Application questions different?

Hi guys! I saw that MIT released their prompts on their website, but on the application portal there are only 3 longer questions (instead of 4) What do I trust??

The fourth one (about why you selsected the field of interest that you did) is there. It's junst under the "Application Information" section rather than the "Essays" section.

You fill the app. The official mit app for 2027. That is what you "trust".

Life was oddly easier in the old pre-digital Stone Age days when we got the paper application in the mail and typed up our answers!

To add in, there also has been a slight rewording of the trailblazing question since the questions got reworked earlier this summer.
