<p>Hello! I was wondering if you could chance me- ADVICE is appreciated. I would appreciate it very much! I also would like to know how I should approach MIT's essay questions..

I wold also like to start an organization regarding power plants, but how do I do that?</p>
<p>I am very passionate about electrical engineering and I have makde some cool projects such as LEd cubes, and a mictrocontroller but do I have a chance? I feel like MIT expects me to start a corporation or something.
Thanks, i appreciate it.</p>
<p>Here’s all the advice you need imo:
Find a teacher that you can relate to and become close with them to receive good recommendations. Most people overlook how importance these are.
Start testing now, not in the fall!
Diversify your ECs a little. Your concentration is very apparent and it’s good but try to reach a little beyond that.
If you’ve invented those things try to find a professor at a local university to help you expand your work and develop research or something off of that.
Good luck!</p>
<p>Your GPA is below Berkeley’s average admit rate, I’m afraid Berkeley would be tough for you. Berkeley engineering admits only about 10% of the applicants, so try to maintain a very high GPA and take more APs.</p>
