A strange, easy question.

<p>Hey! I've begun to look more seriously into colleges and am interested in both Caltech and MIT. The problem that I am facing is that I am much more interested in math than science. I have always been able to take the hardest math classes offered and end up with the top grade in the class (without much effort). Science, however, is a different story. While I have taken honors science classes when offered, it has always been a lot more work. Truthfully, the science teachers at my school are notorious for their lack of teaching skills, which makes it difficult for me to see how good I am with science. (Think: Bio teachers scared of animals and Chem teachers who don't know how to use equipment..) My GPA isn't greatly affected.</p>

<p>Is it worth it to apply to Caltech/MIT if I am not a top science student? I am not awful, but I am significantly better at math. This will show in the SAT IIs. I will most likely double major in math and econ.</p>

<p>(I am not worried about taking science classes at college though)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>well keep in mind that math gets very different after high school, so being good at math in high school doesn’t mean you’ll be good at it in college/at caltech. the only way to find out if you WILL be good is to try it :)</p>
