<p>Thank you to any replies. I am not asking for chances of getting in (that is basically impossible to tell), but asking if I am on the right track.</p>
<p>9th grade isn't the time to start worrying, it's the time to build a foundation! Enjoy life, take lots of hard science and math classes, and do interesting things! That's the ticket into MIT for yah.</p>
<p>yeah you do need help if you want to know if you're on the right track for MIT when you're a freshman. do want us to tell u to do more ECs, take harder classes?</p>
<p>What "help" could you possibly need? Take whatever path opens before you and is the most interesting. Wherever that leads you is the right answer. You should be choosing the path, not the destination.</p>
<p>Yes. I got in, and you're in about the same place I was when I was in 9th grade (Bs in Bio, C++ programmer, taking French, and comprable extra-curriculars), except that you go to a way better high school than me.</p>
<p>I just have to reiterate everyone else's point: relax.</p>
<p>Admission to college is such a subjective process. You can get rejected by a far less stellar school than any you are accepted into.</p>
<p>If you spend your entire high school career focusing on getting into MIT, and then you don't, you're going to look back and think, "I wasted my high school career for nothing!" If you do get accepted, you might realize that what you wanted when you were 14 is nothing like what you want when you're 18. Keep open to figuring out who you are and what you enjoy - not what's expected of you by your top ranked school in the whatever. </p>
<p>I went to one of those prestigious high schools, got my Eagle Scout, and on to the Ivy League. When you get to college, you realize pretty quickly that you're sitting next to a kid from a public school in Arkansas who can think circles around you on one side and a kid from whatever New York's version of your prestigious school is on the other who's dumber than an ostrich and stumbles into class every morning hung over. Seriously - there are some REALLY stupid people in these top ranked schools.</p>
<p>I've come to a realization - in the highest forms of consciousness, there is no competition. Competition is a very inefficient, fear-based model we exist on as a society because it is all we know.</p>
<p>When you elevate your consciousness to simply opening yourself to your highest good, the opportunities to reach your highest potential present themselves to you when you need them. If you're studying Hindu philosophy, you should be aware of the concept of living in the moment. You, right now, are not. Open to simply receive your highest good through your intuition and you'll know what activities to do, when to work hard, and when to enjoy your incredible moment that is high school! You'll also be admitted to whatever school is best for you, so long as you remain open to that highest good. </p>
