current employer has changed twice in the last 4 years. Intern -> Analyst -> Manager. Though my resume will have this info, how can I indicate this info in the Employer Information page? I don't see 'Previous title' etc. And I haven't seen any option that lets applicants to add Employers (what if one has 2+ previous employers)?
#2. Undergrad institution name/code isn't in the list. For now, I typed in the name of the institution in both the fields (Undergrad Inst Code/Name). Did anyone here have a similar issue and what is the recommended solution?
#3. I have a Masters degree too. In the 'Education' page, I don't see a special section for Masters. The second section specifically mentions 'Second undergrad' but the third section doesn't include any such info. So, I updated the third section with my Masters' info. Am I missing anything here?
#4. Employer Information: There is a question that asks the full-time post-university experience by July 2011. I worked 4 years after my undergrad (college) and 4 years after my Masters (University). Is it OK to answer that I have 4 years of post-university work experience?
Any help/suggestions will enlighten me.
Thank you.

I submitted R1.
#1 Not sure
#2 Yeah I think you are supposed to type it in if your undergrad institution isn't there.
#3 I have a Masters too. But I just put it in the second school slot (there were only two education slots on my application), so I'm a little confused about the "3rd and 4th" sections you mention. To your other point, I don't think I've seen a "masters section" either. It all falls under "Education"
#4 It seems like you did 8 years total? By 'post-university' they just mean 'after college.' So I think it's appropriate to put 8 years.

To #1, I 'm in the same situation and am only listing my most recent position. I think MIT relies more heavily on the resume than other schools and is intentionally trying to keep the employment section very brief.
Other schools may offer more slots for previous employment but I don't think they're looking for multiple entries with the same employer, either, since many ask for starting and current salary information.
